In another step towards further digitization of the business process flow, GSTN has launched the e-invoice registration services through multiple private IRPs at the recommendation of the GST Council. Four private companies viz. ClearTax, Cygnet, E&Y and IRIS Business Ltd were empaneled by GSTN for providing these e-invoice registration services to all GST taxpayers of the country. The details of the existing and new IPRs is available at https://einvoice.gst.gov.in/einvoice/dashboard

The taxpayers now have a choice of more than one IRP (earlier being the only single portal of NIC), which they can use to register their e-invoices. This adds significant capacity and redundancy to the single e-invoice registration portal which existed earlier.

The end-to-end flow of a digitally signed e-invoice between sellers and buyers by integration with the GST system will lead to ease of compliance for the taxpayers. It will also lead to facilitation of auto-drafting and auto-populating of invoice details in the GST returns which would lead to increased accuracy, correctness of reporting of supplies and availing of ITC by the recipients of the supply.

Thanking You,
Team GSTN

E invoice registration expands taxpayer choice and system redundancy, enabling automated GST return drafting and ITC facilitation. Launch of e-invoice registration services via multiple private Invoice Registration Portals expands capacity and redundancy beyond the single government gateway. Integration of digitally signed e-invoices with the GST system enables auto-drafting and auto-population of invoice details into GST returns, aiming to improve accuracy of supply reporting and facilitate claiming of input tax credit by recipients through more reliable invoice data exchange.
