Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies bill numbering practices following the end of the financial year. While it's common to start a new series (e.g., 768) for easy identification, it's not mandatory. You can continue your existing sequence (e.g., 767) as long as each bill number remains unique and no duplicates are issued. The choice ultimately rests with you.

Usual practice is to use new number at the beginning of every FY for easy identification purpose.

As I understand, it is not mandatory and you may continue the existing series if you wish to. Just ensure that the numbers are unique (i.e. no duplication)
