E-invoicing in Tally

In the past few years, there have been many changes in the tax system in India. After the introduction of GST few other statutory elements like the E-way bill and E-invoicing were added.

E-invoicing is the process of creating a standard invoice format which is to be followed by all businesses eventually.

At present, E-invoicing has been made mandatory for all businesses with above 500cr turnover n the preceding financial year.

According to the latest update (update as on 10th Nov 2020), all businesses with an aggregate turnover of Rs. 100 crore or more in the previous financial year, have to implement e-invoicing in their billing and ERP software beginning from 1st January 2021.

One misconception about E-invoicing is that some believe E-invoice has to be generated from the GST portal. This is not true. You can use your existing billing or ERP software to generate E-invoice as per the suggested format.

Tally Solutions has introduced E-invoice in Tally which allows Tally users to generate format that is required for E-invoicing as well as E-way bill.
