You can continue with the old bill book, but make sure that for the entire F.Y the serial number is in a unique pattern...

You can start from TI1009, and continue with that pattern if you wish to do so...

New series for tax invoice - If anyone wants to change the series for billing in the new year, then he can do that from 1st April. New numbering should be started form 1st April...... So it is not mandatory... U can continue with ur old serial no and bill book

Yes, You can start the same.

If invoice is being issued with serial number as TI1009, the same format must be maintained. You may change the format by providing a written intimating the GST department officer along with reasons for the same.
