Clarification on Voluntary E-Invoicing

Rules 570 views 3 replies

Our company’s turnover is below ₹5 crore, so we are not covered under mandatory e-invoicing.

However, one of our customers requires IRN-based invoices, so we are planning voluntary enabling of our GSTIN for e-invoicing on the Invoice Registration Portal.

Kindly clarify:

  1. After voluntary enabling of e-invoicing, are we required to generate IRN for all B2B invoices?

  2. Or can we generate IRN only for selected invoices/customers and issue normal GST invoices for others?

Kindly confirm the correct position.

Regards,

Quick Summary
After voluntary e-invoicing enablement, IRN should ideally be generated for all B2B invoices. Selective IRN use may risk invoice validity and ITC issues for customers, though GSTR-1 reporting still reflects in 2A/2B.

After voluntary enablement, you should generate IRNs for all B2B invoices to ensure they remain legally valid; selective generation is not recommended as it may lead to ITC denials for your other customers.

 

Thanks for your reply sir,

Sir for other small customers i'll file GSTR1 manually. Won't these invoices reflect in their GSTR2A?

 

Under Rule 48(4) of CGST Rules, the requirement is framed GSTIN-level, not invoice-level. Once your GSTIN is enabled, you are effectively behaving like a “notified person”. A B2B invoice without IRN (when your system is enabled and capable) can be questioned as non-compliant with Rule 48(4) intent. If you opt in voluntarily, be ready to fully transition your B2B invoicing to IRN-based e-invoicing. If your requirement is only for one customer, consider whether you can handle that via a workaround (like a separate GSTIN, if feasible) rather than partial adoption.
