Clarification on consecutive serial number in gst invoice

Yes maintain portal wise invoice... As they generated differently in every portal... In GSTR1 give portal wise ur bill book details... Nothing wrong in that... In every portal they r in serial number

You can use multiple invoice series in gst but no one use same invoice no. in a single year.

Is there any restriction on using same invoice number in different financial year? As per my understanding Rule-46(b) of the CGST Rules states to maintain unique invoice number in 'a financial year' not every financial year. 

Further, is there any condition which requirs that serial number should always start from 1 or A ? In other words , for Financial year 2018-19 can invoice number starts from 51 as  invoice number 1-50 has been issued in FY 2017-18?

The law requires you to maintain continuous numbering for your documents and not repeat the utilized numbers in a financial year. These rules apply to all documents such as Sales Invoice, Credit Notes, and Debit Notes. However, the law permits you to have a different book series number for different nature of bill or bill of different branches within the state having same GSTIN numbers.

Its advisable use a series in a financial year... Yes u can maintain same bill no... Loke in Fy 17-18 u use bill book no 1-100 and from 18-19...just mentioned FY in ahead of ur bill no... Like 01/17-18 and 01/18-19

Dear Madam,

Can you please provide details of rule under which multiple invoices can be mentioned?

As under Rule 46 it is mentioned that  invoice series to be maintained serially and for change we have to inform to the officials.

Any Rule or notification based on that we can maintain multiple invoice without informing the officials.

 

 

100 number of gap between bill number series  then what i should what will be provision or adjustment in sales series number correction 

Please clarify, 

my client is having retail business - he has Godown and retail counter 

he is following separate serial number for Godown and retail counter.

At godown -- he is selling B2B inovice

At Retail counter -- He is selling to B2C 

My question is can we follow the above or should we maintain only one serial number
