Will duplicate GST invoice on buyers name for used product be enough to claim warranty?
I see so many FB sellers doing that saying product is under brand warranty. I was interested in getting 16gb ram but the seller said original invoice is not available but GST invoice is available.
Its a risky bet.
Lets assume I am the seller, and have purchased the RAM stick from Amazon or local shop.
Now its a universally understood fact, if i purchase it from either of the two places, I will get a GST bill in my name, or else the AZ/Local bhaiya is toying with law (If I dont get a GST Bill, my RAM is black market stuff, because tax is not paid & Samsung (RAM Maker) can say "No warranty because you use Mikael Scott Avatar")

Now I try to stick my old RAM in your hands with some chewing gum & maybe super glue, I had purchased it from AZ some time back, and I want to stick it to you with a fresh bill, the questions which should come to your mind as a buyer should be as follows,
1. Is montsa007 a GST registered person/business?
2. Will the bill be in todays date? (toying with warranty period?, if my RAM maker is interested to screw buyers life over warranty they can check who was the RAM shipped to from their factory, since they have a GST bill & GST details)
3. Will montsa007 provide me the GST bill with proper HSN Code? (HSN Code is a unique number provided to each commodity, there are boat loads of HSN Codes, montsa007 can stick you the RAM with a chocolate's HSN Code, because, why not!?)
4. Continuing the above question, has montsa007 charged me correct GST %? (For instance I charge you 28% (Highest slab as of now) whereas computer accessories are 18%, and i pocket the 10%, but hey I intend to pocket the full 28% read further)
5. Will the RAM company honor the bill given by montsa007? (I have my donuts, yep I like to call them donuts)
6. Do I really need the GST bill? (You do if you are claiming GST credit for business, but if its for personal consumption you don't need to pay additional tax on something which is already taxed)
7. Is montsa007 even filing GST? (If you are taking it for personal consumption, you wont even know if I file my GST return, specially if you are paying in cash, there will be no way to track, I will enjoy some chips, cookies & burgers with the tax money you paid me, assuming its in cash)
Now let me draw a conclusion & you may think about it : I purchase a RAM stick from Samsung, pay for it with GST, show it as an asset in my business. Now I get someone (that's you) who wants my RAM stick, I tell you that i only take paper currency for it no UPI/Gpay/Wepay/Ipay/Paytm or DeyTM, i'll give you a fresh & crisp GST bill (In color since I'm a nice person) as orginal bill was eaten by rats in my office (We have traps but they are smart). You take the bait, I collect the cash & still show in my business books that the RAM is in my computer (since its a cash sale), I buy 1 more RAM stick for my business stating that my computer is slow & needs more speed. So on paper I have 2 RAM sticks in my computer, but in reality I have 1 RAM stick, a Playstation controller which I bought from the money you gave me & maybe a packet of chips. And for the GST return filing part, I assume you dont have a GST number, I need not bother filing the return for this sale (Since its in cash, there is no paper trail), I'll keep the entire money including taxes.
This is all under the assumption that
1. You dont have a GST number
2. Its a cash sale (Even if its in bank transfer, I can play around with HSN codes and show I sold you something which I deal in, for instance I deal in Pianos & give you a bill reading Fungus Laden RAM stick & the HSN code is linked to 1 of my Piano stock, since you don't have a GST number I can toy in the GST return filing also)
Let me know what you think, I don't like to deal with FB sellers atleast for tech things, they may sell you deep fried stuff.
I'd stay out of this deal, rest I leave it to you.
If you can get the seller arrange the original bill, can
think of proceeding, duplicate bill as as good as the old 500 rupee note which was declared as paperweight in 2016, you can cherish it, but you can't show it to anyone.

There have been so many scams going on lately.
Avoid this FB group and it's admins as they're scammers trying to bait people by posting used GPUs with unrealistic prices in other known groups.

You have no idea of the scams going on FB mate, people scam for petty amounts, GPU is a big thing.
I always follow a simple rule, if the price is too good to be true, it is.
Did you pester the seller asking the questions I mentioned above?
Did he start to sweat?
