Before uploading your GSTR-1, ensure that you have enabled API access on the GST portal.

Once you have enabled API requests, you can proceed to upload your GSTR-1.

1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > GSTR-1.
2. In the GSTR-1 report, select the return period and GST registration for which you want to upload your vouchers.
   In the Ready for Upload section, you can see the transactions that are pending for upload to the GST portal.
   
3. Press Alt+Z (Exchange) > Upload GST Returns > GSTR-1.
4. In the Upload GST Returns screen, press F12 (Configure) to add the required options, such as Party GSTIN/UIN, GST Status, and the Sections as per the GST portal.
   Tip: The GST Status column will help you view the status of the transaction, such as Uploaded, Mismatched and Rejected by GST Portal.
5. Press Ctrl+B (Basis of Values) to configure further options, as per your business needs.
   1. Include transactions mismatching with GST data: This option will help you re-upload the mismatched transactions after making the necessary updates in your books.
   2. Include transactions where Upload is in progress: This option will help you re-upload the transactions for which upload is already in progress.
   3. Include transactions Rejected by GST Portal: This option will help you re-upload the rejected transactions after making the necessary updates in your books.
   4. Include Delete Requests: This option will help you delete those transactions from the portal that are already deleted from your books.

   If you want to upload all the vouchers, then you do not have to select any of the vouchers.
   
7. Press S (Send) to upload.
8. Log in to your GST profile, if you have not already done so.
   1. Enter your GST Username.
      
   2. Enter the OTP received on your registered mobile number, after which your vouchers will be exported to the GST portal.
      
      Once you have logged in, the session will be valid for six hours, which will ensure the safety and security of your activities.

You will receive the confirmation once the upload is complete.

The uploaded vouchers will now be moved to the No Action Required section.

Based on your recent activities, you can always see your last online GST activity in the top right corner of the report.

Upload in Progress

Sometimes, some of your vouchers might not get instantly uploaded on the GST portal. This can happen due to server-related issues or higher traffic on the GST portal. These transactions will be saved in the Upload in Progress section in GSTR-1.

In such cases, you can easily refresh the GST status of the vouchers after some time.

Resolve Vouchers Rejected by GST Portal

Sometimes, some of your vouchers might get rejected by the GST portal, if any of the information happens to be incomplete or incorrect. For example, the GSTIN of a party might be inactive, invalid or suspended, or the HSN or tax rate might be incorrect.

However, with the Connected GST experience, you can easily identify such issues and resolve them in a seamless manner.

1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > GSTR-1.
2. Drill down from Rejected by GST Portal.
   You can view the vouchers and summaries rejected by the portal, along with the Reason for Rejection.
   
   Let us take an example where the GSTIN of the party is inactive.
3. Open the voucher.
   

   To view the GST Portal View of the invoice, press Ctrl+O (Portal View). You will get a clearer view of the invoice details recorded on the portal, along with the Reason for Rejection.

4. In Party A/c name, press Ctrl+Enter to open and update the party ledger.
   1. Set the Registration type to Unregistered/Consumer, if this is a B2C transaction.
      On the other hand, if this is a B2B transaction, then you can update the correct GSTIN/UIN.
      
   2. Enter the Effective Date.
   3. Press Ctrl+A to save the details.
5. In the voucher, under Party Details, select the GST Registration type to Unregistered/Consumer.
   
6. Press Ctrl+A to save the voucher.

In this way, you can easily resolve any other rejections from the GST portal and upload them again, as per your convenience.

Manage e-Invoice Requirements During Upload

The current e-Invoicing feature will continue to take care of your e-Invoicing needs. You don’t have to worry about uploading your e-Invoices separately. In GSTR-1, the e-Invoices that are already uploaded will appear under the No Action Required section.

However, the Upload feature comes with many flexibilities to meet your e-Invoicing requirements. You can upload your transactions with or without e-Invoices, as needed, or upload the e-Invoices that are available only in your books and not on the portal.

In this section

• Upload with e-Invoices
• Upload e-Invoices Available Only in Books

Upload with e-Invoices

You can choose to upload your transactions with or without e-Invoices by simply configuring the relevant option during upload.

1. Press Alt+Z (Exchange) > Upload GST Returns > GSTR-1.
