country. Bills for such expenses are issued in the name of the Head Office. But the head office itself does not provide
any outward supplies hence the credit accruing on account of such input services cannot be utilized. Since the
expenditure incurred is for the business of all the units, it is natural that the credit of input services in respect of such
bills should be divided among all the consuming units.

The ISD mechanism enables such proportionate distribution of credit of input services among all consuming units. It
is important to note that the ISD mechanism is meant to distribute credit only on bills relating to input services and
not on goods (inputs or capital goods).

As per Section 2(61) of the CGST Act, Input Service Distributor means the office of the supplier of goods or services
or both who receives the tax bill issued under Section 31 for receipt of input services and maintains the same

ISDs are required to mandatorily obtain separate registration as ISDs and apply for the same in Form GST REG-1.
There is no prescribed limit of total turnover for registration of ISD. Other locations may be registered separately.
Since the services relate to other places, similar credit from where such services are to be transferred will have to be
registered as ISD (which have separate registration).

1. Distribution of Credit by Input Service Distributor

The Input Service Distributor will distribute the credit by issuing the prescribed documents in the following manner-

• Central tax in the form of central tax or integrated tax,

• State tax in the form of state tax or integrated tax, and

• Integrated tax as integrated tax.

Example- Corporate office of ABC Limited is situated in Bangalore as ISD, the company received some bills on receipt
of common services on which central tax of ₹ 4 lakh, state tax of ₹ 4 lakh and integrated tax of ₹ 7 lakh were
imposed. Has happened.

The company can distribute this central tax, state tax and integrated tax as integrated tax up to ₹ 15 lakh through ISD
bills to units located in Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata.

(b) Condition for Distribution of Credit: The Input Service Distributor may distribute credit subject to the following
conditions, namely -

(I) the credit can be distributed to the recipients of services only through the prescribed documentation;

(ii) the amount of credit distributed shall not exceed the amount of credit available for distribution;

(iii) Credit of tax paid on input services shall be distributed only to the recipient to whom it is payable.

Example – If an ISD has 4 units across the country. If an input service specifically belongs to only one unit but the bill
is raised in the name of ISD, the ISD can distribute credit only to that unit and not to other units. If input services
have been received for all the units, credit will be distributed in proportion to the turnover of all the units.

(c) Invoice/Credit Note/Debit Note issued by ISD

A person registered as an Input Service Distributor having the same PAN and State Code may issue a bill or, as the
case may be, a debit note or a credit note for transferring the credit of the common input goods, in which the
following details should be included-
