Duplicate invoice numbers: amend identifiers or cancel and reissue invoices and e Way Bills to maintain GST compliance.
Duplicate invoice numbers from a software glitch must be corrected: an e Way Bill may be amended only within 24 hours, after which cancellation and reissuance is required; invoices not issued as e invoice/e Way Bill can have their identifier edited (for example by appending a letter), or if editing is not possible, a credit note should be issued, the incorrect invoice cancelled in the books, and a fresh invoice and e Way Bill issued. (AI Summary)
