We are glad to be a part of India's growth story and offer tax exemption to educational institutions and SEZ companies. If you fall under any of these categories, please provide proof of tax exemption provided by the government, before the order invoice is generated.
Do you offer a credit facility or an instalment scheme?
Offering credit at an industrial scale creates inefficiencies as it requires additional tracking and reconciliation systems. Hence, at this moment, we are not offering an instalment or credit payment scheme.
What is E-Invoicing?
Electronic invoicing or e-invoicing is the mechanism of electronically authenticating the B2B invoices using the GSTN which enables users to further use the common GST portal.
The electronic invoicing system works by issuing an identification number for every invoice that is generated by the user. The identification number is issued by the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) and managed by the GST Network (GSTN).
Once the e-invoice is generated, all the invoice information is automatically transferred by IRP to both the GST portal and e-way bill portal in real-time.
As the data is directly passed to the GST portal, the user can discard the need for manually entering the data while filing the GSTR-1 returns and generation of part-A of the e-way bills. The data will be automatically available on the portal.
The IRP was first launched by the National Informatics Centre at einvoice1.gst.gov.in and more information on e-invoicing can be accessed from the link.
Is the PCB Power falling under E-Invoicing compliance?
Yes, as per the norms of GST Network (GSTN) PCB Power needs to adhere to all e-invoicing compliances.
Who needs E-Invoicing?
It is mandatory to have e-invoicing for your transactions for the customers dealing in B2B and B2G segments.
If a customer has mentioned GSTIN, can we change or modify the Invoice after that?
No, the tax invoice for B2B can not be amended once the invoice for the same is generated or raised.
What is the implementation of E-Invoicing for customers belonging to SEZ/EOU?
It is mandatory for SEZ/EOU customers to provide their GSTN so that we can generate the e-invoice to get the required GST exemption.
What information is required from the customer to raise an invoice?
It is crucial to understand that once the information is entered into the system and the invoice is generated, the information can not be modified so cross-check all your information thoroughly before the final submission. Following are the things required to fill in the form to generate an e-invoice.
- Customer name
- Invoice address
- Shipping address
- GST number
- Quantity and rates
Can IRN/e-invoice be deleted or modified?
Once the e-invoice is generated in the system, it can not be modified or deleted. However, the e-invoice can be cancelled in case the form is filled with the wrong information. After the cancellation of the invoice, the same invoice (with the same number) can’t be reported again for IRN generation. Also, the cancellation of the e-invoice must be done within 24 hours from the time of the original IRN generation.
What to do if there is a mistake or incorrect data entry in the e-invoice?
The e-invoice once generated cannot be modified or corrected. Hence, you will need to cancel that e-invoice and upload a new invoice (with a new number) to generate a fresh IRN.
Can we cancel the e-invoice partially?
No, the e-invoice can not be partially cancelled and needs to be fully cancelled within 24 hours from the time of its original generation.
What will happen if we fail to cancel the e-invoice within 24 Hours?
If you wish to cancel the e-invoice but fail to do so within the structured time period, you will have to generate a credit note against which the customer will have to share the debit note copy.
How to make UPI payments?
PCB Power does not provide a direct mobile number for payments.However, we offer an online payment facility through our payment portal.This allows you to make UPI payments by scanning the QR code.
