If you select No, the cancellation details will remain in the voucher but you cannot proceed with the cancellation of the e-Invoice.

In all the above scenarios, the vouchers will not get cancelled or deleted in TallyPrime.

You can update cancellation details for your e-Invoices from the e-Invoice report, using the F10 (Cancel IRN) option.

If you are working on TallyPrime Release 6.2 or earlier versions, you can follow the below-mentioned steps to cancel the e-Invoice.

Sometimes, you may need to cancel an IRN/e-Invoice after it’s generated, such as when item rates change or an order is cancelled. As per regulations, this must be done within 24 hours of IRN generation.

Step 1: Cancel e-Invoice in TallyPrime

  1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select e-Invoice > press Enter.
    Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > GST Reports > e-Invoice > press Enter.

  2. Drill down from the IRN generated from e-Invoice system section to open the e-Invoice – Voucher Register screen.
  3. Select the voucher for which e-invoice needs to be cancelled, and press F10 (Cancel IRN).

    Press Ctrl+F10 (Mark as Cancelled) when the e-invoice is cancelled through some other medium on IRP, and you want to update the status in TallyPrime. When you mark the IRN as cancelled, then this invoice will appear in the Marked as IRN Cancelled section under IRN Cancelled, instead of the For IRN Cancellation section under Pending.


    1. Select the Reason for cancellation and enter the Remarks.
    2. As always, press Ctrl+A to save the details.
      The voucher will move to the For IRN Cancellation section under Pending.

Step 2: Update Cancellation of e-Invoice on Portal

  1. Press Alt+Z (Exchange) > Send for e-Invoicing.
    In the Send for e-Invoicing screen, you can view the transactions that are pending for generation and cancellation.

  2. Select the required transaction and press S (Send) to send the details.
    If you press without selecting any transaction, then all the transactions will be sent for e-invoicing.Note: If you are using the multiple GST registrations feature in TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later versions and e-Invoicing is applicable in more than one GST registrations, then you can select the vouchers that are ready for IRN Generation and Cancellation.
    A confirmation screen will appear, with the number of transactions lined up for IRN generation and cancellation.


    If you are using the multiple GST registrations feature in TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later versions, then you will be able to view the total number of vouchers for IRN generation and cancellation from all GST registrations.
  3. Press Enter to continue.
  4. Specify the details in the e-Invoice Login screen, and press Enter.

    The Exchange Summary will appear after the cancellation is completed, and you can view the number of e-Invoices that are cancelled.

The vouchers will now move to the IRN cancelled from e-Invoice system section in the e-Invoice report.
