Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India is a system that facilitates the generation of invoices in a standardized electronic format and their direct transmission to the GST portal. Introduced by the Government of India to streamline the invoicing process and enhance tax compliance, e-invoicing aims to automate the generation and exchange of invoices between businesses and tax authorities.

Here’s an overview of the e-invoicing system under GST:

  1. Applicability:
    • E-invoicing is applicable to specified categories of taxpayers based on their aggregate turnover in the previous financial years.
    • Initially, it was implemented for businesses with an aggregate turnover exceeding ₹500 crore. The threshold was gradually reduced, and as of January 2022, it applies to businesses with an aggregate turnover exceeding ₹20 crore.
  2. Generation of E-invoice:
    • Under the e-invoicing system, businesses generate invoices in their internal ERP/accounting systems in a specified standard format, known as the ‘Schema.’
    • The e-invoice is generated with a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and a Quick Response (QR) code containing key details of the invoice.
    • Once the e-invoice is generated, it needs to be uploaded to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), which validates the invoice details and issues the IRN.
  3. Validation and Authentication:
    • The IRP validates the invoice data and checks for any errors or inconsistencies. If the data is found to be accurate, the IRP generates the IRN and digitally signs the e-invoice.
    • The digitally signed e-invoice with the IRN is then sent back to the taxpayer for further processing and issuance to the recipient.
  4. Integration with GST Portal:
    • The details of the e-invoice, along with the IRN, are automatically populated into the GST returns filed by the taxpayer.
    • This integration ensures real-time reporting of invoice data to the GST portal, reducing the need for manual data entry and minimizing errors.
  5. Benefits:
    • E-invoicing streamlines the invoicing process, reduces manual intervention, and enhances the accuracy and reliability of invoice data.
    • It promotes transparency, reduces tax evasion, and facilitates seamless exchange of invoice data between businesses and tax authorities.
    • E-invoicing also enables faster processing of input tax credit (ITC) claims and improves compliance with GST regulations.

Overall, e-invoicing under GST represents a significant step towards digitization and automation of tax processes, contributing to the ease of doing business and the overall efficiency of the indirect tax system in India.
