IMPORTANT NOTICE

Below change are applicable for G2B users

In this release “Submit” API will be replaced with “Proceed to file (PTF)” in GSTR1. Now, on calling the “Procced to File” API , summary for that return period will be generated. Unlike Submit where return period freezes after doing submit, after doing Proceed to File user is still allowed to save invoices and perform PTF again to generate latest summary.

Summary is divided into two types. Long and Short Summary. By default, as response to “Get GSTR1 Summary” API short summary will be returned. Short summary will contain only section wise summary and will not have counterparty wise summary. For filing only short summary will be accepted, so only short summary should be sent in filing payload. Long Summary will contain counter party wise summary and it can be used to show counter party wise summary.

Below will be the new flow till Filing for GSTR1

GSRT1 Save APIs -> All – New Proceed to File -> GSTR1 – Get GSTR1 Summary -> GSTR1 – File GSTR1
