Invoicing and E-Invoicing
FinAura raises your customer invoices: from the agreed trigger, with the right GST treatment, numbering and details, and registered on the invoice registration portal with an IRN and QR code where your business is notified for e-invoicing. For goods, the e-way bill is generated alongside, so nothing is held up in transit.

A common question
Does my business need e-invoicing?
E-invoicing applies to businesses notified by turnover, for invoices to registered customers and exports, with some categories exempt. The limits have been lowered over time.
An invoice that needed an IRN and did not get one is not a valid invoice for your customer's credit. We check whether you are covered and set up the process before the first invoice.

Only within a short window on the portal and only in full; later corrections are made through credit or debit notes.
Do you raise invoices from our software?
