Explains who must e-invoice: businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore since 1 August 2023, and the rule from 1 April 2025 that businesses above ₹10 crore must report B2B invoices to the IRP within 30 days.

  • E-invoicing applies to B2B invoices and exports once turnover crosses ₹5 crore.
  • Above ₹10 crore, report each invoice to the IRP within 30 days or it cannot be validated.
  • Check the threshold every year: crossing it in any past year brings you in.
