Sorry sir but i didn't understand what you want to say.What changes i can make to 2A? I have uploaded wrong invoice number.My invoice number was 12 but i entered it as 38 by mistake in my may 2018 gstr 1 return and filed it.All other invoice details like amount,tax,date etc were correct.Now when i am uploading the original invoice 38 in june 2018 return,the system is not accepting ot saying that invoice 38 already exists in may 2018 return which is true.Now how can i change the invoice number after i have filed the return.Plz reply.

The simplest way of doing it is mention 38a for the correct invoice. And correct the wrong invoice number in the next month. Because if you do both in this month the system will say that number is already existing .

Another participant endorsed this approach. The user clarified their issue, explaining the error involved entering invoice number 38 instead of 12, which led to a system conflict when uploading the correct invoice.
