How to Register on e-Invoicing Portal in GST
e-Invoice Registration on IRP – Who should register, Steps for Registration
Under the new e-invoicing system, a taxpayer will have to generate his invoices on his own accounting/ERP system and then upload the same into the IRP i.e the government’s Invoice Registration Portal. The IRP will then generate a unique Invoice Reference Number, after which, the invoice details are transferred from the IRP to the GST portal and e-way bill portal. Therefore, it eliminates the need for manual data entry each time.
Who must register for e-invoicing?
e-Invoicing has been made applicable from 1st October 2020 for all businesses whose aggregate turnover has exceeded Rs.500 crore limit in any of the preceding financial years from 2017-18 to 2019-20.
From 1st January 2021, e-invoicing was extended to businesses exceeding the Rs.100 crore turnover limit in any of the financial years from FY 2017-18.
On 8th March 2021, the CBIC notified that businesses with a turnover of more than Rs.50 crore must also begin compliance with e-Invoicing from 1st April 2021. Thereafter, businesses with more than Rs.20 crore turnover are currently complying with this system from 1st April 2022. Soon from 1st October 2022, businesses with a turnover of more than Rs.10 crore must begin compliance with e-invoicing.
Hence, businesses that fall under the categories specified above need to register for e-invoicing. However, e-invoicing shall not be applicable to the following categories of registered persons irrespective of the turnover:
- An insurer or a banking company or a financial institution, including an NBFC
- A registered person supplying passenger transportation services
