Wrong Invoice Number in Form C

[Asked by Guest]

We have issued the Form C to our supplier and supplier invoice contains 12 Digit number, erroneously for few invoices we have entered only last 5 digits and issued the Form C.

The value and the date is in line with the invoice and has no Error.

Now the dealer is asking for the complete invoice number in place of partially entered.

Kindly advise on above matter that is the invoice number so important for the Form C.

It is a curable defect/mistake and can be rectified. Yes, Invoice no is important for issuance of Form C.

Thank you Mr. Pradeep

As the Form C is generated online we have No option for Rectification of uploaded details.Thanksand Regards

Dear Srikanta,

In this scenario you may approach to the Jurisdictional VAT/CST Authority for getting it cancelled or rectified, accordingly. Law allows to rectify such typo mistakes/errors.

AI Summary

Invoice number accuracy: typographical errors on Form C are curable; approach the tax authority for rectification.
Recording only part of an invoice number on Form C is a curable clerical defect; the invoice number is material and typographical mistakes may be corrected. If the online Form C cannot be edited, the taxpayer should approach the jurisdictional VAT/CST authority to obtain cancellation or formal rectification and, where appropriate, reissue a corrected Form C under the authority's administrative procedures.
