E Incoicing

Tax Adda 11 Jun 2026 1 min read

Definition: E‑invoicing means reporting invoice details to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), which validates and returns a digitally signed invoice with a unique IRN and QR code.
Not Government‑Generated: Businesses still create invoices in their own ERP/accounting systems; the government portal only authenticates them.
Scope: Applies to B2B supplies, exports, and supplies to SEZs.
