E-INVOICE UNDER THE GST

GST e-invoice refers to the creation of a digital invoice for goods or services by a business company generated at the government GST portal. GST e-invoice has been considered for the reduction of GST evasion.

It is often misunderstood that an e-invoice is the creation of an invoice via the GST portal. The same can be used to submit/upload an ERP/ accounting software-generated invoice to Invoice Registration Portal for electronic authentication.
