NIC Einvoicing Highlights

The National Informatics Centre (NIC) developed the E-invoice System to digitize invoice generation and processing for businesses. The system allows businesses to generate invoice reference numbers (IRNs) through direct API integration or via a GSP. Over 130 crore e-way bills have been generated since the launch of the linked E-Way Bill system. APIs for the E-invoice System were made available on a sandbox in August 2020 and moved to production on October 1, 2020 for mandatory IRN generation.

Modes of e-invoice generation
Offline Facility - Bulk Upload Tool
In this, tax payer prepares and uploads the file containing
the multiple IRN requests and e-invoicing system will process
each one of them and return the IRN for all as applicable

Direct API integration


This is direct method of tax payer system requesting for IRN
and e-invoicing system will return the IRN

API Integration through GSP


In this case, the tax payer system will route the request for
IRN through GSP and e-invoicing system will return IRN

Validations for IRN

API Sandbox portal lists out all types of validation to be carried out
before sending the IRN request

Document number should not be starting with 0, / and -.

B2C transactions are not accepted by the e-invoicing system. The access
to tax payer will be blocked, if continuous requests with B2C transactions
are fired.

cancelled within 24 hours
