This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenge of reporting e-invoices for April and May 2021 after the initial deadline. Experts advise generating the Invoice Reference Number (IRN) as soon as possible, as the 48-hour reporting validation, currently suspended, may be reinstated. Failure to comply could lead to significant penalties and invalid invoices.

13 July 2021 Dear Experts,
We are liable for e invoicing but due to some reasons not done the same for April 2021, May 2021 and issuing the invoices to customers with accounting software only.

14 July 2021 Kindly as replied above, please generate IRN at the earliest. Because initially a date validation was introduced in the IRP portal restricting a time lag of reporting an invoice of not more than 48 hours from the date of generation of e-invoice. Currently the validation is under suspension due to the various representations received on the hardships faced by the complying entities. But they might introduce it anytime. If it happens you will not be able to report those invoices at all. In such case, non-compliance will attract huge amount of penalties applicable for non-issuance of invoice. Because your regular invoice generated from accounting software will not be treated as a valid invoice at all.
