12.09.2023: Businesses with turnover over Rs 100 cr not allowed to report e-invoices older than 30 days w.e.f. 01st November, 2023: Advisory

The GST e-invoice system has issued an Advisory dated 11.09.2023, to impose a time limit of 30 days for reporting of invoices from date of invoice, on e-invoice portals w.e.f. 01st November, 2023. This time limit is applicable for taxpayers with AATO greater than or equal to 100 crores. Earlier the time limit proposed by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) was seven days, however it was further relaxed to 30 days taking note of concerns raised by the businesses.

The Advisory reads as under:

It is to update you that it has been decided by the GST Authority to impose a time limit of 30 days for reporting of invoices from date of invoice, on e-invoice portals. This time limit is applicable for taxpayers with AATO greater than or equal to 100 crores. Hence, the taxpayers in this category will not be allowed to report invoices older than 30 days on the date of reporting.

Please note that this restriction will apply to the all document types for which IRNs are to be generated. Thus, the Credit / Debit note will also have to be reported within 30 days of issue from date of issue. For example, if an invoice has a date of Nov. 1, 2023, it cannot be reported after Nov. 30, 2023.

This validation will come into effect from 1st Nov, 2023.
