It has been decided by the Government to impose a time limit on reporting old invoices on the e-invoice IRP portals for taxpayers with AATO greater than or equal to 100 crores.
To ensure timely compliance, taxpayers in this category will not be allowed to report invoices older than 7 days on the date of reporting. Please note that this restriction will apply to the all document types for which IRN is to be generated. Thus, once issued, the credit / Debit note will also have to be reported within 7 days of issue.
For example, if an invoice has a date of April 1, 2023, it cannot be reported after April 8, 2023. The validation system built into the invoice registration portal will disallow the user from reporting the invoice after the 7-day window. Hence, it is essential for taxpayers to ensure that they report the invoice within the 7-day window provided by the new time limit.
It is further to clarify that there will be no such reporting restriction on taxpayers with AATO less than 100 crores, as of now. To allow taxpayers sufficient time to adapt to this new requirement, which may involve making changes to their systems, the proposed implementation date for this rule is 01.05.2023.
