Compliance Enforced Before Your ERP Sees the Invoice
Most AP tools post invoices first and flag compliance issues later - after the ITC is already at risk. IQInvoice runs GSTIN validation, IRN verification, and vendor legitimacy checks at the gate. Only clean invoices enter your ERP.

Automated, real-time, before ERP entry. No manual checking. No post-facto correction.
GSTIN Validation
Every vendor's GST registration number is verified against the live GSTN database. Unregistered, suspended, or cancelled GSTINs are blocked before any invoice is processed.
IRN and QR Verification
Invoice Reference Numbers and embedded QR codes are authenticated against the Invoice Registration Portal in real time. Tampered or fabricated e-invoices are caught at source.
ITC Eligibility Protection
GSTR-2A/2B reconciliation and Rule 36(4) monitoring run on every invoice. ITC leakage is caught before it becomes an audit finding - not discovered at filing time.
e-Invoice Mandate Compliance
For vendors covered by the e-invoicing mandate, IQInvoice enforces IRN presence and IRP registration checks. Non-compliant invoices are rejected before entry.
Vendor PAN and MCA Verification
Vendor identity is confirmed via PAN and MCA registry checks. Deregistered, struck-off, or blacklisted vendors are flagged before approval - not after payment.
MSME Compliance Tracking
MSME-registered vendors are automatically identified and flagged for 45-day payment priority rules under the MSMED Act. Payment timeline breaches are surfaced before they become penalties.
How the Compliance Gate Works
Invoice Received
Invoice arrives via email, vendor portal, or direct upload. IQInvoice extracts structured data automatically - no manual entry.
Compliance Gate Validates
All six compliance checks run in parallel against live government portals. Failures are blocked and routed for exception handling - not silently passed through.
Clean Invoices Enter ERP
Only validated invoices proceed to approval and ERP posting. Your books, your ITC position, and your audit trail stay clean.
The Cost of Getting This Wrong
Non-compliance in AP isn't an audit risk in theory - it's a recurring cash cost.
ITC Disallowance
Invoices from non-filers, cancelled GSTINs, or vendors exceeding Rule 36(4) limits result in ITC disallowance. For mid-market companies processing 2,000+ invoices a month, this exposure compounds quickly.
Audit Penalties
GST audits increasingly scrutinise input credit claims. Invoices that fail IRN verification or GSTR-2B reconciliation trigger scrutiny notices - each requiring documentation and legal response.
Vendor Fraud Exposure
Paying invoices from unregistered or deregistered vendors creates both financial loss and GST liability. Without automated GSTIN and PAN checks, this risk is invisible until it surfaces in an audit.
MSME Penalties
Late payment to MSME vendors beyond 45 days triggers interest liability under the MSMED Act. Without automated MSME flagging, finance teams have no way to prioritise these payments systematically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GSTIN validation in AP automation?
GSTIN validation is the process of verifying a vendor's GST registration number against the live GSTN database before processing their invoice. IQInvoice performs this check automatically on every invoice - blocking unregistered or cancelled vendors before any ERP entry is created.
What is IRN/QR verification and why does it matter?
The Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and embedded QR code are generated by the government's Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) for e-invoicing mandated businesses. IQInvoice verifies the IRN and QR code against the IRP in real time - ensuring the invoice is genuine and not tampered with before it enters your AP workflow.
How does IQInvoice protect ITC eligibility?
IQInvoice reconciles invoices against GSTR-2A/2B and monitors Rule 36(4) limits before posting. Invoices that would cause ITC disallowance - due to supplier non-filing, GSTIN mismatch, or eligibility rules - are blocked at the gate, not flagged after the ITC is already at risk.
Which businesses are covered by India's e-invoicing mandate?
As of 2024, the e-invoicing mandate applies to businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore. IQInvoice enforces e-invoice compliance for all applicable vendors automatically - checking IRN presence, QR code authenticity, and IRP registration status on every invoice.
