How To Register For E-Invoicing?

Taxpayers who have an annual aggregate turnover of above INR 100 crores in any financial year since 2017-18 have to implement the e-Invoicing mechanism mandatorily for their B2B invoices. Furthermore, for taxpayers having turnover between INR 50-100 crores, Sandbox testing has been enabled. That means this bracket of taxpayers will also have to implement e-Invoicing soon.

In this article, we will discuss about:

E-Invoicing Eligibility Check

Taxpayers can check their eligibility for e-Invoicing on the government portal or through Masters India’s ‘E-invoice status of GSTIN’ tool.

To check the status through the Government Portal, you can visit –  https://einvoice1-trial.nic.in/Others/EinvEnabled

Here, add the GSTIN and captcha. Click on ‘Go’ to proceed.

The e-Invoicing status will be then displayed.

To check the e-Invoicing status without captcha and with a single click, you can use Masters India’s ‘E-Invoice Status Of GSTIN’ tool here – https://www.mastersindia.co/e-invoice-status-gstin/

Here, all you have to do is, add the GSTIN and click on ‘Search’.

With a single click, the e-Invoicing status of the entered GSTIN will be displayed.

Where To Register For E-Invoicing?

GST registered taxpayers who have to generate IRN (businesses with turnover more than INR 100 crores in any financial year since 2017-18) can register for e-Invoicing on the trial portal with their GSTIN. On the other hand, if a taxpayer is already registered on the e-Way bill portal, he/she can use the EWB login credentials for logging in to the e-Invoice portal. In other words, such taxpayers do not have to re-register on the e-Invoice portal.

Note:

Irrespective of the annual turnover, e-Invoicing is not applicable to the following Taxpayers:

• Insurers, Banking company or a financial institution, including an NBFC,
• Registered person supplying passenger transportation services,
• Goods Transport Agency (GTA),
• Registered person supplying services by way of admission to the exhibition of cinematographic films in multiplex screens,
• An SEZ unit.
