Accurate GSTR-1 Filing for Your Sales & Outward Supplies

GSTR-1 tells the GST system what you sold, to whom, under which tax treatment, and what document was issued — it's not simply a form where you enter your total sales.

We prepare your GSTR-1 from properly reconciled sales data — B2B, B2C, exports, SEZ, credit/debit notes and HSN — checked against e-invoice, e-way bill and GSTR-3B before filing.

Overview

GSTR-1 Is Not Just "Entering Your Total Sales"

The statutory framework for furnishing outward-supply details is provided under Section 37 of the CGST Act and Rule 59 of the CGST Rules. Depending on your business, GSTR-1 can contain B2B invoices, B2C supplies, exports, SEZ supplies, credit/debit notes, amendments, advances, HSN/SAC data and more.

Mismatches Affect the Recipient Too

Incorrect outward-supply reporting can create problems not only for you, but also for your customer's GST reconciliation and ITC records.

Not Every Taxpayer Files the Same Return

Input Service Distributors, non-resident taxable persons, composition taxpayers and specific TDS/TCS-covered persons may follow different return forms.

GSTR-1 ≠ GSTR-3B

GSTR-1 reports outward supplies; GSTR-3B reports summary liability, payment and ITC. The two should still reconcile with each other.

Coverage

What Can Be Reported in GSTR-1

Different transaction types have different reporting rules — the category should be identified correctly for each invoice.

01

B2B Invoices

Reported with the recipient's GSTIN — the buyer relies on this data for their own GST reconciliation.

02

B2C Supplies

Treatment depends on intra-/inter-State nature, value and applicable invoice- or consolidated-level rules.

03

Export Supplies

With or without payment of IGST — reconciled against shipping bills, LUT and GSTR-3B.

04

SEZ Supplies

Reported based on recipient GSTIN, SEZ status, supply type and tax payment/LUT treatment.

05

Deemed Exports

Reported only where the transaction genuinely satisfies the applicable legal conditions.

06

Credit & Debit Notes

Matched against the original invoice, accounting records and applicable GST treatment.

07

Amendments

Corrections to earlier-filed invoices, made through the applicable amendment mechanism.

08

Advances for Services

Advance received, tax liability and adjustment against the subsequent invoice, where applicable.

09

HSN / SAC & E-Commerce

Product/service classification, plus platform sales reconciled before filing — not uploaded as-is.

Filing Frequency

Monthly GSTR-1 vs Quarterly (QRMP)

QRMP — Quarterly Returns with Monthly Payments — is available to eligible taxpayers, subject to the applicable turnover and conditions.

FeatureMonthly FilersQRMP (Quarterly)
GSTR-1 FrequencyEvery monthOnce a quarter

Documents & Information

What You Should Keep Ready

The exact records depend on your transaction types, but the following are commonly required.

GSTIN & Sales Register
Tax Invoices
Credit & Debit Notes
Export Invoices & Shipping Bills
E-Invoice / E-Way Bill Data
Previous GSTR-1 & Amendments

For e-commerce sellers, the marketplace settlement report should not be uploaded directly — it needs to be reconciled with orders, returns, cancellations and TCS data first to determine actual taxable turnover.

Clear Expectations

What GSTR-1 Filing Does Not Mean

GSTR-1 reports outward supplies — it does not by itself calculate or settle your tax payment.

The same thing as GSTR-3B (tax payment/ITC)
An editable filed return, once submitted
Optional, just because there were no sales
A single fixed late fee for every taxpayer
Correctable through GSTR-1A after GSTR-3B is filed
A marketplace settlement figure treated as turnover

FAQs
