Explore the latest GSTR-1 format, templates, filing process, due dates, and GST requirements. Learn how to prepare accurate returns and simplify GSTR-1 filing with the right billing software while staying fully GST compliant.
GSTR-1 is a GST return that every regular registered taxpayer must file to report their outward supplies (sales) of goods and services. It includes details such as B2B and B2C sales, exports, debit notes, credit notes, advances received, and HSN-wise summaries for a specific tax period.
The information submitted through GSTR-1 helps the GST portal update the buyer's Input Tax Credit (ITC) records and ensures accurate GST compliance for both businesses and customers.
Every invoice you generate using Raseed billing software automatically pushes relevant sales details into the internal tax register.
Compare your sales records with GST return data to identify missing invoices, mismatches, and discrepancies before submission.

Raseed features built-in calendar alerts that visually update you on upcoming regular or quarterly GSTR-1 due dates depending on your business type.

Every standard registered taxpayer who supplies goods, services, or both is legally obligated to file GSTR-1.
Missing deadlines break your downstream supply chain by delaying your customers' Input Tax Credit (ITC).
Monthly Filing: Taxpayers required to file GSTR-1 every month generally need to submit their return by the 11th of the following month.
Quarterly Filing (QRMP): Taxpayers enrolled under the QRMP scheme generally file GSTR-1 once every quarter and must submit their return within the prescribed due date.
Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF): Eligible QRMP taxpayers can use IFF during the first two months of a quarter to report eligible B2B invoice details before filing the quarterly GSTR-1.
GSTR-1A Amendments: Taxpayers can use GSTR-1A to add or amend eligible invoice details before filing GSTR-3B for the same tax period.
Delayed returns trigger automatic legal and financial penalties on the GST portal.
Standard Daily Penalty: A statutory late fee of ₹50 per day (divided equally as ₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) accumulates automatically for everyday a return stays pending past its deadline.
Nil Return Late Fee: If you have zero sales, transactions, or adjustments to report, missing the GSTR-1 due date still costs a mandatory reduced rate of ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST).
Minimum Turnover-Based Late Fee Caps: For nil returns total late fee absolute limit capped at ₹500. For turnover up to ₹1.5 Crore: Total maximum cap limited to ₹2,000.
Maximum Turnover-Based Late Fee: For turnover between ₹1.5 Crore and ₹5 Crore: Maximum cap limited to ₹5,000. For turnover above ₹5 Crore: Maximum cap limited to ₹10,000 per return document.
Automated Interest Matrix: Reporting historical sales invoices late triggers an automatic 18% per annum interest charge on the underlying tax liability, which must be cleared entirely through cash ledger balances.
E-Way Bill Blockade: If your outward statement remains outstanding for more than 15 days past its deadline, the portal blocks your ability to generate E-Way bills, freezing your logistics operations completely.
