In a significant move towards streamlining the GST ecosystem, the Indian government mandated e-invoicing for businesses with a turnover exceeding INR 5 crore. This rule came into effect on April 1st, 2024.
What is E-Invoicing?
E-invoicing refers to the electronic generation and transmission of invoices for Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions.
It replaces traditional paper invoices with a digital format that is integrated with the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) managed by the GST authorities.
Who is Impacted by the New E-Invoicing Mandate?
Any business registered under GST, with a turnover exceeding INR 5 crore in the previous financial year (2023-2024), must now generate e-invoices for all B2B transactions. Turnover includes the supply of goods and services.
Benefits of E-Invoicing
- Reduced Errors: E-invoicing eliminates manual data entry, minimizing errors and discrepancies in invoices.
- Faster Processing: Electronic invoices are processed faster by the GST system, leading to quicker settlements and refunds.
- Improved Compliance: E-invoices ensure a paperless and transparent record-keeping system, simplifying tax compliance.
- Real-time Tracking: Both buyers and sellers can track the status of invoices in real-time through the IRP.
How to Get Started with E-Invoicing?
There are two ways to comply with the e-invoicing mandate:
- Government GSP Portal: Businesses can register on the GST Suvidha Provider (GSP) portal and utilize their e-invoicing services.
- API Integration: Businesses with existing accounting software can integrate it with the IRP API to generate and transmit e-invoices seamlessly.
