Two e-way bills for one invoice, one not cancelled:
• If you couldn't cancel the duplicate within 24 hours, it remains on record. There's no tax effect (e-way bills don't create liability). The invoice and GSTR-1 determine tax.
• Keep evidence of a single movement (one vehicle, delivery proof). If the department queries, explain the duplicate as a clerical error.
• From 2019, the system generally blocks duplicate EWBs for the same document number and GSTIN. A duplicate usually happens through a different document type or user.
