Query related to E-invoice

yes. the e-invoice to be cancelled if the vehicle number is wrong, and a new e-way bill with the corret vehicle number needs to be generated.

According to GST rules, if there is an error in the vehicle number on an e-way bill, it is not possible to directly change the vehicle number. Instead, the e-way bill needs to be cancelled and a new one generated with the correct vehicle number. This is because the e-way bill is linked to the e-invoice , and any changes to the e-way bill would require updating the e-invoice as well.

Wrong vehicle number:

• The vehicle number isn't part of the e-invoice; it's in Part B of the e-way bill. Update Part B of the e-way bill with the correct vehicle number (allowed any number of times during validity). No need to cancel the e-invoice.

A wrong vehicle number alone does not require cancelling the e-invoice. The e-invoice IRN and its details cannot be amended after generation, but the vehicle number is an e-way bill transport detail and can generally be updated in the e-way bill using Update Vehicle No. If the e-way bill itself has not yet been generated, enter the correct number when generating it.

If the mistake is in the invoice particulars—not just the vehicle number—the correction route is different; an IRN cannot be edited. Check the applicable e-way bill update window and portal status before proceeding, as these can affect whether an update is available.
