E-Invoice for Small Shop – Kya Zaroori Hai?

E-invoice is mandatory for some businesses. Does your kirana need it?

E-Invoice Mandate (as of 2024)

• ** ₹5 Cr+ turnover** – E-invoice mandatory (B2B)
• ** ₹1 Cr–5 Cr** – Phased in some cases
• Below ₹1 Cr – Not mandatory for now
• B2C – Generally not required for retail sales to consumers

What is E-Invoice?

• Invoice uploaded to government portal (IRP)
• Gets unique IRN (Invoice Reference Number)
• QR code on invoice
• Ensures authenticity
• Required for B2B above threshold

For Small Kirana

If your turnover is below ₹1–5 Cr and you mostly sell B2C, you may not need e-invoice yet. Keep GST-compliant paper/PDF invoices. Check latest CBIC notifications for updates.
