Struggling with the e-invoices mandate? Here's everything you need to know to simplify e-invoicing

GST e-invoicing in India has become mandatory for all businesses with an annual turnover of over ₹ 5,00,00,000 starting August 1, 2023. The previous threshold was ₹ 100,000,000. This is a significant step towards formalizing India’s small businesses and reducing tax evasion. With the adoption of GST e-invoicing, businesses will be better equipped to synchronize their sales data and simplify input tax credit claims, ultimately contributing to a broader GST base and greater transparency in the taxation system.

This reduces the previous threshold from ₹ 100,000,000 and aims to formalize small businesses, which form the backbone of the Indian economy.

Understanding E-invoices & the E-Invoicing Mandate

Electronic invoicing, popularly called ‘e-invoice’ is a concept in which all B2B invoices are electronically uploaded by the supplier and authenticated by the invoice registration portal (IRP) with an IRN and QR code. In turn, the IRN and QR code should be printed on the invoice by the supplier before issuing it to the buyer.

Understanding the E-invoices Mandate:

E-Invoicing mandate under GST refers to the process of electronically generating and submitting invoices to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) system for authentication and recording. E-invoicing under GST was introduced 2 years back in 2020 to facilitate automation and compliance for businesses.
