Hi

15000/- worth services renedered by a law firm. 

I paid money to a small law firm in 2017. The amount is upto 10000/-. 

They are saying they dont have to issue a GST Invoice. I am arguing they had to that time. They gave a cash receipt only for above amount but not with complete details like pending 5000/- on it which I owe them.

What are the invoice acts relevant to this kind of companies during 2017? IF they are GST registration exempt as their revenue is less than 40 lakhs means they dont have to give a proper invoice?

Is settlement acts applicable to this type of company cause they payment system and payment operator is not satisfactory to me.  

AI search said its Bills of Supply for non GST registered suppliers and not sure if it is true or false. what are the acts related to it and invoice formats please?

Regards.
