E-Invoice JSON Schema Validation & Technical Rules (2026 Guide)

July 24, 202611 min readAkib Husain

Quick Summary: What Is the GST E-Invoice JSON Schema (INV-01)?

The E-Invoice JSON Schema (Form GST INV-01) is a standard payload containing 132 attributes organized into 12 sections. It mandates fields like Supplier/Buyer GSTIN, Document Type/No, ItemList (HSN, Qty, Price, Tax Rate), and ValDtls (Taxable Value, Tax Breakdown). Any format error results in IRP rejection.

  • 132 Technical Attributes: Grouped across 12 distinct JSON objects.
  • Mandatory ItemList: Line item array supporting up to 1,000 items per invoice.
  • ShipDtls Requirement: ShipDtls.Gstin is mandatory for Bill-To/Ship-To ('URP' if unregistered).
  • ValDtls Schema: Strict mathematical validation between ItemList sums and ValDtls.
