Advisory on auto-population of e-invoice details into GSTR-1 1. Certain notified taxpayers have to prepare and issue their invoices by obtaining Invoice Reference Number (IRN) from Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) (commonly referred as ‘e-invoices’). 2. Upon successful generation of IRN, details of such e-invoices will be auto-populated in respective tables of GSTR-1. The same can be downloaded as excel file as well. 3. In case the GSTR-1 for corresponding period was already filed by the taxpayer, then, the details from e-invoices can be downloaded as excel file only.
