India GST IRN QR Code

Indian GST e-invoice carrying a GSTN-assigned Invoice Reference Number. You can scan and verify one, but you won't find it in our generator.

What is a India GST IRN QR code?

An Indian GST e-invoice QR code carries the Invoice Reference Number (IRN) assigned when a business registers an invoice for the Goods and Services Tax.

Who issues it

The GST Network (GSTN) issues the IRN through its Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). A business submits invoice details, and the portal returns a signed IRN and QR code.

The standard behind it

GST e-invoicing is mandatory for qualifying Indian businesses above a turnover threshold. The QR code includes the IRN plus a digital signature from the IRP, so a recipient can confirm the invoice was actually registered.

Why you can't generate this here

The identifier is minted and assigned by an issuing authority or registry (a tax authority, health ministry, or goods-serialization registry). It can be checked, not manufactured by a third-party tool.

You can still scan and verify one with our free QR checker.

Frequently asked

Can I make a India GST IRN QR code with a generator?
No. The IRN comes from GSTN's own system after it validates the invoice. There's nothing to generate independently, an unregistered invoice has no IRN.

Can I check whether one I received is genuine?
Yes. The government's e-invoice portal offers a QR verification tool, and check.qr.abundera.ai will show you the raw fields.
