A combined reading of the above provisions indicates that the goods which are taken for supply on approval basis can be moved from the place of business of the registered supplier to another place within the same State or to a place outside the State on a delivery challan along with the e-way bill wherever applicable and the invoice may be issued at the time of delivery of goods. The person carrying the goods for such supply can carry the invoice book with him so that he can issue the invoice once the supply is fructified. All such supplies, where the supplier carries goods from one State to another and supplies them in a different State, will be inter-state supplies and attract IGST in terms of Section 5 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. . It is also clarified that this clarification would be applicable to all goods supplied under similar situations. [ C. B.
