File your GSTR-1

This walkthrough details how to extract compliance data from GST Manager to prepare your statutory outward supplies return.

Understanding GSTR-1

GSTR-1 is the mandatory return for outward supplies. GST Manager compiles all taxable transactions into standardized CSV files for direct reconciliation or upload.

Step 1 — Check the filing deadline

1. Navigate to GST Manager → Dashboard.
2. Locate the GSTR-1 due countdown timer to confirm your filing cutoff date.
3. Open GST Manager → Reports to initiate data export.

GST Manager → Reports

Step 2 — Configure the reporting period

Set the date parameters under GST Manager → Reports:

• Adjust the From and To date pickers to cover your target tax period (e.g. current month or quarter).
• Ensure date bounds align with your statutory filing frequency.

Step 3 — Download the GSTR-1 CSV

1. Locate the GSTR-1 (B2B & B2C) report card.
2. Click Download CSV.
3. Inspect the exported file using the Section column:
   • B2B rows: Transactions with validated customer GSTINs. Map these records to Table 4A of your GSTR-1 return.
   • B2C rows: Transactions without a registered GSTIN. Map these records to Table 7 (B2C Others) of your GSTR-1 return.

Step 4 — Export companion datasets

Download supplementary exports for comprehensive reconciliation:

• Export invoices: Filtered to international transactions (billing country outside India) for zero-rated export reporting in Table 6A.
• Legacy — all paid invoices: Complete ledger of domestic and international transactions for total revenue reconciliation.
