- Click 'Search.'

Step 4: View and Download

- After searching, you'll see the specific IRN.

- To download the signed e invoice, click 'Download PDF' (for a single active IRN).

- Alternatively, choose 'Download e invoice JSON' to get the e invoice in JSON format.

Step 5: Bulk Download (By Period)

- To download e invoices in bulk for a specific period, go to the 'For Period' tab.

- Choose the Financial Year and Month you're interested in.

- Click 'Download e invoice (Excel).'

Step 7: History of Downloading

- Keep in mind that the e invoices you request will be available in the downloading history for only 2 days. After 48 hours, you'll need to start a fresh request.

- This feature allows you to download e invoices from all six IRPs (Invoice Registration Portals), giving you complete data.

- You can download e invoice JSON files for up to 6 months from the IRN generation date.

- To ensure a smooth process for all users, it's recommended to schedule your downloads during off-peak hours and avoid overwhelming the system with large requests initially.
