(Deprecated) Bills of Supply

IMPORTANT NOTICE
GST 1.0 APIs are deprecated and will not be supported after 30-11-2022. If you want to integrate with ClearTax GST, please use GST 2.0 APIs instead.
A bill of supply is a document of transaction that is different from a normal tax invoice. These bills do not contain any tax amount, as input tax cannot be charged in these cases.
