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).
Our E-Invoicing Assessment Scope
Our taxation and GST experts conduct a comprehensive review across all your PAN-linked entities to give you definitive clarity.
| Scope Area | What We Analyze |
|---|---|
| Historical Turnover Audit | Evaluation of PAN-level turnover from FY 2017–18 to present across all GSTINs. |
| Transaction Classification | Categorization of sales (B2B, B2C, Exports, SEZ, Deemed Exports) to map precise e-invoicing triggers. |
| Exemption Analysis | Verification against statutory exemptions (e.g., GTAs, Banking/NBFCs, SEZ Units, Passenger Transport). |
| ERP & Workflow Readiness | Assessment of your current billing software (Tally, Zoho, SAP, custom ERP) to map API integration requirements. |
| Vendor/Client ITC Risk | Review of historic invoices to identify potential non-compliance risks or blocked Input Tax Credits. |

You operate multiple business verticals or GSTINs under a single PAN.
