E-Invoicing under GST is a mandatory requirement where the supplier reports all business-to-business (B2B) invoices electronically on the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) and is authenticated by the portal. Once the reported invoice is validated by the portal, that invoice is assigned a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN). There is no requirement to report B2C transactions on the Invoice registration portal (IRP), i.e., an E invoice is not required for B2C transactions.
It is important to note that the IRN (Invoice Reference Number) is different from the invoice number generated by the supplier. Every supplier can generate an Invoice number in a different format as per the accounting system. Invoice Reference Number (IRN) is a 64-character unique hash generated by the IRP, ensuring the invoice is legitimate and verified.
The government implemented the e-invoicing system in a phased manner to give businesses adequate time to prepare their accounting software and systems for compliance. :

Phase 5 | 1st October, 2022 | Rs. 10 Crore |
Phase 6 | 1st August, 2023 | Rs. 5 Crore |
