The change

GSTN issued an advisory dated 17 June 2026 introducing changes to the e-Invoice API and the e-Way Bill-by-IRN API: capture of a 'Ship-to GSTIN' field becomes mandatory for Bill-to/Ship-to transactions (using 'URP' where the consignee is unregistered), and a new voluntary e-Way Bill closure facility lets the supplier, recipient or transporter mark a consignment's movement as complete. The changes are released in the sandbox first and apply in the production environment from 1 August 2026.
