GST bill feed manually without auto populate of invoice on GST Portal

[milan bamal]

A bill for which the E-Invoice was generated on the 11th at 3 PM, i.e., on the last date of filing GSTR-1, will take around 24 hours to auto-populate on the GST portal, meaning it will reflect only by the 12th. In such a case, if we upload that bill manually in GSTR-1, we will not be able to enter the IRN details of that invoice manually, even though the E-Invoice has already been generated on the 11th.

Is It Ok

 

AI Summary

E-invoice compliance remains valid when IRN is generated on time despite GST portal auto-population delays.
Where an E-Invoice / IRN has been validly generated before the due date and time for filing GSTR-1, compliance under Rule 48(4) of the CGST Rules is duly discharged. A delay in auto-population on the GST portal is only a GSTN / IRP synchronization issue and does not affect the legal validity of the invoice or amount to non-compliance. Manual reporting of the invoice in GSTR-1 remains legally tenable, and the inability to enter IRN particulars manually is merely a technical limitation of the portal.
