Government made e-invoicing mandatory and how can you implement it for your business.

E-Invoicing

E-Invoicing is now Mandatory to any Company which has a revenue of 50 Cr per annum. Previously it was mandatory only for companies with annual revenue of 500 Cr. Companies above 500 Cr revenue can enable E-Invoicing through direct contact with the GST / Finance Ministry for API Integration. However, the same does not apply to companies below 500 Cr revenue per annum. Such companies must contact one of the 55+ GST Suvidha Providers or GSPs who in turn will give login credentials and facilitate the fundamental technical requirement for E-Invoicing implementation.

However, this is not sufficient as the APIs are not readily compatible with all ERP / Invoicing systems. Mahadhi Technologies Pvt Ltd has implemented E-Invoicing for such companies by being a bridge between the GSPs and the company to ensure a smooth transition to E-Invoicing and better technical integration (ERP / Invoicing Software with E-Invoicing system of Govt. of India.)
