Release note on GST e-Invoice2 portal

NIC is happy to introduce e-Invoice2 portal. It is second portal of NIC – IRP (National Informatics Centre – Invoice Registration Portal), this is in addition to the existing e-Invoice1 portal

Eligible taxpayers can register their invoices on either the eInvoice1 or eInvoice2 portals.

Once the user registration is done in eInvoice1 portal, the tax payer can use the same user credentials for both the portals and E-Way Bill portal.

Credential changes like change of password, client secret (for direct API users), forgot user name & password etc. is enabled only at eInvoice1 portal. The same will be reflected at eInvoice2 within short time.

Generation of e-Invoices on e-Invoice 2 portal can be carried out independently.

All the operations such as get e-Invoice details, cancel e-Invoice and E Way Bill by IRN as reference should be carried out on the respective portals where the e-Invoice is generated. i.e. if e-Invoice is generated on eInvoice1 portal, get details, cancellation and E-Way Bill generation referring to the IRN for that invoice has to be done only on eInvoice1 portal.

For users having direct access to APIs, only the base URL will change i.e. from api.einvoice1.gst.gov.in to api.einvoice2.gst.gov.in if they want to access e-Invoice2 APIs. There is no need to request for whitelisting the IPs separately for e-Invoice2 API system.
