  1. Facts

    For supplies below ₹200 to unregistered customers who do not ask for a bill, you may skip individual invoices. You must then issue one consolidated invoice for such sales at the end of each day.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Rule 46, CGST Rules 2017Contents of a tax invoice and the rule for small value supplies to unregistered buyers
    • Sec 31(3)(b), CGST Act 2017Tax invoice can be skipped for small value supplies to unregistered persons, subject to conditions
  3. Analysis

    Sec 31(3)(b) and Rule 46 allow this relief. Example: a paan shop has 150 sales under ₹200 in a day, totalling ₹11,000, with no customer asking for a bill; it issues one consolidated invoice for ₹11,000 at closing. If a customer asks for a bill, give one. Record the consolidated invoice in your sales register like any other bill.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Check each small sale is under ₹200 and to an unregistered customer.
    2. Give a bill whenever a customer asks.
    3. Issue one consolidated invoice at day end for the rest.
    4. Enter it in the sales register with its number.
