The GST Council had decided on the phased implementation of electronic invoice with the aim to bring all the small businesses under the formal economy. The current e-invoice limit is Rs 10 crore which implemented on the phased manner as follows:
| Annual turnover | Mandatory implementation of e-invoice |
| Exceeding 500 crore | 1st October 2020 |
| Exceeding 100 crore | 1st January 2021 |
| Exceeding 50 crore | 1st April 2021 |
| Exceeding 20 crore | 1st April 2022 |
| Exceeding 10 crore | 1st October 2022 |
However, some news reportt states that e-invoice is applicable to the businesses with 5 crore turnover wef 1st January 2022. CBIC has clarified this fake News via tweet-
“Some news reports have appeared in media today suggesting that though GST Council has recommended reducing threshold for generation of e-invoice to Rs.5 cr wef 1.1.23, the Govt. has yet to issue notification in the matter, giving rise to uncertainties amongst the taxpayers.”
“It is clarified that presently, e-invoicing has been made mandatory for registered persons having aggregate turnover more than Rs. 10 crore in any preceding financial year from 2017-18 onwards (Refer Notification no. 17/2022-Central Tax dated 01.08.2022).”
