Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether contractors supplying to government departments need to generate e-invoices. For businesses with a turnover exceeding Rs. 5 crore in the previous financial year, e-invoicing became mandatory from 1st August 2023 for taxable B2B supplies. However, the applicability to government departments is debated, as they may be registered for TDS (TAN-based) rather than full GST (PAN-based). The consensus leans towards e-invoicing not being required for supplies solely to government departments registered only for TDS, as this is not considered a standard B2B transaction.
For the supply to government department not registered under gst you don't need to generate e-invoice. However if you supply to any registered person then einvoicing will be mandatory
E-invoicing applies to GST registered persons whose aggregate turnover in any previous financial years (2017-18 to 2021-22) exceeded Rs.20 crore. From 1st August 2023, it applies to those with a turnover of more than Rs.5 cr.

Then the question arises here is that whether the Govt Deptt is considered as registered ( Deptt got registered on the basis of TAN not PAN)or unregistered.
