Multiple series of GST Invoice

ABC Ltd generally prepared GST Invoice from the Tally software for FY 2020-21, it is done by the Mr.A but due to unavailability of Mr.A, GST Invoice is prepared by the Mr. B Mr. B has no techingal knowledge for invoice creation from the tally , so he prepared invoice from the phyiscal printed GST invoice copy, but the format of printed invoice is not same as tally invoice, series number of such printed invoice is the continuation of tally invoice
Query 1:- ABC Ltd can follow this? Is any restriction in GST law
Query :- we can follow the multiple series number of invoice in the same GST registeration? Is any restriction? When multiple series of GST Invoice is allowed?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the use of multiple GST invoice series within a single business. It confirms that using different invoice series is permissible under GST law, provided that neither series is skipped or broken. For example, if one series runs from A001 to A051, a new series can begin from 0001, but subsequent invoices must continue the sequence of whichever series is being used. It's also clarified that there's no obligation to start invoice numbers from '1' at the beginning of a new financial year; custom starting points like 'AD111' are acceptable, as long as the sequence within each series remains unbroken.

1. Can be followed , but neither of series shall be skip or break in between . Eg of Tally software series is A001 started and issued till A051 then Mr B started his Series say From 0001 & have issue bill till 0060 , now if you want to issue the bill in any of the series need to be continued from its being ended last , Eg from tally you need to generate A052 & likewise followed to be in physically prepare Series.
One more doubt, it is compulsory for start the invoice number from number 1 for new financial year? we can start our choice like new invoice start from AD111?

Treat it as different series. Multiple series are allowed.

No it is not mandatory to be starting with 1. All there must be a regular sequence.

yes you can start from AD111 , but again ...shall not break/skip in mid
