Quantity of Copies

If your company has an exclusive excise invoice, the Central Excise department requires that you maintain three copies of an invoice:

• The original copy should be marked ORIGINAL FOR BUYER.

• The duplicate copy should be marked DUPLICATE FOR TRANSPORTER.

• The triplicate copy should be marked TRIPLICATE FOR ASSESSEE.

If your company uses a common tax invoice for multiple tax types, you can print additional copies and mark the purpose of each additional copy. Your company must inform the excise authorities of the number of copies generated.
