If same is a composite supply and if principal supply involved is 'goods', then, tax-invoice for goods (i.e. principal goods) supplied (along-with gst as & if applicable) needs to be raised.

As you are aware, for zero-rate supplies, one has option not charge GST but export the same without payment of taxes under letter of undertaking.

These are ex facie views of mine, the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion.

Need more inputs- Whether the product manufactured is separately marketable without the software? and Whether the software is separately marketable without the product? if not, In my opinion there is only single product (goods) and thus, only a single supply.

If not, then one has to examine whether the two independent supplies are naturally bundled in ordinary course of business or not. if they are natural bundled, then its a composite supply.

Dear Sir,

It is a composite supply and a single invoice is required.

What is the relevance of this query? Either way it is an export. More factual clarity and reason for query would help to provide specific inputs.
