GSTN notifies on enabling of e-invoice portal



Quick Summary
The GST Network (GSTN) has announced that the e-invoice portal is now enabled for more taxpayers. Businesses with an aggregate turnover of Rs. 500 crore or more from the 2017-18 financial year onwards are now listed on the portal. Taxpayers can check their enablement status online. If a business is required to use e-invoicing but isn't enabled, they can request enablement through the portal. Conversely, if a business is enabled but doesn't need to use e-invoicing, they can notify GSTN.

Update regarding enabling on e-invoice portal (https://einvoice1.gst.gov.in/)

This is with reference to the requirement of certain taxpayers to prepare invoice in terms of Rule 48(4) of CGST Rules (e-invoicing).

As a facilitation measure, all the taxpayers who were having aggregate turnover of Rs. 500 Cr. (from 2017-18 onwards) were enabled on e-invoice portal https://einvoice1.gst.gov.in/. The listing is based on GSTR-3B data, as available in GST System.

One can search the status of enablement of a GSTIN on e-invoice portal: https://einvoice1.gst.gov.in/ > Search > e-invoice status of taxpayer

In case any registered person, is required to prepare invoice in terms of Rule 48(4) but not enabled on the portal, they may request for enablement on portal: ‘Registration -> e-Invoice Enablement’.

In case any registered person, who doesn’t have the requirement to prepare invoice in terms of Rule 48(4) but still enabled on the e-invoice portal, the same may be brought to the notice at support.einv.api@gov.in so that necessary action can be taken.
