E-invoicing applicability assessment

E-invoicing applicability assessment

Under GST laws in India, any business whose Aggregate Annual Turnover (AATO) crossed ?5 Crore in any financial year from FY 2017–18 onwards is legally mandated to issue e-invoices for B2B transactions and exports.

Determining whether e-invoicing applies to your business isn't always straightforward—especially with multi-GSTIN entities, fluctuating yearly turnovers, and specific sector exemptions. At OBG Outsourcing Private Limited, we provide end-to-end E-Invoicing Applicability Assessments to clarify your legal obligations and set up seamless compliance processes.

Why Is an Assessment Critical?

The Historical Turnover Trap: E-invoicing applicability is based on your peak turnover since 2017–18. Even if your current financial year’s turnover drops below ?5 Crore, you are still legally required to generate e-invoices if you crossed it in any prior year.

Severe Penalties for Non-Compliance: Issuing a standard invoice when required to issue an e-invoice carries a penalty of 100% of the tax due or ?10,000 per invoice (whichever is higher).

Buyer ITC Blockage: If you issue non-compliant invoices, your B2B customers cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC), damaging your client relationships and vendor ratings.

Tight Reporting Timeframes: Taxpayers with turnover crossing specified thresholds face strict time limits (such as a 30-day reporting window) to upload invoices to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).
