<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPossible Reasons to Cancel an E-Invoice <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There can be different reasons due to which a taxpayer can cancel an e-invoice, so we have listed the most common reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- When the recipient cancels the item or order. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- Wrong or duplicate data-entry in an e-invoice <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- Mistakes due to human error in an e-invoice <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
To tackle such scenarios, the taxpayer has the power to cancel an e-invoice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancellation of an E-Invoice on the IRP System <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) processes invoices one by one and the data of such e-invoices<\/a> on the IRP system stays not for more than 24 hours. Therefore, if you want to cancel an e-invoice on the IRP system, you need to do it within 24 hours. Moreover, it shall be noted that you cannot cancel an e-invoice partially, you need to cancel the whole e-invoice on the IRP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancellation of an E-Invoice on the GST Portal <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As we already know that you can cancel an e-invoice on the IRP within 24 hours, but you can cancel an e-invoice on the GST portal as per the GST provision. This means you can cancel an e-invoice on the GST portal any time before filing GSTR-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important Points to Note <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- You can cancel an e-invoice within 24 hours from the time it was generated on the IRP. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- In case if the above time limit exceeds you can issue a Credit note or debit note (CDN<\/a>) to nullify the invoice data <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- You can any time cancel an e-invoice on the GST Portal before filing GSTR-1. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- An e-invoice cannot be canceled once an e-way bill is generated for the same. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- You need to cancel the whole e-invoice, no partial cancellation of e-invoice is permissible. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- Once you cancel an e-invoice on the IRP or GST portal, you cannot use the same invoice number in the future to generate IRN or signed QR code<\/a>. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
