New Country Coverage: India

The Invoicing Hub now covers a 20th country: India, with regular e-invoicing news & detailed country profile.

India has rolled out its e-invoicing mandate (B2B & B2G) following a “clearance” model, in a phased manner, reflecting a strategic effort to digitize GST compliance. Starting with large enterprises in 2020, the mandate has gradually been extended to include always more businesses. This step-by-step approach has helped companies transition smoothly while minimizing operational disruptions.

Despite the progress, many businesses are however unlikely to fully leverage the key advantages of e-invoicing, such as process automation and reduced manual errors. Indeed, after clearance by the IRP central platform, the majority of invoices will still be delivered in paper or PDF format, requiring manual handling by recipients.

But in the world’s most populous country, the decision to adopt a clearance model makes practical sense, as it imposes fewer requirements and ensures wider compliance across businesses. Looking ahead, India’s e-invoicing landscape holds immense potential, with the upcoming B2C pilot expected to further highlight its benefits.
