Quick Summary

A user issued a GST bill in 2019-20 and paid the GST, but the customer never received it. Now that the customer is willing to pay, the user wants to know if they can issue a credit note and a fresh bill. Advice suggests that issuing a credit note for a past financial year is not possible, and the opportunity to claim credit for the old bill has also lapsed. The user is seeking the best alternative to receive payment, considering a fresh invoice.
