“C” is the recipient of goods.

2. In this complete scenario two supplies are involved and accordingly two tax invoices are required to be issued:

Invoice -1: which would be issued by “B” to “A”.

Invoice -2: which would be issued by “A” to “C”.

Appeal against order of any authority can be filed by the party aggrieved by the order, i.e., the Assessee or the Department. Filing of appeal involves lots of cost and effort and also takes up the time of the judicial authority. Assessee files appeal after considering various factors such as amount of pre-deposit required, amount involved in dispute, time factor etc. However, for department appeal the CBDT specifies a monetary limit, i.e., upto specified monetary limit, no appeal shall be filed by the department.
