The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has released an advisory concerning the automatic population of e-invoice details into GSTR-1. Taxpayers who are mandated to generate e-invoices must report their invoice data to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). Successful reporting generates a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN), and this data is then electronically transmitted to the GST system for auto-population into the relevant GSTR-1 tables.
i. Generation of e-invoice is mandatory for certain class of taxpayers, as notified by the Government. These taxpayers are required to prepare & issue their e-invoices by reporting their invoice data in the prescribed format (e-invoice schema in FORM GST INV-01) and reporting the same on the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). Invoices reported successfully on the IRP are given a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN). The documents (invoices, debit notes, credit notes) reported on the IRP are then transmitted electronically to the GST system and are auto-populated in the respective tables of GSTR-1.
