Understanding e-Invoice Mandate for Transport & Logistics Sector

The Shift to Digital GST Compliance

The Government of India has progressively lowered the turnover threshold for e-Invoicing, bringing thousands of small and medium-sized transporters into the mandate. For the logistics sector, e-Invoicing is not just about tax; it's about the seamless integration of billing with the e-Way Bill system.

Key Mandates for Transporters

• IRN Generation: Every B2B invoice must have a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) generated from the IRP portal.
• QR Code Requirement: The physical copy of the invoice (or the digital PDF) must carry the government-issued QR code.
• E-Way Bill Integration: Part A of the e-Way Bill can now be automatically populated from the e-Invoice data, reducing double entry.

Benefits of e-Invoicing

While often seen as a burden, e-Invoicing actually streamlines operations by reducing data entry errors, accelerating GST reconciliation, and improving trust between transporters and their corporate clients.
