GST E-Invoicing in India (2026): Who Needs It and How It Works
E-invoicing explained — the turnover threshold, the IRN and QR code, and how to generate e-invoices automatically from your billing software.
E-invoicing means reporting B2B invoices to the government portal and getting a signed IRN and QR code back before you share the invoice. If your turnover crosses the notified threshold, it is mandatory. Here is how it works. This is general information, not tax advice — GST rules, rates and thresholds change and vary by case, so confirm specifics with a qualified professional or the official GST portal.
Who must generate e-invoices
Businesses above the notified turnover threshold must e-invoice their B2B supplies. The threshold has reduced over time, so verify the current limit on the GST portal.
What an e-invoice includes
Your normal invoice data plus an Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and a QR code issued by the Invoice Registration Portal, which authenticates the invoice.
Generating e-invoices automatically
Manually uploading each invoice is slow and error-prone. MyGroce supports e-invoicing so the IRN and QR code are generated as part of billing — no separate portal step for each sale.
