Common Causes and Fixes for Offline GSTR-1 Utility Errors Date Format Make sure all dates (invoice date, note date, etc.) are in the correct format: DD-MM-YYYY (e.g., 15-07-2025). Check for blank or invalid dates. Mandatory Fields Ensure all required fields are filled for each invoice/note. Fields like invoice number, taxable value, GST rate, etc., cannot be blank. Invoice Number Invoice number should be a valid non-zero, non-negative value. No special characters or blank spaces. Taxable Value & Gross Advance Taxable value and gross advance received should be ≥ 0. Zero value is allowed only where applicable (like gross advance can be 0). No negative values allowed. Negative or Invalid Amounts Check for any negative values in invoice amount, taxable value, or tax amount fields — these are invalid. Correct any such entries. HSN Code Verify the HSN code against the latest GST HSN master list. Use valid HSN codes applicable for your goods/services. HSN codes not listed in GST system will cause errors. Excel Sheet Validation Do not delete columns or headers in the offline utility. Use only the provided templates without structural changes. Check Rows Mentioned The error message says rows 5 to 30 have issues — carefully check these rows in your Excel sheet for the above points.
