Quick Summary

A user made a clerical error on an e-way bill, entering the wrong financial year (2019-20 instead of 2020-21) while the tax invoice number was correct. They are seeking advice on whether to amend the e-way bill or if keeping proof of the clerical mistake is sufficient, referencing a High Court view that penalties shouldn't be imposed for such errors.

As per my view no need to do anything just keep proff to prove that it is a clerical mistake. As per high court view no penalty will be impose by department due to clercial mistake.
