For GST e-invoicing, businesses must meet the following criteria:
Turnover Threshold: Typically, businesses with an annual turnover exceeding a specified limit (e.g., ₹10 crore in India) are required to use e-invoicing.
GST Registration: The business must be registered under GST and have a valid GSTIN.
IT Infrastructure: The business must use accounting software or ERP systems compatible with the e-invoicing system for generating and uploading invoices to the GST portal.
- Compliance and Accuracy: GST E-Invoicing ensures adherence to government regulations by standardizing the invoicing process. It reduces the risk of errors and discrepancies in invoice data.
- Real-Time Data Transmission: With E-Invoicing, invoices are transmitted in real-time to the GST portal, facilitating instant validation and reporting.
- Reduced Manual Effort: Automating the invoicing process reduces the need for manual intervention, saving time and effort.
- Enhanced Data Integrity: E-Invoicing helps maintain data integrity by ensuring that the invoice data is consistent across various stages of the supply chain.
- Efficient Tax Reporting: E-Invoicing simplifies tax reporting by integrating invoice data directly with GST returns.
- Better Audit Trail: The electronic format of E-Invoicing provides a clear audit trail, making it easier to track and verify transactions. This enhances accountability and supports effective audits.
- Compliance and Accuracy: GST E-Invoicing ensures adherence to government regulations by standardizing the invoicing process. It reduces the risk of errors and discrepancies in invoice data.

- Validation by IRP: The IRP will validate the invoice data for compliance with GST rules. If everything is in order, the IRP will generate an Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and a QR code.
- Receipt of E-Invoice: The IRP will return the validated invoice along with the IRN and QR code to the supplier. This e-invoice will also be sent to the buyer’s GST portal.
- Integration with GST Returns: The e-invoice data will automatically flow into the GST return forms, reducing manual data entry and reconciliation efforts.
- Compliance and Record Keeping: Ensure proper record-keeping of e-invoices for audit purposes. The QR code and IRN should be available for verification and compliance checks.
