The E-invoice1 system, operational since October 2020, has facilitated the generation of over 631 crore e-invoices by 11.08 lakh taxpayers, with over 21 crore e-invoices generated monthly. The system, rolled out in phases, began with taxpayers having an annual aggregate turnover (AATO) over Rs. 500 crores and now includes those with AATO over Rs. 5 crores, extending to B2B and export invoices from August 1, 2023. GSTN expanded the number of e-invoice portals from one to six, incorporating private participation, with NIC launching the e-invoice2 portal in March 2023. Despite multiple portals, the e-invoice1 portal remains predominant for IRN generation. NIC has now introduced interoperable services between e-invoice1 and e-invoice2 portals, available for testing and set to go live on August 1, 2024. Key features include shared login credentials, unified API token usage for e-invoice and e-waybill services, and criss-cross operations for printing and cancellation of e-invoices across both portals. These services enable seamless switching between portals, ensuring uninterrupted e-invoice generation and high system availability, even during technical challenges. Detailed API-related features are available in the API documentation and sandbox websites of the e-invoice and e-waybill systems.
