Online and Offline e-Invoice Generation on IRP Using TallyPrime
e-Invoicing is a system that allows the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) to electronically verify B2B invoices. Accordingly, e-invoicing in TallyPrime provides you with a smooth experience to configure and generate e-invoices for your business. Once your e-invoice is generated successfully, the details of the e-invoice will reflect in GSTR-1.
TallyPrime’s e-invoicing solution can be easily used by all eligible entities such as taxpayers and tax consultants. In TallyPrime, you only have to record your sales transactions, as usual, and your e-invoice requirements will be covered in the same flow! Important details, such as IRN, Ack No., QR code, and e-Way Bill no., will be updated in the vouchers automatically, and you can proceed to print them. Moreover, TallyPrime will ensure that both your business and your compliance requirements are suitably addressed.
TallyPrime also provides you with the flexibility to generate e-invoices in bulk for multiple invoices. You can select one or more transactions from the e-Invoice report and generate the respective IRN, at your convenience.
Moreover, if you are using TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later releases, then you can generate e-Invoices for any GST registration or GSTIN during voucher creation or multiple GST registrations through Exchange by selecting multiple vouchers created for different registrations.
We understand how valuable your data is for you and your business, and we have provided various measures in TallyPrime to safeguard your data. All the requests for online e-invoicing will pass through Tally GSP (TIPL), which has been awarded ISO 27001:2013 certificate for its stringent security policies. The best part is that you will not need any additional software or plugins to enjoy the benefits of e-invoicing in TallyPrime.

e-Invoice for service to a foreign party & billing to local or interstate party
According to notification No. 07/2021 – Central Tax (Rate), export freight will now be taxable under GST from 01-Oct-2022. Section 12(8) of the IGST Act states, “Provided that where the transportation of goods is to be place outside India, the place of supply shall be the place of destination of such goods”. So as per the proviso of Section 12(8) read with section 7(5) of IGST Act, all outbound freight transactions when billed to Indian customers, with the place of supply as Other Territory will attract IGST, with effect from 01-Oct-2022.
For example, if you are billing a local or interstate party for providing any service (say Airport Transport) to a party located out of India, you need to apply IGST on such transactions. Also, the state of the Consignee receiving the services and the place of supply should be marked as Other Territory.
- While recording a sales transaction, in the Party Details screen:
- Under Buyer (Bill to), select the ledger created for interstate party or local party who is billed for the service.
- Under Consignee (Ship to), select the ledger created for the foreign party who receives the service.
If you do not see this option, press F12 (Configure) > set Provide separate Buyer and Consignee details to Yes.- Select the Country other than India – for example UAE that the party receiving the service belongs to.
The Emirates option, instead of State, appears for UAE. - Emirates: Select New Emirates > enter Other Territory.
From Release 3.0.1 onwards, if the Buyer is from India & the Consignee is from another country, then the Emirate will be automatically sent as Other Territory, and the State Code will be sent as 97.
- Enter the Pincode as 999999.
From Release 3.0.1 onwards, if the Buyer is from India & the Consignee is from another country, then the State or Emirate will be automatically sent as Other Territory, and the Pincode will be sent as 999999.
- Select the Country other than India – for example UAE that the party receiving the service belongs to.
-
Place of Supply: Select Other Territory. This is the place where the party receives the service.
For e-invoice generation, the place of supply must be entered as Other Territory; else, TallyPrime will display the following error: The State of the field is required.
- In the sales transaction, select the service ledger (say Airport Transport) and IGST ledger.
- Provide e-Invoice Details: Yes.
- Bill to place: Select the place of the party (local or interstate) who is billed for the service.
- Ship to place: Select the place of the foreign party who receives the service.
- Accept the screen. As always, press Ctrl+A to save.
Ensure that F12 (Configure) > Send e-Invoice Details after saving the Voucher is set to Yes for generating e-invoice for the foreign party.
On saving the screen, the e-invoice is generated successfully, displaying the following message:
- Generate the JSON file by pressing Alt+Z (Exchange) > Send for e-Invoicing > Offline Export.
- Go to the folder where the JSON file is saved, and open the JSON file in the Notepad format.
You can see that the POS value is automatically updated as 97.
e-Invoice for Transportation Services (HSN: 9965 & 9968) by Mail/Courier Inside India
If you are providing transportation services by mail or courier within India (HSN 9965 and 9968), then the State Code has to be specified as 96 (Foreign Country) for the Place of Supply, even when the party is local or intrastate. This is as per the latest updates of the IGST Act (sub-section (8) under section 12), effective from 30th January 2023.
Accordingly, you can easily make the necessary updates while recording e-Invoices in TallyPrime.
In TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later versions
- Record your GST Sales transaction, as usual, with the necessary setup for e-invoicing.

After selecting the transportation ledger, the GST Rate and Related Details screen appears. In this screen, specify the Nature of transaction as Interstate Sales Taxable.
- Nature of supply as IGST:
- In the transaction, set Provide GST/e-Invoice details to Yes.
The Additional Details: Interstate Sales Taxable sub-screen will appear. - Set Supplies under section 7 of IGST Act to Yes.

Offline e-Invoicing (JSON Export)
TallyPrime also allows you to carry out e-invoicing in the offline mode, in case you do not have continuous access to the internet, or if you don’t want to send your invoice details directly to the portal. In such cases, you can export the details of your e-invoice to a JSON file and then upload it on IRP at your convenience.
What’s more, TallyPrime creates the offline files in the format and size recommended by IRP. If the data size is more than 2 MB, then the information will be split into multiple files, each of which will be less than 2 MB.
