What is a Proforma Invoice, and why is it essential when ordering from textile wholesalers?

Short answer

A Proforma Invoice is a preliminary bill sent by a supplier before a transaction is finalized. It details itemized product codes, set quantities, unit wholesale prices, GST, packing charges, and banking details to prevent pricing disputes.

Never make an advance wire transfer or UPI payment without holding a signed or stamped Proforma Invoice:

  • What It Secures: Guarantees that the quoted wholesale rates, catalogue numbers, and dispatch timelines cannot be unilaterally changed by the supplier after payment is received.
