Wrong Eway Bill

[Guest]

Dear Experts,

Request your advice...

We raised an e way bill on 3rd Oct for a shipment of material from Delhi to Maharashtra. We made part A and transporter entered vehicle details and made part B.

Material reached Maharashtra on 9th Oct.

But, today we discovered that tax invoice was from our 'X' firm and e way bill was wrongly made from our 'y' firm.

Now, what to be done now to avoid any complication in future?

Best Regards,

E-way bill can be cancelled within 24 hours. And e-way bill to be generated before movement of goods.

Dear Mr.Punnu,

In your case, what you did is a bonafide mistake and your motive was not to avoid any taxes. You may immediately approach your jurisdictional GST officials seeking their permission to pay the GST with interest and apply for refund of GST which was paid on behalf of 'Y' Firm.

THERE IS NO QUESTION OF REMITTING TAX AGAIN OR CLAIMING REFUND. THE TAX INVOICE HAS BEEN RAISED BY THE CORRECT SUPPLIER, WHO IN DUE COURSE WILL FILE GSTR 3B & GSTR-1. THE ISSUE IS THE E-WAY BILL WAS RAISED BY AN ASSESSEE WHO HAS NOT SUPPLIED THE GOODS OR RAISED AN INVOICE, WHILE THE ACTUAL SUPPLIER DID NOT RAISE THE e-WAY BILL.

INFORM THE JURISDICTIONAL OFFICER IMMEDIATELY OF THIS COMPLICATION UNDER ACK. SO THAT LATER NO PENAL ACTION IS TAKEN. LUCKY, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED IN TRANSIT AS OTHERWISE DUE TO MISMATCH OF INVOICE AND E-WAY BILL PENALTY WOULD HAVE BEEN LEVIED,

AI Summary

E-way bill cancellation deadline demands prompt notification to tax authorities and corrective return filing to avoid penalties. Incorrect generation of an e-way bill by a different firm than the supplier creates a documentation mismatch that must be addressed promptly. E-way bills must be generated before movement and may be cancelled within twenty-four hours; if cancellation is no longer available, notify the jurisdictional tax officer under acknowledgement, ensure the correct supplier records the supply in its returns, and coordinate any payment-with-interest and refund steps if tax was paid by the unintended firm.
