Generate e-Invoice (IRN) and Print QR Code

In TallyPrime, you can generate e-Invoice (IRN) and print QR code after passing a transaction. You can also send e-Way Bill along with e-Invoice details.

You also have the option to generate bulk IRN/e-Invoice.

As per the GSTN Advisory No. 661, effective August 1, 2026, the GSTN has mandated the entry of the Ship-To GSTIN for transactions where the Ship to address is different from the Bill to address. TallyPrime 7.1 onwards, you need to specify the GSTIN/UIN in transactions in which the Bill To and Ship To addresses are different. Thereafter, you can generate e-Invoice.

If you’re already using an e-Way Bill profile in TallyPrime, you don’t need a separate API User Profile for e-Invoicing.
