Can an invoice number of a canceled IRN be used again?

No. Once an IRN is canceled, you cannot use the concerned invoice number again to generate another e-invoice/IRN (even within the permitted cancellation window). If it is used again, then the same will be rejected when it is uploaded on IRP. This is because IRN is a unique string based on Supplier’s GSTIN, Document Number, Type of Document & Financial Year.
