Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether the same invoice number can be used in a new financial year under GST regulations. While some rules suggest unique numbers per financial year, others indicate that reusing numbers across different financial years is permissible, provided the invoice dates are distinct. However, it's generally advised to avoid reusing invoice numbers to maintain clarity and prevent potential confusion.

Yes why not
No
According to Rule 46(b) of CGST Rules of 2017 we cannot issue same invoice no as previous year issued
In rule 46(b) it is given for same financial year not for next so u can issue same invoice number in next financial year
Yes, same invoice number can be issued in different financial years. In gst we have to issue unique invoice number for the financial year not for the whole business life.
My suggestion is that :
Dont issue same invoice number.
Same invoice number can be issued in next financial year provided date of invoice is not the same.
