What this means for you
GST e-invoicing applies to notified registered persons whose aggregate annual turnover reached INR 5 crore in any covered financial year. The INR 5-crore cohort applied from 1 August 2023; a separate 30-day reporting restriction applies from 1 April 2025 at INR 10 crore.
What FreeBillGen can verify
For eligible saved invoices, FreeBillGen can prepare generic OASIS UBL and UN/CEFACT CII mappings and run its named internal checks. These mappings are not EN 16931, Factur-X, Peppol, national-CIUS or clearance-platform validation. FreeBillGen does not transmit them through a provider network.
