GST Council meeting: E-invoice mandate may soon cover B2C transactions
The implementation of e-invoicing for B2B transactions had been progressively rolled out under the GST law. In October 2020, businesses with a turnover exceeding Rs 500 crore were first mandated to issue e-invoices. This requirement was later extended to companies with turnover above Rs 100 crore from January 1, 2021. By April 1, 2021, the threshold was reduced to Rs 50 crore, and further lowered to Rs 20 crore a year later.
