Dear Sir,
Alteration in the invoice is not allowed and invalid. If there are changes in invoice, issue debit note for any changes but alteration with pen manually is not allowed. Also invoice should be printed one.
Thanks
We as a bankers face problem many times. If a work is allotted for a predetermined rate which will be mentioned in the invoice. Later if work is not completed to the satisfaction, amount in the invoice will be reduced by making necessary amendments with pen. How to deal with this while making payment. What precautions to be taken while making payment

It is better to record and amend the rates electronically. It's better to use some application so that errors due to amendments can be avooded
Hi
Amendment in a printed invoice by pen shall be considered invalid. However, if the amendment is duly signed and stamped, you may consider the same.
The most appropriate way would be to issue a debit note for the incorrect invoice and issue a new invoice.
You should ask for revised invoice. Issuer will issue the new invoice and cancel the existing invoice.
Hi,
Avoid making any changes with the pen on the invoice as it may make the invoice invalid.
Either ask for a fresh invoice from the vendor or issue a debit note for the differential amount. Hope that clarifies.

Dear Sir,
Get all alterations signed by the receiver of the payment and authorized by the higher authority but too much writing on the invoice by pen in itself creates doubts about the authenticity of the invoice and other things related with the invoice. There are two options
1) Option 1- Use proforma Invoice initially and later on issue final invoice after the changes. Mention in the proforma invoice under terms and conditions about the changes in rate and other alterations. Give the reference of proforma invoice in final invoice. Also attach proforma invoice alongwith final invoice for audit purpose either internally or externally.
2) Option 2- Issue the proper invoice initially and cancel it and again issue another invoice which I think is not feasible and will create confusion for all.
Thanks
Hi
Alteration and amendment with pen makes invoice invalid.
In such case it's better to issue debit note .
