Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for GST invoice numbering, particularly concerning unique series for each financial year. It confirms that invoice numbers must be unique within a financial year, meaning a number like 'R001' cannot be repeated in the same FY. However, the same sequence can be restarted in a new financial year. The presence of special characters like a slash ('/') also distinguishes invoice series between different financial years.

Yes it's unique series. In term of Rule 46(b) it should be unique for Financial Year.
for Example in 2020-21 If Serial no. R001 is started it cannot be repeated in Fy , but same can be again started from 2021-22
Yes it is a unique series
That means for example invoice number for FY 2019-20 is BR12019-20 and invoice number for FY 2020-21 is BR1/2019-20, each of this invoice are unique, am i right? main diffrence two this series there is special character slash("/")

Yes that is correct ..................
