"The introduction of e-invoicing for companies of Rs 100 crore and above will open new business opportunity for us. There are approximately 13,500 businesses having turnover of over Rs 100 crore in India," GST DOST president Vikas Dhanania told PTI.
E-invoicing is currently mandated for businesses with an annual turnover over Rs 500 crore.
