Understanding GST E-Invoice
GST E-Invoice is not creating invoices on the GST portal, but reporting invoices generated in your accounting or billing software to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) for validation. The IRP:
- Validates invoice data.
- Generates a unique IRN.
- Digitally signs the invoice.
- Attaches a QR code for verification.
This ensures standardized data, real-time B2B reporting, and seamless GST compliance.
Why E-Invoicing Was Introduced
- Prevent Tax Evasion: Reduces the risk of fake invoices.
- Automate Compliance: Directly populates GSTR-1, saving time and minimizing errors.
- Improve ITC Matching: Accurate Input Tax Credit reconciliation between buyers and sellers.
- Standardize Data: Uniform invoice format across businesses.
- Enable Faster Refunds: Real-time reporting accelerates GST refund processing.
Essential GST E-Invoice Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| IRP | Central government portal for invoice validation. |
| IRN | Unique 64-character Invoice Reference Number for each valid invoice. |
| QR Code | Embedded barcode containing invoice details for quick verification. |
| JSON | Standardized format to submit invoice data to IRP. |
