This discussion clarifies a common GST query regarding discrepancies between invoice dates and e-way bill dates. It confirms that it is permissible for an e-way bill to be generated up to 20 days after the invoice date, even if the goods are collected later from the seller's godown. No specific mention is required on the invoice regarding the goods being in the seller's possession.
