FAQs for Sub Chapter 4901
What should my invoice and records include for Printed books, brochures, leaflets?
Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.
Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Printed books, brochures, leaflets?
Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.
Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Printed books, brochures, leaflets?
If your outward supply of Printed books, brochures, leaflets is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.
Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Printed books, brochures, leaflets?
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Printed books, brochures, leaflets are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Printed books, brochures, leaflets?
Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.
