What is GST Invoicing?
It refers to goods and products from one place to another and is facilitated by ‘e-Way bills’ fillings on the common GST portal. In its 35th meeting, similarly, the ST council had chosen to implement the system of e-invoicing. This applies to all specific categories of people. E-invoicing does not suggest the generation of invoices on the GST portal. If we say so, it would be a myth. Instead, e-invoicing consists of submitting the already generated invoice on the e-invoice portal that is available for common people.

What do you know about e-invoicing under GST?
‘Electronic invoicing’ or e-invoicing‘ is a system in which business-to-business invoices are validated and authenticated electronically by GSTN for further usage on the common GST portal. Under the electronic invoicing system, there is an identification number that is issued against each and every invoice by the IRP (invoice registration portal) and is managed by the GSTN (GST Network). The national informatics center inaugurated the first IRP at einvoice1.gst.gov.in.
All the information about the invoice will then be transferred to both the GST portal and e-way bill portal from this portal in real-time. This way, it will eliminate the need for data entry to be done manually while filing the GSTR-1 returns and creation of part-A of the generated e-way bills, as the information is driven directly to the GST portal by the IRP.
E-invoicing applies to whom?
The e-invoice's first phase was implemented from October 1st, 2020 for taxpayers with a collection turnover exceeding Rs.500 crore / Notification No 61/2020-Central tax and 71/2020-central tax. The e-invoicing has been increased to businesses in the next phase with an aggregated turnover exceeding 100 Crore Rupees from 1st January 2021 as per Notification No 88/2020.
The CBIC later notified via Notification no 5/2021 that from 1st April 2021 e-invoicing will be applicable for businesses with a turnover of over Rs 50 Crore. The taxpayers must obey e-invoicing if the turnover surpasses the defined limit in any financial year starting from 2017-2018 to 2019-2020. Moreover, the aggregate turnover will enhance the turnover of all GSTINs under a single PAN all over India.
However, notwithstanding the turnover, e-invoicing shall not be pertinent to the various categories of registered businessmen for now, as notified in CBIS notification No.13/2020-central tax.
