GSTN Issues Instructions for Direct API Integration with 6 IRPs

The GSTN has issued an Advisory dated November 17, 2023, on extensive guide along with detailed instructions for facilitating the direct API integration process with any of the 6 Invoice Registration Portals (IRPs) dedicated to E-Invoice Reporting.

The Invoice Registration Portal, commonly referred to as IRP, plays a crucial role in authenticating invoices within the GST ecosystem. It is responsible for generating and assigning Invoice Reference Numbers (IRN) to each GST invoice.

>During its 43rd meeting, the GST Council had approved the proposal put forth by the GSTN to collaborate with private industry players and set up additional e-invoice registration portals.

This initiative aims to augment the country’s e-invoice registration capabilities, supplementing the existing single Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) operated by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
