What is GST E-Invoice?

GST E-Invoice does not mean creating invoices on the GST portal. Instead, it is about reporting already generated invoices to a government-designated portal, the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), for validation and registration. When you generate an invoice in your accounting or billing software, the details are sent to the IRP.

You can keep generating invoices through your existing billing or ERP system without any major changes to your workflow. The only extra step is to send the invoice details in a prescribed JSON format to the IRP for authentication.

The IRP checks the data, creates a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN), digitally signs the invoice, and attaches a QR code to it. Once the IRP verifies and signs the invoice, it becomes a valid GST e-invoice. This process ensures standardized data and facilitates real-time B2B reporting to the GST system.
