Gst invoice numbering and delivery challan numbering

This query is : Open

Quick Summary

GST invoice and delivery challan numbering can start from any unique consecutive number, such as 101 and 201, each financial year. Avoid issuing two e-way bills for the same movement. If supplier details must remain confidential, consider alternative compliant logistics arrangements.

28 June 2026 You may start a new, consecutive series (e.g., 101 for invoices) at the start of a financial year, provided it remains unique for that year and adheres to the 16-character limit. Avoid generating multiple e-way bills for the same movement. Only one valid e-way bill is required per consignment movement; if the supplier has already generated one for the transit, a second is not necessary and may cause compliance issues. Ensure the existing e-way bill details match the actual transit (vehicle, destination).
