Latest Updates on E-Invoicing



Quick Summary
This article provides a timeline of recent updates regarding e-invoicing in India. Key changes include revised turnover thresholds for mandatory e-invoicing, with different dates applying for businesses exceeding Rs. 50 crores and Rs. 100 crores. It also addresses the auto-population of e-invoice data into GSTR-1 returns and advises taxpayers to file on time even if data isn't fully populated. Additionally, a waiver on penalties for dynamic QR code non-compliance for B2C invoices has been announced.

Update as on 8th March 2021

The CBIC has notified that e-invoicing will be applicable from 1st April 2021 for businesses with a turnover of more than Rs.50 crores (in any financial year from FY 2017-18 onwards).

Update as on 1st February 2021

Details from the reported e-invoices are being auto-populated in the GSTR-1 return. However, the GSTN has informed taxpayers that while pulling the e-invoice data into the GST System, details of some invoices were not getting populated into the GSTR-1. A complete data pull is likely to take some more time. Hence, taxpayers are advised not to wait for the complete auto-population of data, and instead proceed with preparing and filing of the GSTR-1, by the due date, based on the data as per their records.

Update as on 29th November 2020

The CBIC issued a notification seeking to waive the penalty imposed on non-compliance of dynamic QR code provisions for B2C invoices between 1st December 2020 and 31st March 2021, provided the eligible registered person complies with these provisions from 1st April 2021.
