Invoice Reference Number or IRN as it is usually called is a registration number provided by the government under the e-invoicing mandate to prove the authenticity of any B2B invoice generated by the businesses. It is one of the main components of an e-invoice. You can read all about IRN in the article and understand its intricacies in detail.
IRP for e-invoicing stands for Invoice Registration Portal which is an official platform provided by the government of India for businesses to generate e-invoices under GST. With the expansion in the scope of the e-invoicing mandate, IRIS has been appointed as the Invoice Registration Portal (“IRP Partner”) of GSTN, which permits us to act on behalf of GSTN to register B2B e-invoices of trade and industry.
The e-invoice received from the suppliers will have the extra-information related to IRN. Hence, the recipients now need to verify the same and keep it for records.
