E-Invoicing (GST) — GST invoices generated through the government's IRP portal — mandatory for B2B sellers above turnover thresholds, with the IRN embedded on the invoice.

Why it matters to your store

If you B2B-ship, invoices must be e-invoiced before dispatch — a missing IRN can hold a consignment. Consumer parcels don't need it.

This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.

Worked example

₹80,000 wholesale order → e-invoice generated → IRN on the document → consignment travels compliantly.

The bottom line

Shipping jargon is really just the billing manual in disguise — every term on this list maps to a line on an invoice or a lever on your margins. Pure Parcel is built so you rarely have to think about it: statuses normalise, bills reconcile, and quotes already include the surcharges.
