Who Must Generate E-Invoices

Businesses crossing notified aggregate turnover limits must generate e-invoices for B2B and export transactions through the Invoice Registration Portal. Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and QR code become mandatory fields for validity under GST rules.

IRN Generation Workflow

Invoice data is sent from ERP or accounting software to IRP, which validates schema, de-duplicates invoice hash, and returns IRN with digitally signed QR code. Once accepted, details are pushed to GST systems for return integration. Proper master data quality is critical to avoid rejection.

Implementation Tips

Tax Suvidha Kendra helps businesses configure ERP mappings, validate schema fields, and set error monitoring dashboards. This reduces failed invoices and ensures return reconciliation remains clean month after month.
