Everything a business needs for E-invoicing under GST

E-invoicing is an electronic system for the generation of invoices that have been integrated with the GST portal. It is a part of the government's effort to simplify the invoicing process for businesses and to bring in more transparency in the GST regime. Here is everything that a business needs for e-invoicing under GST:

1. Registration: All businesses with a turnover of more than Rs. 50 crores in the previous financial year are required to register for e-invoicing.

2. Electronic Invoice Registration: Once the business is registered, it needs to get an Electronic Invoice Registration (EIR) from the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). This will enable the business to generate e-invoices.

3. Compatibility: Businesses need to ensure that their billing systems are compatible with the e-invoicing system. They need to have the necessary software and hardware to generate e-invoices.

4. Changes in Invoicing: Businesses need to make changes in their invoicing systems to comply with the e-invoicing requirements. They need to include additional details in their invoices, such as the IRN (Invoice Reference Number) and QR code.

5. Integration: Businesses need to integrate their invoicing systems with the e-invoicing system through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or other modes.

6. Validation: Once an e-invoice is generated, it needs to be validated by the IRP. The validation process ensures that the e-invoice is accurate and meets the e-invoicing requirements.

7. Generation of QR code: The e-invoice must contain a Quick Response (QR) code that contains important details of the invoice, such as the supplier's GSTIN, invoice number, date, and total amount.

8. Compliance: Businesses need to ensure that they comply with all the e-invoicing requirements and guidelines. They need to ensure that they generate e-invoices for all their transactions and maintain proper records.
