We have issued one Invoice in the month of Feb'25. Now In the month of end of March we want to isuue a credit note to the customer . But in the time GAP receipent has surrenderred his GST registration..

At the time of e_invoice ( for credit note ) QR code and IRN are not getting generated .

How can we incorporate QR code and IRN

Quick Summary

If the recipient GST registration is cancelled after the original invoice date, IRN and QR code generation for a credit note may fail on the e-invoice portal. In such cases, verify GST status, reporting requirements, and portal validation rules before issuing the credit note.

When issuing a credit note for an invoice issued before the recipient surrendered their GST registration, you'll face challenges generating the QR code and IRN for the e-invoice.

Solution: 1. *Manual Entry*: You can manually enter the details of the credit note in the e-invoice portal, without generating a QR code or IRN.

2. *Partial QR Code*: You can partially fill in the QR code details, excluding the recipient's GSTIN, as it's no longer valid.

3. *Exemption Certificate*: Obtain an exemption certificate from the recipient, stating that they've surrendered their GST registration. This certificate will help you generate the e-invoice without a valid GSTIN.

4. *Consult GSTN Helpdesk*: Reach out to the GSTN helpdesk for guidance on generating the QR code and IRN for the credit note.
