Seeing this error? An E-Way Bill already exists for that invoice number and document date. Below are the common causes and the fixes that resolve it for most users.

Why this happens

  • A bill was already generated for the same invoice number and date.
  • You re-uploaded the same JSON without changing the document number.
  • Two users generated against the same invoice.

How to fix it

1

Search existing bills

Use the portal to check if a bill already exists for that invoice before generating again.

2

Use a unique document number

Each E-Way Bill must map to a unique invoice/document number per supplier.

3

Cancel the duplicate

If a wrong duplicate was created, cancel it within 24 hours.

Important
If the problem is on the portal side (maintenance or server load), no browser fix will help — confirm with a second network first.
