Quick Summary: How Do I Generate E-Invoices Directly in Tally Prime?

To generate e-invoices in Tally Prime: Enable e-Invoicing in F11 > GST. Create an API User on einvoice.gst.gov.in selecting GSP 'Tally (India) Private Ltd'. When saving a B2B Sales Voucher (F8), click 'Yes' to Send e-Invoice Details. Tally fetches the IRN and 2D QR Code directly from the IRP in real-time.

  • One-Time API Setup: Register GSP 'Tally (India) Private Ltd' on the e-Invoice Portal.
  • Real-Time Generation: Instant IRN fetch during F8 Sales Voucher entry.
  • Automatic 2D QR Code: Embedded directly into PDF prints (Ctrl+P).
  • Bulk e-Invoicing: Accessible via Display > Statutory Reports > GST > e-Invoice.

1. One-Time Setup: Registering Tally GSP on IRP Portal

Before Tally Prime can communicate with government IRP servers, you must set up API credentials:

  1. Visit the official portal einvoice.gst.gov.in and log in.
  2. Go to API Registration > User Credentials > Create API User.
  3. Select registration mode: Through GSP. Select GSP name: Tally (India) Private Ltd.
  4. Create an API Username and Password. (These credentials will be entered inside Tally Prime).

2. Step-by-Step IRN Generation in Tally Prime

Step 1: Enable F11 Features

Go to Gateway of Tally > F11 (Features) > Enable GST. Set Enable e-Invoicing to Yes. Enter your Applicable From date and Bill-From Place.

Step 2: Record F8 Sales Voucher

Open Sales Voucher (F8), select B2B party ledger, stock items, and tax ledgers. Ensure HSN codes and party GSTINs are valid.

Automate Purchase Invoice Entry in Tally Prime

While Tally handles outward sales e-invoicing natively, typing incoming supplier e-invoices manually into Tally Prime creates entry errors and delayed GSTR-2B matching.
