New invoice series for 2019-20

Hi Members

Please clarify me in the below question.

GST rule 46 implies that with the start of new financial year 2019-20 a new invoice series, unique for the financial year is to be started by the GST taxpayers.

So if some business has invoice series in 2018-19, say from 1 to 1000, then it can start new series from invoice no. 1 again wef 1.4.2019 or it can continue with 1001.

Yes... You (Taxpayer) can continue from 1001. No more restrictions...

Advisable is Better to start new series but not again same numbers in any of the next/current year...

So it is better to start with 1001 and not with 1 again in 2019-20.

No No...😇😇😇


Start from 1. But, it will be different from previous year 1...

like suffix /19-20, as 1/19-20....
--> 1/20-21
--> 1/21-22....
Yes can start frm any number
Shud be uniques for that year

Dear harshit,

 

Please make more clear that Invoice series Issue.

Do you want to say, we shall not issue invoice of same series/no. which is of previous year.

For Say 1 to 1000 no. had been issued by One party in Financial Year 2018-19. For Financial year 2019-20, we have to differentiate the series by quoting 2019-20( for say) or we can start again simply 1 to next bill series?

 

Further If we have to change by quoting 2019-20 then

My question is:-

A party has issued invoices having same series as previous year for Whole april month, Now what should they do to correct it?

 

Please reply as soon as possible.
