The GST e-Invoice System, a landmark initiative in India’s tax administration, celebrates its 4th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in simplifying and digitizing tax compliance for businesses. Launched in October 2020, the system has revolutionized invoice generation and reporting, enhancing transparency, reducing tax evasion, and streamlining operations for taxpayers and the government alike.
