How the engagement works
E-Invoice generation is governed by the applicable provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, CGST Rules, notifications, circulars, and procedures prescribed by the GST authorities. Specified taxpayers are required to report eligible invoices to the prescribed Invoice Registration Portal and comply with applicable requirements relating to invoice particulars, IRN generation, QR codes, reporting timelines, cancellation, and other prescribed procedures. Applicability and technical requirements may vary based on the taxpayer and transactions and should be reviewed for the relevant period.
Scenario 1: An eligible business regularly generates B2B invoices and requires professional assistance with e-Invoice generation.
Scenario 2: A company wants to verify invoice data before generating IRNs to reduce errors and rejected submissions.
Scenario 3: A business needs assistance integrating e-Invoice generation into its accounting or ERP workflow.
Scenario 4: A taxpayer wants to reconcile generated e-Invoices with GST returns and E-Way Bills.
Scenario 5: A business encounters an IRN generation error or invoice reporting issue and needs professional support.

General questions
01What is e-Invoice generation?
E-Invoice generation is the process of reporting an eligible GST invoice to the prescribed Invoice Registration Portal and obtaining an Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and applicable QR code after successful validation.
02Who is required to generate e-Invoices?
E-Invoicing applies to specified taxpayers based on the applicable turnover thresholds, nature of supplies, exemptions, and other conditions prescribed under GST law and notifications.
03What is an IRN?
IRN stands for Invoice Reference Number. It is a unique reference generated for an eligible invoice after its details are successfully reported and registered through the prescribed Invoice Registration Portal.
04What information is required for e-Invoice generation?
Required information may include supplier and recipient GSTINs, invoice number and date, HSN or SAC, taxable value, tax rates and amounts, place of supply, item details, and other prescribed invoice particulars.
05Can an e-Invoice be cancelled?
An e-Invoice may be cancelled through the prescribed process within the applicable time and subject to the relevant rules. Corrections to certain invoice details may require cancellation and generation of a fresh e-Invoice rather than direct editing.
06What happens if IRN generation fails?
An IRN may fail to generate due to incorrect or incomplete invoice data, validation issues, technical errors, or other reasons. The error should be reviewed and the invoice information corrected before attempting the permitted reporting process again.
07Can e-Invoice generation be integrated with accounting software?
Yes. Eligible accounting and ERP systems can be integrated with the e-Invoice system using applicable technical mechanisms. We can assist businesses in understanding the required invoice data and process requirements.
