Sales returns e-way bill

29 March 2025

Hi,

When sales returns happen. Do we need to generate new delivery challan for e-way bill or Can we use the same sale invoice for return the goods to create e-way bill.

Regards,

Lakshman.

When sales returns happen, you can use the same sales invoice to create an e-way bill for returning the goods. You don't necessarily need to generate a new delivery challan. E-Way Bill for Sales Returns: - *Use Original Invoice*: You can use the original sales invoice number to generate an e-way bill for the return of goods. - *Select 'Return' Option*: While generating the e-way bill, select the 'Return' option and provide the necessary details, such as the reason for return and the quantity being returned. - *Reference Number*: Ensure you provide the original invoice number as the reference number. Key Considerations: 1. *E-Way Bill Rules*: Familiarize yourself with the e-way bill rules and regulations, as they may vary depending on the state or union territory. 2. *Invoice and E-Way Bill Details*: Ensure that the invoice and e-way bill details match, including the quantity, value, and tax amounts. 3. *GST Compliance*: Ensure compliance with GST regulations and maintain accurate records of sales returns and e-way bill.

Dear Sir, But In the e-way bill portal for sales returns it shows only delivery challan number not invoice number. If we create a e-way bill with the same original invoice number for sales returns. The e-way bill and invoice is not matching here.

Is it ok?? If someone verified in transit the what is our reply?
