How To Register For E-Invoicing?

How to register for E invoice?

E invoice meaning is an invoice that is issued, transmitted, received, processed and stored electronically using specific document formats. 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 e 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.

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 e-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.

• Insurers, Banking company or a financial institution, including an NBFC,
• Registered person supplying passenger transportation services,
