Gst invoice numbering and delivery challan numbering


This query is : Resolved 

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 I want to start gst invoicing no from 101 for financial year 2026-2027 and delivery challan no 201 for fy 2026-2027.Can I start from above nos. I purchased goods from gujrat and send goods to kolkata by my supplier to storage house.Now after goods reaching there I issued delivery challan on date of loading from gujrat and prepared outward supply e-way bill for storage. So 2 e-way bills are issued for same goods .one by my supplier and other myself for storage with same vehicle no .Is it as per gst rules . please clarify with examples?

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).

29 June 2026 What are alternative compliant logistics arrangements? Please explain with examples?

03 November 2026 Delivery Challan Series: Starting your delivery challan series from 201 for FY 2026-27 is completely valid under Rule 55, as long as it is consecutive and unique.

Risk of Duplicate E-Way Bills: Issuing a fresh e-way bill for goods already in transit under a supplier's valid e-way bill creates conflicting records on the portal and can lead to detention by intercepting flying squads.

Confidentiality Solution: To protect supplier identity from a third-party warehouse, rely on commercial agreements (NDAs) or proper Bill-to-Ship-to documentation flows rather than generating redundant transit e-way bills.
