RG23 Register Numbering Sequence

[Gautam Jivrajka]

Dear Sir,

We are Central Excise Registered Dealers.

Current Operating System - Tally ERP - No Manual Register is maintained.

Our Querry

A- After Completion of the financial year the purchase voucher and sales invoice numbers start from 1 but the RG23 number continues with out being reset from 1. As per excise department is this acceptable or should we get the same rectified

B- For booking of multiple purchase items purchased under single invoice we add a alphabet against the RG23 number . Example 2 items booked under single invoice and original RG number allocated by tally system is 1 for booking the 1st item than we make the RG number for second item as 1A. We request you to kindly clarify is the same allowed as per the department or we are making an error. Incase it is an error what can be the probable penalty under the same.

Hope you find the above in order.

Regards

Gautam Jivrajka

Three respondents advised that while RG23 registers are no longer statutory, starting new serial numbers at the beginning of each financial year is recommended. They also suggested maintaining a continuous serial number without alphabetic suffixes for multiple items on a single invoice to ensure clarity and compliance.
