Yes, if a GST-registered business in India with aggregate turnover over ₹5 crore is re-exporting imported goods to the overseas supplier—whether due to defects or for duty drawback/refund purposes—then e-invoicing is required for the export transaction under current regulations.
E-invoicing is mandatory for all export transactions by GST-registered businesses with annual aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore in any year since 2017-18, covering goods returned to overseas suppliers, regardless of the reason for re-export.
Not generating an e-invoice can result in non-compliance penalties, delayed duty drawback/refunds, and problems with FEMA/banking documentation.

Under Section 74 of the Customs Act, 1962, duty drawback allows a refund of up to 98% of import duties paid, if goods are re-exported without use in India, typically within two years of importation. The exporter must file the shipping bill, submit required documents (including e-invoice, bill of entry, proof of duty payment), and declare intent to claim drawback.
Customs authorities verify documents, including the e-invoice, before processing the refund or drawback.
