Quick Summary

Taxpayers filing their GSTR-1 for May 2025 are encountering technical difficulties, primarily with Table 12 (HSN-wise summary for B2B supplies) and Table 13. A common error relates to a missing HSN-wise summary for B2B supplies, even when no such supplies were made, particularly for unregistered persons. A temporary workaround involves identifying the problematic HSN code and reporting it under B2B supplies with a nominal quantity and taxable value of ₹1, and a zero GST rate, to correctly reflect nil-rated supplies.

While filling GSTR-1, it has been noticed that many taxpayers facing technical issues while filing GST returns in May mainly due to problems in Table 12 (HSN-wise summary for B2B supplies) and Table 13 reporting.

HSN Summary Error

An error is noted regarding the missing HSN-wise summary for B2B supply in table number 12. But in some cases, there are no actual B2B supplies to report.

The issue pertains to unregistered persons - there is no entry for B2B supply, indicating error that no B2B supply HSN has been reported. In this case, no B2B supply was made, causing confusion regarding the error message.

What To do Now?

A Temporary Solution

Identify the HSN code causing the issue.
Select HSN code under B2B supplies in Table 12 if you have any nil rated supply.
Enter a nominal quantity and a taxable value of ₹1 with the GST rate set to zero, reflecting the nil-rated supply correctly.

It is recommended only because the deadline is 11th June 2025, hoping the department resolves the issue earlier.
