A.Dear Client,
Taxpayers will not be allowed to cancel an e-invoice once 24 hours have elapsed after the issuance of the said e-invoice. The e-invoice portal does not allow for amendment of e-invoices either. A taxpayer will either have to issue a debit note or modify/cancel such e-invoice on the GST portal. Tax-payer should issue credit-note u/s 34 and there-after, issue fresh E-invoice showing correct particulars including IGST payable. If any query is raised by Dept., tax-payer can explain entire sequence of events so as to satisfy Dept's concerns. Create a new, accurate invoice with the correct customer details (Customer A). Make a clear reference the original invoice number and the reason for the revision. Issue a credit note to Customer B to reverse the incorrect invoice. Delete or amend the original entry in your GSTR-1 for the incorrect invoice. We hope that our response is helpful to you.

A.Dear Client,
A GST invoice is an electronic document generated when goods or services are exchanged. Sometimes, billing errors or changes in circumstances require correction. This requires invoice revisions, which must be reported on the monthly return. On the other hand, Supplementary invoices rectify deficiencies in original tax invoices under GST. The following steps may be opted to amend the GST invoice. 1. Determine the need: Determine whether any invoices issued prior to obtaining GST registration need correction. 2. Submit revised invoices: Once identified, submit revised invoices for all such invoices within one month of receiving the registration certificate. 3. Include mandatory details: Ensure the GST revised invoice format includes essential details such as the supplier's name and address, the Supplier's GSTIN, the Nature of the invoice (e.g., "Debit Note," "Credit Note," "Revised Invoice," or "Supplementary Invoice" Invoice serial number, Invoice date, Recipient's name, address, and GSTIN, Details of unregistered recipients, Original invoice serial number, Differential tax amount or taxable value, Authorized person's signature, Use of credit notes. You should consult with a tax consultant or CA for further clarification on the subject and for steps to navigate the issue in the right way..
