Quick Summary
A user mistakenly entered the same invoice twice in their GST 1 filings for August and September, leading to double payment of GST. They are seeking advice on how to rectify this error. Suggestions include amending the duplicate invoice to zero value in the subsequent month's GSTR-1 filing or potentially issuing a credit note. The confusion arose due to a change in invoice number formatting.

Hi Vishal, Any of the above two b2b invoices can be amended to zero value invoice...
@ Vishal ,

Generally same invoice number in a financial year will not be accepted twice by GST Portal while adding invoices in GSTR-1.


If at all accepted then you may amend the invoice in the subsequent months.

Refer last Table in GSTR-1 for amendment of invoices
If it repeated ,u may claim excess ITC with it output ,so blocked same next month,and file refund application after amentment period.

Amend the invoice in the next month GSTR 1.

Further, please check whether the invoice number has been mentioned same in both the month Aug & Sept 2021. 

Although it is not possible that same outward supply details accepted by portal twice, but even if it really happend, you can amend the extra invoice in next period by showing it as 0-0. 

Actually the invoice number format was changed . This created confusion. Ex: 41/0821 v/s 410821.

Someone suggested to pass Credit Note in GST1. 

wanted 2nd opinion about that.
