Quotation aur proforma invoice mein fark

Last updated: 3 October 2026

Kaam shuru hone se pehle customer ko aksar do kagaz diye jaate hain: quotation ya proforma invoice. Dono dikhne mein invoice jaise lagte hain, par kaam alag hai. Dono mein se koi bhi tax invoice nahi hota.

Seedha fark

	Quotation	Proforma invoice
Kya hai	Keemat ka prastav (offer)	Pakka hone par diya jaane wala pehla invoice
Kab dete hain	Customer ne abhi haan nahi kaha	Customer ne haan kaha, advance ya approval chahiye
Customer par bandhan	Nahi, wo mana kar sakta hai	Aam taur par payment ki taiyari dikhata hai
Payment	Nahi maangte	Advance payment maang sakte hain
Tax invoice hai?	Nahi	Nahi

Kab kaun sa banayein

Quotation: jab customer pooch raha ho "kitna lagega?". Isme "valid until" tareekh likhna accha rehta hai, jaise 15 din.
Proforma invoice: jab customer ne kaam ya maal pakka kar diya ho, aur aapko advance lena ho ya customer ko apni company mein approval ke liye kagaz chahiye.
Tax invoice: jab maal ya seva asal mein de di jaye. Final bill yehi hota hai.

Ek zaroori baat

Quotation ya proforma invoice par GST ka input credit nahi milta, kyunki ye tax invoice nahi hote. Isliye in par saaf likhna chahiye ki ye "tax invoice nahi hai". ClearInvoices mein dono ke neeche ye line apne aap aati hai.
