Quick Summary
A building rental business forgot to generate an e-invoice for a rent invoice dated 1st August 2023. While one suggestion was to issue a commercial credit note and re-issue the invoice, others argued that for services like rent, an e-invoice can be generated later, potentially until the month-end, as it's not a supply of goods. There's also discussion on the 7-day e-invoice generation deadline from the invoice date, effective from May 1st, 2023, and the possibility of issuing credit notes for services under Section 34 of the CGST Act.

Is E- Invoice is applicable to your Company ?.
Yes , E Invoice is applicable
In my opinion you Can issue commercial Credit note not GST credit note for earlier Invoice and nullify earlier transaction , If you have not filed GST return , and then issue fresh E.Invoice. but check out time line to issue E.Invoice.

Take others opinion as well.
Yes, I agreed with Mr Prasad Nilugal view and reply...
No need to issue credit note..for rent e-inv can generate till month end..its not a supply of goods,hence einv can generate later also..till month end..

@ CA club Member 
If you are not issuing credit note, then how you are going to nullify earlier Invoice ?. please explain.

@ prasad nilugal
why would you issue credit note invoice,,for supply of service,the time limit to raise einvoice is 30 days,before filing of r1.

As  per  GSTN advisories  issued  on 12 th & 13 April 2023  on GSTN  portal  , time limit to issue E.Invoice is 7 days form the date in Invoice , and  advisory is  applicable  form  1/5/2023 .  As per section 34  of the CGST act one can issue credit note for supply of service as well . The words " Goods  & Services " or  both  has been used  in the section 34 of the CGST Act .
