National Informatics Centre (NIC) has issued a list of GSTINs updated till 15th July 2021 generating IRN.
The Invoice Reference Number (IRN) is a unique number (also known as hash) generated by the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) using a hash generation algorithm, under the e-invoicing system. For every document such as an invoice or debit or credit note to be submitted on the Invoice Regsitration Portal, a 64 character invoice reference number shall be generated. This number shall be unique for every invoice raised in a financial year by a GSTIN in the entire GST system.
Further, every invoice being issued by supplier to his recipient must contain the IRN. The tax officers can verify the genuineness of the transaction using invoice reference number through the central portal as well as an offline app. It will, in turn, help them check the invoice even where internet may not be accessible.
