I Think it is better to use some Prefix or Suffix with 001 for avoidance of Homogeneity in Invoices

For e.g; 001/2018-19

I think you should start form 1 , However you just go through other details in CGST rules 2017 , Chapter VI rule 46 .

AS PER RULE 46

a consecutive serial number not exceeding sixteen characters, in one or multiple series, containing alphabets or numerals or special characters hyphen or dash and slash symbolized as “-” and “/” respectively, and any combination thereof, unique for a financial year;

SO THE SERIAL NUMBER 001 U USED FOR 2017-18

SO USE DIFFERENT FOR THE F/Y 2018-19 LIKE 001/2018-19 OR 001/NVM OR 0001_NVM ETC
