Is the month ready to file?
GSTR-1 and 3B, built from your own bills — with every problem listed before you file, not after.
The Tuesday it gets opened
GSTR-1 by the 11th, 3B by the 20th. The CA asks for the sales register, then the purchase register against 2B.
The old way, stated fairly
A printout, an Excel export and an evening of reconciliation at the CA’s office — every month. The return goes in on faith; problems come back from the portal, cryptic and late.
How it earns its place
Checked before you file
Blockers are what the portal would reject; warnings are what somebody should look at. Every finding names its documents — a list is a morning’s work, a count is a scolding.
Two derivations, reconciled
The return is built from your documents, then checked against your own books. When two independent sums agree, the month is ready.
Set-off in the legal order
IGST credit first, CGST never against SGST — the wrong order pays cash a credit could have covered, cash that waits months for a refund.
July’s readiness lists one blocker: a buyer’s GSTIN failing its checksum on INV-0041 — a minute’s fix, because it is named. The document series is filled honestly by construction: numbers are allocated at issue, and a cancelled bill keeps its number.
What it refuses, and why
Software that explains its “no” is software an owner can trust.
Calling a month ready when books and documents disagree
One of them is wrong, and filing on faith makes the disagreement permanent.
Old bills in any GST figure
Bills brought forward were taxed under your old system. Filing them again is a wrong return, not a rounding error.
Netting credit-given-back into gross credit
The form asks for both figures — a silently shrunken gross would never agree with anybody’s 2B.
Connected on the thread
Nothing here stands alone — the same entry feeds these too.
