Documents issued in GSTR 1

Hi Kishore,

Regarding documents issued in GSTR-1, here’s the clarity:

Is it mandatory to fill “Documents Issued” in GSTR-1?

• Yes, it is mandatory to report all outward supplies including invoices, debit/credit notes, and any other documents issued against supply in GSTR-1.

• The “Documents Issued” section captures details such as Invoice-wise details of Debit and Credit Notes issued during the month.

What if you don’t fill this?

• Non-reporting or incorrect reporting can lead to mismatch issues with the recipient’s GSTR-2A/2B, affecting their Input Tax Credit (ITC) claim.

• It can also attract notices and penalties from the GST department.

Penalties for non-compliance:

• Late filing or non-filing of GSTR-1 attracts a late fee of Rs. 50 per day (Rs. 25 CGST + Rs. 25 SGST) up to a maximum of Rs. 5,000.

• Incorrect or incomplete details may lead to demand notices or penalties under GST provisions.

Best practice:

• Always fill all the required details including documents issued in GSTR-1 timely and accurately to avoid issues.
