A user is seeking clarification on e-invoicing procedures for goods supply. They currently issue two invoice copies: one from the e-invoice portal and a system-generated one with IRN and QR code. The query is whether it's acceptable to provide only the system-generated invoice, which is confirmed as correct practice.
We are following E-invoicing Rule from April 2021for supply of Goods.
As of today while dispatching Goods we issue two copies of Invoice to our Customer - 1) The Esign copy printed from the E-invoice Portal & 2) Our System/ Software generated (and then manually signed) copy of Invoice.
As our System/ Software is linked to the E-invoice portal, the Invoice has IRN & QR code printed on it.
My query is -
Is it Okay if we issue only our System/ Software generated copy of Invoice (having IRN & QR code printed) to Customer and do not give a Esign copy from E-invoice portal ?
