More than one person can signs excise invoice subject to intimation of authorised signatory with the dept.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for quick reply. Is there any rule? Kindly mention. Actually my problem is we issue 4 copies of invoices. 2 at factory and another 2 at HO. Can two authorized persons signatures allowed for above case?

Dear Sir,

Thank you for valuable information. Regarding above problem we want to go digital signature option as per new rule 11. Below points wants clarity.

1. Can DS will use different places or only one place.

2. If invoice have modification after reach the customer, what steps should take.

3. After DS manual signature needed or not.

Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

Sir,

1) DS is generally sought in the name of authorized signatory who is in charge of a particular manufacturing plant.

2) Corrections on invoice invites auditor's attention. The difference is adjusted via debit/credit note.

3) it is optional.

Thanks.

If duty is paid, then, procedural lapses can be condoned.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Sir, Yes procedural lapses is challengable. Also the provison of computerised billing made life easy. The remake is mentioned as 'the document is signed digitally so no signature is required. Thanks.
