GSTR-1

GSTR-1 is the GST return in which a registered taxpayer reports the details of all outward supplies, or sales, made during a period.

GSTR-1 is the statement of sales. The data a seller files here flows into the recipients' auto-drafted credit statements, so accurate and timely filing is essential for buyers to claim input tax credit. It is filed monthly or quarterly depending on turnover.

Because GSTR-1 feeds the entire credit chain, mismatches between a supplier's GSTR-1 and a buyer's claimed credit are a common trigger for notices. Many taxpayers now use the Invoice Furnishing Facility and e-invoicing to keep this return aligned with their actual transactions.
