pradeep: On 30 June 2022 A is the Indian Firm B is the USA Company C is the customer to party B Goods being exported - Imitation Jewelry through DHL courier services ISSUE: Party A selling goods to party B at a price of $50 Party B selling goods to party C at a price of $100 Party A shipping goods from India through courier by generating GST invoice billed to party B and shipped to party C at a price of $100 at the request of party B as his purchase cost should not be disclosed to party C. In this scenario Actual Turnover to party A in his books is $50 only but shipping bill shows the turnover as $100 --- This causes hardship to party A for statutory non compliance. If we declare the Turnover in books as $100 actual foreign currency remittance received against the exports is only $ 50--- Here Violating the FEMA regulations In this regard need a solution for invoicing in this scenario with due compliance to all statutory and regulatory requirements.
