- GSTN has announced API changes effective 1 August 2026 for e-Invoice, e-Way Bill by IRN, and EWB closure processes.
- Ship-to GSTIN will become mandatory whenever Ship-to details are provided for transactions requiring e-Way Bills; “URP” can be used if no GSTIN is available.
- New validation will ensure Ship-to GSTIN is different from Bill-to GSTIN, and updates are allowed for export transactions but restricted for B2B/SEZ transactions.
- A new Voluntary Closure of E-Way Bill facility and API has been introduced.
- Taxpayers, ERP vendors, and API integrators must update systems and complete sandbox testing before implementation.
