Possible Reasons: E-invoice not successfully uploaded to the GST portal: Generating an e-invoice on the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) is a separate process from filing GSTR-1. Sometimes the e-invoice is generated but not included in the GSTR-1 return. Delay in syncing data: There can be a delay between e-invoice generation and reflection in the GSTR-1 portal. Invoice not included in the return filing: Even if e-invoice is generated, the taxpayer must include the invoice details while filing GSTR-1 (either manually or through return filing software). Mismatch in invoice details: Invoice details might not match between the e-invoice system and GSTR-1 return, causing non-reflection. Solutions: Verify e-invoice status: Check the e-invoice portal (https://einvoice1.gst.gov.in/) to confirm that the invoice is generated and acknowledged with IRN and QR code. Ensure invoice is included in GSTR-1: While filing GSTR-1, ensure that the e-invoice details are included either through offline utility or return filing software. Check for errors during return filing: Errors or mismatch in invoice data can cause invoices to not be saved in GSTR-1. Rectify any such errors. Use offline utility for GSTR-1: If auto-sync is not happening, download the e-invoice data and upload it using GSTR-1 offline utility to ensure inclusion. Wait for system sync: Sometimes the GST portal takes a few hours or a day to sync data. Contact GST helpdesk: If the issue persists after filing return correctly, raise a ticket on GST helpdesk portal or contact your GST practitioner. Quick checklist for your client: Has the e-invoice been generated and IRN received? Are the e-invoice details properly uploaded/included while filing GSTR-1? Has the GSTR-1 return been filed successfully? Check for any return filing errors related to invoices.
