In case of short shipments due to shut out/back to town, IGST has to be calculated proportionately item wise in the invoice based on the actual quantity of exports. This is further explained by the following illustration: Illustration: An exporter raises an export invoice as below: Item Quantity (units) Unit Price (Rs) Total Price IGST (Rs) A 1000 200 2,00,000 24,000 B 2000 100 2,00,000 24,000 4,00,000 48,000 Due to some reasons, he finally exports only 900 units of Item A and 1900 units of Item B.
