Set Up e-Invoicing on IRP in TallyPrime: 6 Steps + Example

e-Invoicing under GST is now mandatory for many businesses.

If your business turnover crosses the prescribed limit, you must generate e-Invoices by uploading them to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).

With TallyPrime, you don’t need to visit the IRP manually.

Once setup is done, e-Invoices can be generated directly from TallyPrime, saving time and effort.

1. What is e-Invoicing in TallyPrime?

e-Invoicing is a system where B2B invoices are electronically uploaded to the IRP.

After validation, the IRP generates a unique IRN (Invoice Reference Number) and QR code.

It’s mandatory for:

B2B invoices
Export invoices
Credit/Debit Notes (related to B2B)

You sell goods worth ₹50,000 + 18% GST to “ABC Distributors” in another state.

You want to generate an e-Invoice from TallyPrime and get the IRN and QR code instantly.
