Taxpayers issuing e-invoices can now benefit from auto-population of their invoice details directly into the relevant tables of GSTR-1. This feature, which began for some from December 2020, operates on a T+3 day basis, meaning data uploaded on one day appears in GSTR-1 three days later. While most e-invoices are processed, certain common issues or data structure errors may prevent auto-population, with these details being available in a downloadable Excel file for correction.

FAQ :
The auto-population feature allows details from e-invoices, issued with an Invoice Reference Number (IRN), to be automatically filled into the respective tables of GSTR-1 and other GST returns like GSTR-2A, 2B, 4A, and 6A.
For taxpayers who started e-invoicing from 1st October 2020, the auto-population of e-invoice data into GSTR-1 began from December 3rd, 2020.
The data in GSTR-1 is available on a T+3 day basis. For example, e-invoice data uploaded on the 18th of a month will be visible in GSTR-1 on the 21st of that month.
If your GSTR-1 for a particular month has already been filed, details of newly processed e-invoices for that period will be available in a consolidated Excel file downloadable from the GSTR-1 dashboard, marked with an error description like 'Return already filed'.
Common reasons include the supplier being an ISD, NRTP, TCS, or TDS entity; the supplier being a composition taxpayer; document dates being inconsistent with registration or cancellation dates; or invoices incorrectly showing 'IGST on Intra-state supply' without reverse charge.
After viewing the auto-populated data, taxpayers must verify its propriety and accuracy in each field, especially concerning GSTR-1 requirements, before filing the return.
