..... l year will be accounted for. - Reply By ABHISHEK TRIPATHI - The Reply = Dear Querist, Your situation is dicey though. The entire debate revolves around the interpretation of Aggregate Turnover (AT) used in the below principal notification. If you say AT should be interpreted in light of GST Act , then you don t need to issue an e-invoice. {Personally, more inclined towards this interpretation} If you say AT should be interpreted in light of general dictionary meaning, then you need to issue an e-invoice. Principal Notification as amended time to time as follows: In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-rule (4) of rule 48 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 (hereinafter referred as said rules), t .....

ABHISHEK TRIPATHI JI, Sir, I was expecting 'CONCLUSION' from you on this issue. Literal meaning of any phrase cannot be brushed aside.

So the notification states that if your AT in 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 exceeds INR 50 Cr., then you are the class of RP who has to issue e-invoice.

If we take AT in light of GST Act, then we will say that, there was no taxable supply, exempt supply (ingredients of AT) during Apr - June. Hence, AT in .....
