File with DSC:
Filing GSTR-1 with a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is mandatory for certain entities like companies and LLPs.
  1. Click on File with DSC.
  2. A prompt will appear; click Yes to continue.
  3. Ensure the DSC utility is installed on your system and your DSC token is connected.
  4. On the GST portal, select the appropriate Digital Signature registered under your GST account.
  5. Enter the PIN or password associated with your DSC.
  6. Once authenticated, your GSTR-1 return will be submitted, and an Acknowledgment Reference Number (ARN) will be generated.

After submission, your GSTR-1 return is successfully filed, whether using EVC or DSC. Make sure to keep the ARN for future reference as proof of submission.

By following these steps, you can efficiently file your GSTR-1 return using ExpressGST.
