It ensures automation and simplification of the process of filing returns. A specific format followed in e-invoicing provides a distinct<a href=\"https:\/\/irisgst.com\/invoice-reference-number-irn-in-e-invoicing-under-gst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Invoice Reference Number (IRN) <\/a>using a hash generation algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can cancel and alter an e-invoice within 24 hours. If you have entered e-invoice details incorrectly or twice, you can conveniently cancel the e-invoice. Beyond 24 hours, you have two options to correct the invoice information. You can either issue a debit or credit note to cancel the original invoice or amend the details in Form GSTR-1 to update the invoice information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can an e-invoice Be Cancelled Partially\/Fully?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One cannot consider partial cancellation or conduct the e-invoice cancellation process partially. If you need to cancel, you have to fully cancel the e-invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is the Cancellation Period for e-invoice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Cancel GST E Invoice Online New E-Invoice Features Download, Cancellation, Amendment\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6eDFhEPHcBM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cancellation of B2B transaction-based invoices can be done within 24 hours on the e-invoice IRP portal (Invoice Registration Portal). However, before submitting GST returns you can consider manual cancellation on the GST portal. Further, you cannot modify an e-invoice. You can only make changes while filing Form GSTR-1 on the GST portal. In case there is an active e-way bill, one can proceed with IRN cancellation on the IRP portal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In Which Case Can the e-invoice Be Cancelled?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the situations when you can cancel an e-invoice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Order cancellation by the buyer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>e-invoice incorrect entry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>e-invoice duplicate entry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>e-Invoice Cancellation in GST Portal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process to cancel an e-invoice varies based on the type of invoice. A single cancelled e-invoice procedure is different from that of the bulk cancellation of invoices. Let us find out how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Single Invoice Cancellation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the steps below to cancel single invoices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Visit the e-invoice portal, log in with your user credentials and navigate to the &#8216;Cancel&#8217; option on the e-invoice dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Fill in the IRN or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawinsider.com\/dictionary\/acknowledgement-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Acknowledgement Number\u2019<\/a> and click \u2018Go\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Select e-invoice, enter the \u2018Cancellation Reason\u2019 and click on \u2018Submit\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bulk Invoice Cancellation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/piceapp.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Bulk-Invoice-Cancellation-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Bulk Invoice Cancellation\" class=\"wp-image-16235\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the procedure to cancel bulk e-invoices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Visit the e-invoice portal and go to \u2018Help\u2019, then \u2018Tools\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Choose \u2018Bulk Generation Tool\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> You can now download the e-invoice Cancel by IRN &#8211; JSON Preparation Offline utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Fill in the IRN, a valid reason for cancellation and cancellation remarks and click on &#8216;validate&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Click on \u2018Prepare JSON\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Re-log in, navigate to the e-invoice section, click on \u2018Bulk IRN Cancel\u2019 and upload the JSON file that you downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>GST invoice cancellation rules <\/strong>mandate the cancellation of e-invoices within 24 hours if necessary. Remember that you cannot consider the revocation of e-invoices once cancelled. Furthermore, an e-invoice once created cannot be deleted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can identify each e-invoice with a unique IRN number which cannot be duplicated. Hence you cannot create two e-invoices with the same IRN as per the e-invoice rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-4-background-color has-background\">\ud83d\udca1If you want to pay your GST with Credit Card, then download\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=one.pice.pice_business_loan&amp;_branch_match_id=1260478299341712556&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=homepage&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8wryyxJ1SvITE5NLCjQS87P1S9PTcrIz00FAMR0ueciAAAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pice Business Payment App<\/a>.

However, you can rectify errors by issuing a debit or credit note or by amending the details in Form GSTR-1 on the GST portal. Ensure that corrections are made before filing GST returns.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1723549353454\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is it possible to partially cancel an e-invoice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, partial cancellation of an e-invoice is not allowed. If you need to cancel an e-invoice, you must fully cancel it. Any correction required after cancellation must be handled through debit or credit notes or during GSTR-1 filing.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1723549361799\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What should I do if I accidentally create a duplicate e-invoice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If a duplicate e-invoice is created, you should cancel the duplicate e-invoice within 24 hours on the IRP portal.
