IGST. 5% = Rs. 1250

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct way to issue a GST purchase invoice, particularly concerning discounts. The supplier should apply the discount to the taxable value before adding GST, not after. The provided invoice incorrectly calculates the GST on the full amount before the discount. While the tax department might not object as they receive more tax, the invoice is not compliant with Section 15(3) of the CGST Act. A corrected journal entry is provided for accounting purposes.

No this is not a true invoice. If they are giving you discount then they have to give discount in taxable value that is 25000/-
then after they have to add GST Tax.
If u purchse cloths ,how supplier issue invoice of laptop..
By mistake write laptop, actually purchase cloth
@ Mr Anand.,

Are the same business or any other business...?
If any other then give details and usage of cloths...!
As per Section 15(3) of CGST Act , The discount mention on the Invoice shall be reduced from Supply before charging GST.

So the above invoice is not correct ....but....But the Department have no issue as they are getting more tax .

Pass the Entry :

Purchase (cloth ) A/C Dr 25000/-
IGST input A/c Dr 1250/-
To Supplier A/c Cr 24150/-
To Discount Reced A/c Cr .2100/-
