e‑Invoicing depends on turnover, not the item’s rate. If AATO exceeds the notified threshold (presently ₹5 crore), B2B invoices must be reported.
Use the exact HSN and form. Don’t charge GST on exempt items; apply 5%/12%/18% only where the entry requires it.
Example: Fresh/chilled produce in open packs is Nil. If it is not fresh/chilled and sold as pre‑packaged & labelled, 5% may apply for food items.
No. ITC attributable to exempt/Nil supplies is not available. If you also make taxable supplies, apportion and reverse credit under Rule 42.
