Special Instructions

  2. For invoices containing multiple line items invoice level details like GSTIN/UIN, Invoice Number, Invoice Date and Place of Supply should be repeated for all the line items, in the absence of the same system will not accept those items.
  3. Taxable Value, Rate and cess amount as applicable to the line items may be different in the same invoice.
  4. On successful import of the data from the excel file to the offline utility tool, the tool takes care of proper placement of the same in the return format
  5. In this first version worksheets are not being provided for uploading amendment details as these are not expected in the first GST return. Those will be provided in the next version.
  6. In the top of  each excel worksheet , there is a summary row which gives the count or total of  the key columns to help in reconciliation.
  7. The worksheets have some data as example. Please delete the data from all worksheets before use.

  10. Ensure that there are no stray entries in any cell of the sheets other than return related declaration under the indicated column headers.
  11. It is advisable that separate excel sheets be prepared for each month with the name having month name  as a part of it's name. In case of multiple uploads for a  month, the file name may be classified as Part A, Part B etc  to avoid confusion.
  12. Before importing the excel file in the offline tool for a particular tax period, it is advisable that the taxpayer should delete if any existing data of that tax period by clicking "Delete All Data"  tab in the  Java Offline Tool. If  any data remains in the tool will overwrite the existing data.
  13. If one uploads the JSON file for a tax period with  the same invoice number but differing  details again,  the later invoice details will overwrite the earlier details.
