A standardized electronic invoicing system under GST in India where invoices are authenticated by the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) before being issued.

glossaryTermPage.sections.howItWorks

e-Invoicing doesn't mean generating invoices online — it means getting invoices validated and registered on the government's Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). The IRP assigns a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and digitally signs the invoice with a QR code. e-Invoicing is mandatory for businesses above ₹5 crore turnover and automates GSTR-1 filing, reduces errors, and enables real-time tax compliance.

A manufacturer with ₹10 crore turnover generates an invoice in Laabam.One ERP. The system automatically sends it to the IRP, receives the IRN and QR code, and embeds them in the PDF — all in seconds.

Who must comply with e-invoicing?

As of 2024, businesses with annual aggregate turnover exceeding ₹5 crore must generate e-invoices for all B2B supplies. The threshold has been progressively lowered from ₹500 crore in 2020.

Can e-invoices be cancelled?

Yes, within 24 hours of generation on the IRP. After 24 hours, you must issue a credit note instead. Cancellation must also be reflected in your accounting system.
