Businesses with an annual aggregate turnover of Rs 10 crore and above are required to generate IRN (invoice reference number)
Compliance solutions provider IRIS Business Services has launched the IRIS Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), one of the first private invoice registration portals authorised by the government to authenticate B2B and export invoices along with credit and debit notes, for goods and services tax (GST).
“We are excited to launch IRIS IRP and look forward to assisting businesses in complying with the GST requirements and making e-invoicing simpler for all,” said K Balachandran, co-founder and CFO of IRIS Business Services.

“The e-invoicing mandate and private IRPs are part of this story. IRIS is proud to be associated with this important initiative,” said Balachandran.
Currently, businesses with an annual aggregate turnover (AATO) of Rs 10 crore and above are required to generate IRN (invoice reference number). The threshold for e-invoicing is lowering in phases and soon it may get applicable to all businesses.
To simplify e-invoice implementation throughout the country, the government has given private IRPs like IRIS IRP authority to split the load from the government portal in order to simplify e-invoice implementation.
Gautam Mahanti, business head at IRIS Tax Tech, said, “The digital rails for powering a $10 trillion economy will run through IRP portals which will facilitate e-invoicing resulting in a faster and more transparent exchange of invoices while minimising tax leakages.”

Mahanti also expressed gratitude to the entire team at GSTN for their unwavering support throughout.
