  3. E-invoice API Specification were published on 6th in accordance with the upgraded e-Invoice standard fields. In a move Government is mandating e-invoice in India from October 2020 that was scheduled to be mandated from April 2020. Under this typical businesses with turnover of over a hundred CR are expected to enroll each of their invoices together with the government portal site and create Invoice Reference Number (IRN). The GSTN systems are set up and testing APIs were made readily available for GSPs and taxpayers . Given it had been a testing phase, changes in e-invoice API specification were expected. GSTN published updated e-invoice normal fields. E-invoice API Specifications in accord with GSTN published subjects are published. Crucial modifications in New E-Invoice API Specification and its effect When compared with the earlier API version, the newest version has significant changes concerning data fields and its own technical specification. All of the changes in API result in proximity of this e- invoice regular released by GSTN, which could get educated. The newest specifications supply E-way Bill generation which will allow auto-generation of E-way Bill, subject to supplying the applicable data. On powerful E-way bill generation, the details will be returned together with IRN and QR code Added API for creating EWB utilizing IRN continues to be supplied. In case E-way bill details Aren't supplied during creating IRN, then that brand new API may be utilized There are some validation rules worth noting Validation Rule Impact The Document Date can be yesterday or today’s date. The maximum time gap between invoice generation and getting IRN can be at most 1 day. Back-dated or IRN for earlier dated invoices will not be allowed Document number should not be starting with 0, / and -. Also, alphabets in document number should not have alphabets in lower cases. If so, then request is rejected. Revisit the invoice numbering sequence. GST Invoicing rules however do not have any such conditions.

  4. Responsibility of Invoice and IRN generation in case of reverse charge transactions for B2B, is with the supplier of such goods and services. ‘Reverse Charges’ can be set as ‘Y’ in case of B2B invoices only and tax is being paid in reverse manner as per rule. Even in the case of Reverse Charged invoices, the seller has to generate the IRN. In case the supplier is SEZ unit, then he cannot generate e-Invoice. Only suppliers can initiate IRN generation. Hence if SEZ cannot generate e-invoice, then from purchase side invoices received from SEZ will not have any IRN e-invoice(IRN) cannot be re-generated for the cancelled e-invoice(IRN) also Revisions to invoice need to managed through Debit or Credit Note. Cancellation of IRN is equivalent to cancellation of invoice, which makes the invoice void for any further actions IRN cannot be cancelled, if the Valid/Active E-way Bill exists for the same. IRN and E-way Bill are tightly integrated and taxpayers need to accordingly align their systems. IRN should not be passed as part of the request; it is generated by the e-Invoice system and sent as response. IRN will be generated by IRP only. Taxpayers systems, if are generating IRN, should not be sent to IRP Separate validation rules for bill generation are supplied. We will keep you posted on our observations and are doing impact analysis of these changes.
