Quick Summary

FAQ :

The GST system currently validates only the Business-to-Business (B2B) section of Table-12 in GSTR-1.

Table-12 of GSTR-1 is used for the HSN-wise summary of outward supplies.

No, B2C (Business-to-Consumer) entries in Table-12 are not compulsory and do not undergo system validation.

Taxpayers can still proceed with filing their GSTR-1 even if B2C data is missing or incomplete, as it is not subject to validation.

For B2C entries in Table-12, the GST system allows any numerical value to be entered, or the field can be left blank.
