Summary of GST Advisory on Lowering Threshold of AATO to 10 Crore and above to report e-invoice on IRP Portal.
The Government has issued GST Advisory on Lowering Threshold of AATO to 10 Crore and above to report e-invoice on IRP Portal on 05-11-2024.
1. With reference to the earlier advisory dated 13th September 2023 (https://einvoice.gst.gov.in/einvoice/newsandupdates/read-602), where a time limit of 30 days for reporting e-Invoices on IRP portals for taxpayers with an AATO of 100 crores and above was implemented, the threshold has now been lowered to cover taxpayers with an AATO of 10 crores and above.
2. Therefore, from 1st April 2025, taxpayers with an AATO of 10 crores and above would not be allowed to report e-Invoices older than 30 days from the date of reporting on IRP portals.
3. This restriction would apply to all document types (Invoices/Credit Notes/Debit Notes) for which an IRN is to be generated.
4. For example, if an invoice is dated 1st April 2025, it cannot be reported after 30th April 2025. The validation built into the invoice registration portals (IRP) would disallow the user from reporting the e-Invoice after the 30-day window. Hence, it is essential for taxpayers to ensure that they report the e-Invoice within the 30-day window provided by the new time limit.
5. It is further clarified that there would be no such reporting restriction on taxpayers with an AATO of less than 10 crores as of now.
6. To provide sufficient time for taxpayers to comply with this requirement, the above limit would come into effect from 1st April 2025 onwards.
