What is E-Invoicing?
- E-Invoicing or Electronic Invoicing is a system in which B2B invoices are electronically sent to other parties by GSTIN.
- Under the e-invoicing system, an identification number will be issued against every invoice by the Invoice Registration
Portal (IRP) to be managed by the GST network(GSTIN). - All the information will be transferred from this portal to both the GST portal and the e-way bill portal.
- The registration is required because through the registration IRN no should be given to the person.
- A tax invoice will not be considered valid if IRN is not mentioned on it, as IRN no is mandatory.
- The Invoice Registration Portal will generate IRN no and send it back to the taxpayer, who print this no on his tax invoice.
