It clarified that if an eligible Indian branch provides services to another branch of the same company and no invoice is raised, with the receiving branch eligible for full Input Tax Credit (ITC), the supply value is treated as NIL, and no GST applies.
Yes, questions remain regarding the treatment of invoices from foreign subsidiaries and the interpretation of 'distinct persons' under Section 8 of the IGST Act 2017.
