Facts
The e-invoicing limit has fallen in steps, from ₹500 crore in October 2020 to ₹5 crore from 1 August 2023 under Notification 10/2023-CT. A lower limit such as ₹1 crore has been discussed in reports but, as of this writing, has not been notified, so treat it as proposed only.
Provisions and law
- Notification 10/2023-CTE-invoicing for aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore in any year from 2017-18, from 1 August 2023
- Notification 13/2020-CTBase notification on who must e-invoice and which entities are exempt
Analysis
If your turnover is between ₹1 crore and ₹5 crore, you are not required to e-invoice today. Still, many such businesses choose accounting software that supports IRN, so a later change is a switch-on rather than a migration. Watch CBIC notifications and GSTN advisories rather than news reports.
Conclusion
- Check your turnover band each year
- Confirm the current limit on the CBIC notifications page
- Choose billing software that supports IRN
- Act only on a notified change, with its start date
