Bills of supply and delivery challans outside e-invoicing
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
E-invoicing applies to tax invoices, credit notes and debit notes for B2B and export supplies. Bills of supply for exempt supplies and delivery challans for movement of goods are outside the IRN requirement, though an e-way bill may still be needed.
Provisions and law
- Rule 48(4), CGST Rules 2017Notified persons must upload invoice details to the IRP and get an IRN
- Notification 13/2020-CTBase notification on who must e-invoice and which entities are exempt
Analysis
A trader selling exempt goods to a business issues a bill of supply without IRN. A job work dispatch uses a delivery challan and an e-way bill, not an IRN. Make sure your software does not block these documents for want of IRN.
Conclusion
- Classify your document types
- Route only tax invoices and notes to the IRP
- Generate e-way bills for challans where needed
- Check software settings
