Dear Vendor Partner,
As you are aware that GST Council has introduced electronic invoices (E-invoice) i.e., generation of IRN (Invoice Reference Number) through IRP (Invoice Registration Portal) along with QR Code in phased manner for reporting of Business to Business (B2B – Buyer & Seller having GST Nos.) invoices (including debit and credit notes).
• w.e.f. 1st October 2020 e-Invoicing made applicable to the taxpayers whose aggregate turnover (at PAN level) of exceeded Rs. 500 Cr.
• Now with effect from 1st August 2023, E-invoicing is made mandatory for taxpayers having aggregate turnover exceeding Rs. 5 Crore.
• The taxpayers must comply with e-invoicing if the turnover exceeds the specified limit in any financial year from 2017-18 to 2022-23 as notified in the Notification No.10/2023 – Central Tax date 10th May 2023.
If your organization is covered within the above stated turnover limit, then you should make necessary arrangements to generate IRN and QR Code on Invoice.
Please note that invoice of B2B transaction without IRN & QR code will not be a valid invoice for availing input tax credit in the hands of recipient of goods and services.
Accordingly, post 31st July 2023, Company, Will not be accepting the invoice without IRN and QR Code for the vendor partners having turnover of 5Cr & above.
We once again request you to ensure timely compliance of the above change to avoid any business disruption.
Also note that it is mandatory to provide following declaration on invoices, wherever e-invoicing is not applicable. Without declaration invoice will not be considered for further processing.
“I/We hereby declare that though our aggregate turnover in any preceding financial year from 2017-18 onwards is not more than the aggregate turnover notified under sub-rule (4) of rule 48, we are not required to prepare an invoice in terms of the provisions of the said sub-rule.”
