WRONG GST NUMBER MENTIONED IN GSTR-1 RETURN.

[SANJEEV JADHAV]

Dear Sirs, My query is regarding how to amend GST number in GSTR-1 return. Our customer has two units, one is in SEZ and another unit is regular unit. During Dec-2018 and Feb-2019, we have raised some of the invoices on their regular unit by charging IGST 18%. On due date when we received payment they have given payment by deducting IGST amount and informed us that you have raised invoices on wrong unit and required the same on SEZ. They insisted for revised invoice and accordingly we have revised invoices by correcting address and GST number and sent it to party. But while amendment in GSTR-1 return, portal does not allow us to change GST number. How we can sort this issue, as we have already paid IGST. Our customer is stating you can go for refund. Is refund possible ? Hoping your suggestion in this regard.
