The government is increasing the number of portals for registering e-invoices from just one to six as it takes the digital route to plug indirect tax collection leakages in the run-up to a meeting of the Goods and Services Tax Council next week.
The portals are the latest step in a move to expand the scope of e-invoicing beginning with making it mandatory for companies with a revenue of ₹500 crore in 2020, the criteria is now down to businesses with ₹20 crore revenue.
Having benefited from burgeoning tax revenue as a result of enforcement and compliance measures, the government is now expanding the e-invoicing infrastructure to facilitate higher volumes of transactions as its scope widens going forward.
Official data last year showed that only about half of eligible GST identification numbers (GSTINs) were generating these invoices.
The single e-invoice portal so far has been run by state-owned National Informatics Centre (NIC), which now wants to set up one more portal.
