Every table, named the way the portal names it.
Built from one ledger, and held against the offline tool’s own format rules before it is offered. Monthly or quarterly under QRMP, with the invoice furnishing facility in the first two months of a quarter.
Registered buyers
One row per invoice, with items grouped by rate rather than by source line, which is what GSTR-1 expects and what most exports do not give you.
A bill book in the same return as the marketplaces.
The one kind of file read by a model, because no rule can read handwriting, and the one that has to earn its way in. The free plan reads 5 photographed bills a month.
Which credit you can claim, bill by bill.
Since January 2022 credit can be taken only on invoices in your GSTR-2B (section 16(2)(aa), rule 36(4)). Each bill is matched on the supplier’s GSTIN and the bill number, and every document is told which side it is on.
A draft built from the documents, held against the portal’s own.
GSTR-3B is not output minus input. Its outward half is the month’s GSTR-1, its credit half is what the GSTR-2B makes available, with what the business reverses in between.
Not in the draft: imports of services, interest and late fee, and credit from earlier months. The late fee has its own free calculator.
What each marketplace reported about you, before you file.
Every marketplace files a GSTR-8. Drop the portal’s TCS credit statement beside the month’s files, as Excel, and each operator’s figure is compared with your own, state by state; the PDF names no operator, so it checks the total. On real months every difference was accounted for.
The checked month, as Tally’s import file.
The books and the return become one set of figures. The sales files were tested by importing into a TallyPrime 7.1 company; import into a copy of yours the first time.
Every client’s month on one board.
Where marketplace exports mislead, and what we do about it.
None of these produces an error. Each produces a return that balances against itself and is wrong.
The parts that matter in month nine.
