we are the service provider and we are not selling any goods. we forgot to generate e-invoices for the period of 01.04.2022 to 30.06.2022. (total 700 invoices) now can we upload these invoices into the IRP portal for e-invoices? if not possible what will be the consequences for not generating the e-invoices for that period.

Quick Summary
A service provider missed the e-invoicing deadline for 700+ invoices issued between April and June 2022. They are asking if these can still be uploaded to the IRP portal after three months and what the repercussions are, particularly regarding the recipient's ability to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). While some suggest ITC may still be available if declared in GSTR1, others state that without a generated IRN, the invoice is invalid, preventing ITC claims and potentially leading to penalties.
If E-invoice is required to be issue by the Supplier and he has not issue the same then Invoice will be not consider as valid as IRN is not generated. Hence, Recipient cannot take ITC
You can generate IRN now but the recipient will be subject to interest on ITC if utilised since he would have availed it 3 months ago. As @ mohd Masood nasiruddin said without einvoice the invoice itself is invalid. If einvoice is not done then ITC will not be available to recipient and you can be penalized for supplying without valid invoice
