Samjhein: Proforma Invoice Kya Hota Hai Aur Kab Zaroori Hai?

Proforma Invoice koi legal tax invoice nahi hota, balki ye ek "Kachha Bill" ya formal commitment hota hai jo seller apne buyer ko delivery aur payment se pehle bhejta hai. Isse buyer ko delivery timeline, goods ki exact quantity aur payment terms ka clear estimate milta hai.

Khas Baat: Corporate buyers ya sarkari tenders me bina Proforma Invoice ke advance payment release nahi hoti. Is format me GST rate aur exact calculation pehle se mention hoti hai jisse final tax invoice me koi discrepancy na aaye.
