GSTN issued important advisory on New e-Invoice Portal

The Goods and Services Tax Network (“GSTN”) has issued an Advisory dated February 25, 2023, on the New e-Invoice Portal.

We want to inform you that GSTN has onboarded four new IRPs (Invoice Reporting Portals) for reporting e-invoices in addition to NIC-IRP. As a result, the beta launch of a new e-Invoice portal (www.einvoice.gst.gov.in), has been done where taxpayers can find comprehensive information on e-invoice compliance in a user-friendly format, such as check your enablement status, self-enable themselves for invoicing, search for IRNs, web links to all IRP portals – all the relevant links/information in one convenient location. Taxpayers can log in to the new e-invoice portal using their GSTN credentials to select services about their GSTIN profiles.

Taxpayers may note that the portal <einvoice.gst.gov.in> is the reference site for all masters (data), news and updates, latest releases, etc. To register e-invoices and access APIs, you still need to go to <einvoiceX.gst.gov.in> sites. The URLs of IRPs sites authorized to generate IRNs as of date are as follows:

URL	URL Activation Status
<einvoice1.gst.gov.in>	Active
<einvoice3.gst.gov.in>	Shall be available soon
<einvoice4.gst.gov.in>
<einvoice6.gst.gov.in>

Also, the helpdesk for e-invoice issues, for supporting the taxpayers vis-a-vis IRP issues is available at our Grievance Redressal Portal <selfservice. system. in> where the relevant IRP can be selected using the dropdown created for each of the private IRPs.

Please note that taxpayers can continue to report e-invoices on the NIC IRP portal <einvoice1.gst.gov.in> as previously.

GSTN is committed to making your compliance journey as smooth as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
