This query is : Resolved
31 January 2024
Dear all
My client turn over was 8Cr in F.Y 21-22 and 2Cr in F.Y 22-23
From 1st August 2023 E-Invoice is mandatory for whose turnover is more than 5Cr since F.Y 17-18
my client by mistake checked with last year turnover only that is 2Cr only
On the above reason he did not registered and generate E-Invoice
Now up to December-2023 he crossed turnover 4.5Cr and he filed GST returns with normal invoice
Now can he generate E-Invoice for above turnover bills
Please give reply/solution.

Clarification on Generating e-Invoices for Past Invoices
No Retrospective e-Invoicing Allowed — You cannot generate e-invoices now for manual invoices issued before mandatory applicability. The system only accepts submissions for invoices issued after the threshold kicks in (e.g., post-August 2023 for ₹5 crore, or post-April 2025 for ₹10 crore turnover).
30-Day Rule Is Enforced by IRP — Even invoices issued after the mandatory date must be reported within 30 days. IRP will reject invoices submitted beyond this window.
Non-Compliance Is Costly — Missed deadlines or errors in e-invoice generation can attract:
A penalty of 100% of the GST or ₹10,000 per invoice.
₹25,000 fine for incorrect e-invoice details.
Risk of goods detention if transported without valid e-invoice/IRN.
Plan Ahead—Integrate Efficiently — To avoid rejections and penalties, invest in ERP or tool-based integration for seamless e-invoice generation and timely GSTR-1/e-way bill reconciliation.
Bottom Line:
No, you cannot generate e-invoices for past invoices issued before the mandate. And even if issued after, they must be submitted within 30 days—failures attract serious penalties. Staying proactive with systems and processes is essential for compliance.
