Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether office building owners should charge GST on electricity bills recharged to tenants. While some suggest a debit note is sufficient, others raise tax invoices. The consensus leans towards issuing a debit note without GST, especially if charges are based on actual consumption or if treated as reimbursement of expenses under the pure agent concept. Reference is made to Section 15 of the CGST Act and an advance ruling, though the applicability of the latter is limited.

No need to raise tax invoices. Just raise Debit Note against EB bill and mention detail narration Reimbursement expenses of Electricity charges
Yes it is hold good
For electricity charges there is no need to raise invoice that's true.
A debit note is sufficient.
But many companies raise tax invoice .
What should I do as per GST law ?
Issue Tax Invoice or Debit Note, please suggest with proper Rule.
Just Issue Debit Note without GST
Please define any circular, notification or any law which can prove this.
GST will be levied on recovery of electricity charged from. tenants in terms of Section 15 of CGST act. Electricity charges is ancillary to the main services, qualifies as composite supply. You can refer advance ruling of E-square leisure private Ltd.
