GST & Compliance
E-Invoice
Electronically authenticated B2B invoice with an IRN and QR code generated through the GSTN Invoice Registration Portal.
What it means
E-invoicing requires businesses above the prescribed turnover threshold to upload their B2B invoices (including credit and debit notes) to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) before issuing. The IRP validates the invoice, assigns a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN), digitally signs it, and returns a QR code that must be printed on the physical/PDF invoice.
Only invoices with valid IRN are considered legally compliant — they auto-populate the supplier's GSTR-1, the recipient's GSTR-2A/2B, and the e-way bill system. The turnover threshold has progressively lowered from ₹500 crore (2020) toward ₹5 crore and below.
How Easedesk handles E-Invoice
