Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled a new e-invoicing facility for government suppliers on Wednesday, saying people would no longer need to meet with officials and face the prospect of being “rente-seeking” by some officials to get their invoices from government agencies to have it settled.
“As a government contractor or supplier, you can now submit invoices digitally, with your claim and your digital signature, and you don’t have to come to any of the government offices,” Ms Sitharaman said of the new “paperless”. ‘ System for submitting and processing invoices. The ministry said this would be implemented “in stages”, starting initially with nine departments.
