Help eligible B2B buyers receive invoice information without confusing IFF with a quarterly return.
Optional B2B invoice furnishing for the eligible first and second months of a quarter, so buyers can access reported invoice details.
Who is this service for?
The Invoice Furnishing Facility is an optional facility for eligible QRMP taxpayers to furnish specified B2B invoice information for the first and second months of a quarter. IFF is not a replacement for the quarterly GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B.
Relevant audience: QRMP quarterly filers. Start with the taxpayer category, registration and period; a familiar form name alone does not establish that a service is applicable to you.
What your expert checks
When is IFF useful?
A quarterly filer may have registered business customers who want eligible invoice information furnished before the quarter ends. Review the selected month, the QRMP status and the invoices that actually qualify for the facility. Consumer sales should not be treated as eligible B2B invoices simply because the customer asks for faster reporting. The expert checks the applicable portal conditions before furnishing records.
How do you avoid duplicate reporting?
Maintain a record of invoices furnished through IFF, including corrections and any rejected or excluded entries. When preparing the quarterly GSTR-1, distinguish information already furnished from invoices still to be reported. The commercial one-time scope covers the agreed eligible IFF furnishing within one selected quarter; explicitly confirm whether M1, M2 or both months are included before work starts.
Documents to keep ready
A clear working file helps the expert ask relevant questions and reduces avoidable back-and-forth. Prepare these records for the exact scope you want to purchase:
- GSTIN and business details
- Selected return period and financial year
- Sales / purchase registers and relevant invoices
- Credit / debit notes, tax and input-credit records
- Prior returns and portal records where applicable
Use your consultation’s secure document facility when sharing records with the assigned expert. Do not put passwords, OTPs, personal identifiers or client documents in a public comment.
Before you approve the work
- Check the taxpayer’s QRMP preference and the selected M1 or M2 period.
- Separate eligible B2B invoices from consumer invoices and other sales.
- Retain an invoice-level trail for the subsequent quarterly reconciliation.
