If the invoice is few weeks apart from the ewaybill is there a complication. The invoice was made in advance to get the payment due to request of client and we have charged GST. But the material is still lying with us awaiting payment. Can we make Ewaybill on this same invoice after few weeks?
Will there be any complications?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a common query regarding the date discrepancy between a Tax Invoice and an E-way Bill. The user issued a Tax Invoice with GST charged in advance for client payment, but the goods haven't shipped yet. The core question is whether an E-way Bill can be generated later for the same invoice without complications. The advice given suggests that for advance payments, a proforma invoice is generally recommended over a tax invoice, but generating an E-way Bill later is permissible.
