Invoice for Hotel Booking on Smartbuy

[Manny@11]

Hello,

If I make a hotel booking through HDFC Smartbuy portal, will I be able to get a tax invoice for it? If yes, how do I get it?
I made a booking through Smartbuy- MMT earlier, but I cant see that booking in MMT history to get invoice for it. MMT Customer Care also was of no help as it didnt associate the booking with my number.

If someone can confirm the way to get it, I would route all my bookings through Smartbuy. Otherwise I have to continue booking directly.

I tried to search the threads for it, but didnt find anything related to this.

Done dozens of bookings via SmartBuy and don't ever remember receiving a Tax Invoice for it. I only remember getting the Order Summary.

Thanks for your response. If you had booked through cleartrip/goibibo, can you please check if the smartbuy bookings are visible in history or not?

My flights were through SmartBuy + Cleartrip and hotels were through SmartBuy + MMT. Logged in to both Cleartrip and MMT with the same mobile number and see nothing under past trips.

Once I booked an ibis through smartbuy and later in office submitted for reimbursement, they asked for an invoice.
I contacted the hotel and asked for it and they provided me the same. But during checkout when I asked for invoice, front desk said they can’t give since booking was through MMT/ smartbuy. But was strange and good that they responded with invoice on email once I asked them.

I had a small doubt -
When we use Smartbuy IRCTC, we enter our user id & password as well and naturally any booking done automatically shows up on IRCTC app as well.

Similarly, if a booking is done via Smartbuy Redbus, there is no option to login to existing Redbus account and also, the booking doesn't show up in Redbus app even after using the registered mobile number and email.

So, is there any way to link existing account of Redbus and other booking platforms to Smartbuy?

Never used smartbuy for bus booking ,only for Flights, Hotels & Trains

But i don't think so ,since as you mentioned, all train booking have to be eventually done by IRCTC only ,but same doesn't apply to others

For tax invoice give gst details while booking on smartbuy. Once you reach the hotel tell them I will need gst invoice on checkout. Confirm with them again if they received gst details, if not provide them again. On checkout they will print and give you gst invoice. Have done this numerous times on direct bookings on MMT and also on MMT via HDFC smartbuy. MMT can’t give you tax invoice, only hotel can give you that.

If we give GST details in smart buy, it is still eligible for reward points? Cause it would then become a business spend isn’t it?

No it eligible for points. I am assuming you are not booking for many other people like travel agent. Going for official work where office requires you to put gst no is fine.
