Last month the GST Network had imposed a timeline for businesses with turnover of Rs 100 crore and above for uploading e-invoices on the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) within 7 days of the issue of such invoices beginning May 1.
Previously, there was no such restriction for businesses to upload the invoices on the IRP.
As per GST law, businesses cannot avail input tax credit (ITC) if invoices are not uploaded on the IRP.

AMRG & Associates Senior Partner Rajat Mohan said in the last few days, even large businesses have been perplexed over this new requirement to issue e-invoice within 7 days of the invoice date.
