GSTR-1 Filing Guide 2025: Step-by-Step Process for Businesses

GSTR-1 is a monthly or quarterly return that every GST-registered business must file to report outward supplies (sales). If you have turnover above ₹5 crore, you file monthly by the 11th. Under QRMP scheme, quarterly by the 13th after quarter end.

What to Report in GSTR-1

  • B2B Invoices — All invoices to registered businesses (GST-to-GST). Include GSTIN of buyer, invoice number, date, value, place of supply, and tax amounts.
  • B2C Large (B2CL) — Inter-state invoices to unregistered buyers above ₹2.5 lakh. State-wise reporting required.
  • B2C Small (B2CS) — All other B2C supplies — intra-state and small inter-state. Consolidated state-wise reporting.
  • HSN Summary (Table 12) — Summary of all supplies by HSN code. Mandatory based on turnover slab.
  • Credit/Debit Notes — All CDNs issued during the period, whether to registered or unregistered buyers.
  • Nil/Exempted/Zero-Rated Supplies — To be reported under separate tables.

Common Errors to Avoid

✗ Wrong HSN Code — Use the correct 4 or 8 digit HSN as per your product category. Mismatched HSN leads to reconciliation issues.
✗ Wrong Place of Supply — For inter-state supplies, ensure the state code in GSTIN of buyer matches the POS entered.
✗ Missing Invoices — All invoices within the tax period must be reported. Missing invoices create 2A/2B mismatches for buyers.
