The first issue is to establish what was actually filed in GSTR-1 for October 2024. If the invoice and e-way bill identify the correct buyer but the GSTR-1 entry identifies another GSTIN, the buyer will not get the invoice in their GSTR-2B and ordinarily cannot claim ITC on it. The supplier should correct the reported recipient details through the GST portal’s permitted amendment mechanism, if still available, and ensure the correction is reflected against the correct GSTIN. An e-way bill does not itself correct GSTR-1 or establish that the buyer’s ITC is available.
- Check the filed GSTR-1, invoice, e-way bill, delivery proof and the wrong recipient’s records. If the invoice was wrongly reported against another GSTIN, coordinate with that recipient to reverse any ITC claimed and avoid duplicate credit.
- October 2024 details are subject to the statutory GSTR-1 correction time limit: generally, the earlier of 30 November 2025 or filing the relevant annual return. Since the supplier’s GST registration was cancelled in June 2025, portal access and the availability of amendment options may depend on the cancellation status and filing history; verify these before attempting a correction.
- If the correction window has closed, do not issue a backdated or duplicate invoice. The supplier and buyer should document the transaction and obtain advice on the compliant route for correcting the tax reporting and settling the invoice. The buyer’s payment obligation is separate from whether the invoice appears in GSTR-2B, and depends on their contract and proof of supply.
