If the query is on considering the turnover for GST purpose, then invoice date should hold good. In the example, it should be FY 2018-19 turnover. Even for GSTR-3B / GSTR-1, invoice date would be considered.

I support the views of Sh.Mahadev R. Ji.

[DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

Invoice date is to be considered.

AI Summary

Invoice date determines GST turnover recognition, so returns and e way timing do not change the tax period.
The invoice date governs turnover recognition for GST: if an invoice is issued before the year-end, the supply is treated as turnover of that period and must be reported in returns such as GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, regardless of subsequent e-way bill generation or transport timing.
