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.

Yes it is compulsory from 01 August 2023 for taxable B2B supplies.
But suppy to Govt deptt is not B2B. Govt Deptt only deduct TDS has TDS no not GST No.
If Your PY turn over is above 5cr then e invoice is applicable from 01/08/2023.

In case Turn in the current year (23-24) then it's not applicable now. Portal not allowed to register under IRP portal.
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
If you are providing only B2C supplies then no need for Einvoice but if you made any B2B supplies, you have to generate E invoice

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. 

E-Invoice is mandatory to B2B, B2C, Export, SEZ

 

Govt deptt has only TAN no and on this tan he is gst TDS deductor registered not registered on the basis of PAN. B2B supply is only gst no to gst no

Not required for b2c supplies.

Yes but what you want to ask
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.
Same is considered as B2C supplies and no einvoice required
Here govt department will be considered unregistered and therefore einvoice not required in this case.
Because the department is registered as tax deductor not as a tax payer
Who told govt department is unregistered.??
cite specific sec.
