IFF — Invoice Furnishing Facility
QRMP filers can upload B2B invoices for Month 1 and Month 2 of the quarter using the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) by the 13th of the following month, so counterparties' GSTR-2B reflects the ITC promptly.

Whether QRMP is available to taxpayers who crossed the ₹5 Cr AATO threshold mid-year — if turnover crosses ₹5 Cr during the year, the taxpayer must move to monthly filing from the next quarter. Confirm the exact cut-off and transition procedure on the GSTN portal.
