Do I need to generate IRN for ISD Invoices & ISD Credit Notes?

Yes, you need to generate an IRN for ISD invoices and ISD credit notes. The IRN is a unique identifier that is generated by the GSTN when an invoice is uploaded on the e-Invoicing Portal. The IRN is required for all invoices that are subject to e-invoicing, including ISD invoices and ISD credit notes.

The IRN is used to track invoices and to prevent fraud. It also helps to ensure that all invoices are compliant with the GST rules. If you do not generate an IRN for your ISD invoices and ISD credit notes, you may be liable for penalties.

Here are the steps on how to generate an IRN for ISD invoices and ISD credit notes:

1. Log in to the e-Invoicing Portal.
2. Click on the "Invoice" tab.
3. Click on the "Create Invoice" button.
4. Enter the details of the invoice.
5. Select the "ISD Invoice" or "ISD Credit Note" option.
6. Click on the "Generate IRN" button.
7. The IRN will be generated and displayed on the screen.
8. Save the invoice.

The IRN for the ISD invoice or ISD credit note will be displayed on the invoice. You must keep the IRN safe for future reference.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• You can only generate one IRN per invoice.
• The IRN is valid for 30 days.
• If you need to generate a new IRN for an invoice, you must cancel the old invoice first.
• If you have any questions about generating IRNs, you can contact the e-Invoicing Portal support team for assistance.
