GSTR-1 Report

How to generate, read, and export the GSTR-1 outward supplies report

GSTR-1 Report

GSTR-1 is the monthly return of outward supplies that every registered GST taxpayer must file. The app pulls data from your invoices, classifies each one into the correct GSTR-1 table, and presents a ready-to-review summary. You still file the actual return on the GST portal — this report gives you the organised data you need to do that quickly and accurately.

How to Generate

Open Reports in the sidebar, then navigate to GST Reports → GSTR-1. Use the date-range picker to set the return period. The report generates automatically once a range is selected — there is no separate "Generate" button.

Report Header

The header displays:

  • Title — "GSTR-1 Summary"
  • Subtitle — "Outward Supplies for GST Filing"
  • Period label — "For the period DD MMM YYYY to DD MMM YYYY"
  • Back arrow — returns to the Reports hub
  • Print — prints the full on-screen report (no header-level Excel or CSV export)

Summary Cards

Four cards appear at the top of the report:

This table has no per-table export.

How Tables Work

Each table is a collapsible section. The header shows:

  • A badge with the table identifier (e.g. "Table 6A")
  • Invoice count badge
  • Taxable value total
  • Tax totals (IGST/CGST/SGST, when applicable)

Click the header to expand or collapse. Sections with zero invoices are hidden entirely — you will only see tables that have data.

Exporting Data

  • Per-table Excel exports are available for Table 6A and Table 4A (button appears when the section is expanded). Table 5 does not have a separate export.
  • Print from the report header to get the full report.
  • Export buttons require the reports.export permission.

When There's No Data

If no invoices fall within the selected period, the report shows an empty state with a Create Invoice link. Once you create invoices:

  • Export invoices appear in Table 6A
  • Domestic invoices with a buyer GSTIN appear in Table 4A
  • Inter-state invoices without GSTIN over ₹1L appear in Table 5

Filing Notes

The report includes a reference card at the bottom:

  1. Table 6A — Export of services under LUT (zero-rated, no GST)
  2. Table 4A — B2B supplies to registered businesses (requires GSTIN)
  3. Table 5 — Inter-state B2C supplies exceeding Rs. 1 lakh
  4. For software exports, use Port Code INSTP1 (STPI)
  5. Filing deadline: 11th of the following month

Tips

  • Review the report carefully before filing on the GST portal.
  • Verify that all buyer GSTINs are correct — mismatches cause reconciliation failures.
  • Check that export invoices have a valid LUT reference.
  • File GSTR-1 by the 11th of the following month to avoid late fees.
  • Run the report for one calendar month at a time to match the GST return period.
  • Cross-reference totals with your GSTR-3B report to ensure consistency.
  • GSTR-3B Report — Generate your monthly GSTR-3B summary return data for GST filing.
  • Date Ranges — Learn about the date picker presets and financial year options available across all reports.
