Payment from different ac and tax invoice in different name

This discussion explores the legality of a partnership firm receiving payment from a third party's bank account while issuing a GST invoice in the firm's name. It references the Indian Contract Act, which permits a stranger to contribute to consideration. However, it also raises a crucial point: what happens if the third party later claims they paid and wants the goods in their name? The thread seeks to clarify potential legal complications for the firm.
