GST E-Invoicing Software | Cancel & Amend E-Invoice
Cancel within 24 hours. Amend after, via credit and debit notes.
IRN cancellation allowed only within the 24-hour GSTN window (the cut-off is enforced). After 24 hours, corrections happen via credit and debit notes (CDNR), with full traceability to the original IRN. Both flows inline, no portal switching.

Cancellation by the rule. Amendment by the section.
GSTN allows IRN cancellation only within 24 hours. After that, Section 34 of the CGST Act governs corrections via credit and debit notes. The system enforces both rules.

Cancel & Amend E-Invoice FAQ
What buyers ask.
What if we discover an error after 25 hours?
IRN cancellation is no longer allowed (GSTN rule). The original invoice is preserved as filed. Corrections happen via credit notes (where buyer is over-charged) or debit notes (where buyer is under-charged) with the original IRN referenced. The CDNR IRN gets its own reference.
EWB cancellation. Same 24-hour window?
EWB cancellation is allowed within 24 hours of generation, before the goods are dispatched. After dispatch, the EWB cannot be cancelled; it can only expire on its own validity.
Bulk cancellation supported?
Yes. Bulk cancellation of multiple IRNs is supported within the 24-hour window per IRN. Each cancellation is captured individually with reason.
