12 August 2025 Why this happens:
Same invoice number used for two different parties (Party A in e-way bill, Party B in GST returns).

Invoice numbering should be unique and consistent across all documents.

Such mismatch leads to GST portal showing discrepancies and possible ITC denial to recipient.

How to fix it for this month:
Check Your Invoice Records:

Verify whether the invoice number X was wrongly used twice for two different parties.

Identify which party is correct for invoice X.

If Party A is Correct:

Amend GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for this month to show invoice X with Party A’s details.

If already filed, issue a correction in the next month’s GSTR-1 by reversing the wrong invoice entry for Party B and reporting it correctly for Party A.

If Party B is Correct:

You need to cancel or correct the e-way bill for Party A (if cancellation window is still open).

Otherwise, generate a new e-way bill with a new invoice number for Party B.

Rectify the invoice numbering in your accounting/GST system.

No Cancellation Possible?

If e-way bill cancellation is not possible (after 24 hours), you may have to:

Raise a debit/credit note or adjust entries to correct the mismatch in the next returns.

Contact GST helpdesk for guidance on exceptional cases.

Prevention for future:
Maintain unique invoice numbering series for each buyer or month.

Ensure that the party details on e-way bill and GST invoices match exactly.

Cross-check invoices before filing GST returns.
