GSTR-1 Summary
Total taxable
₹20,15,650
The first week of every month used to be hell.
Suchitra is a CA in Chennai. She manages GSTR-1 filings for 30 small-business clients — kiranas, pharmacies, hardware shops, a sweet shop in T. Nagar whose owner still keeps a paper bill book.
Every month between the 1st and the 11th, her job was a treasure hunt. Chase clients for their invoice list. Open six different Excel templates. Fix the HSN code someone mistyped. Aggregate B2C sales by rate slab and state. Rebuild the table 12 HSN summary because somebody added a new product mid-month and didn't flag the rate.
The work itself wasn't hard. The work was glue-work — reconciling messy data from 30 different shops into one CBIC-shaped report. By the 11th she had a stack of filed returns and no weekend.
Now her clients run Wiseventory. On the 1st, she opens each client's GSTR-1 preview, scans for flags (rate mismatches, missing GSTINs), and exports the JSON. Her March batch was done by the 4th.
Every table the GST portal asks for
Built from the invoices you make through the month — no separate data entry, no end-of-month rebuild.
Table 4 — B2B invoices
Every invoice with a customer GSTIN lands here, with HSN per line and the right CGST/SGST or IGST split. Reverse charge invoices go to 4B.
Table 5 + Table 7 — B2C
Interstate B2C above ₹2.5 lakh shows in Table 5. Everything else gets aggregated into Table 7 by state and rate slab — exactly the way the portal expects.
Table 12 — HSN summary
Wiseventory rolls up your sales by HSN code, total quantity, taxable value, and tax. The most-fixed table on filing day. Now it just shows up correct.
Tables 9 + 11 — amendments & advances
Edits to past-period invoices flow into Table 9. Advances received and adjusted show in Table 11. No spreadsheet calisthenics required.
Monthly or quarterly — both work
Wiseventory auto-detects your filing frequency from your business profile. The QRMP scheme isn't a separate feature — it just works.
Monthly filers
Turnover above ₹5 crore in the previous year, or you opted out of QRMP. GSTR-1 is due by the 11th of the next month.
- Monthly summary previewable from day 1
- JSON download per month
QRMP (quarterly)
Turnover up to ₹5 crore. Returns are quarterly but payments stay monthly. GSTR-1 is due by the 13th of the month after the quarter.
- Quarterly aggregation (Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep...)
- IFF (Invoice Furnishing Facility) for B2B
Four steps from invoice to GSTR-1 filed
Most months you'll spend more time logging into the GST portal than preparing the data.
Bill through the month
Every Wiseventory invoice is GSTR-1 ready by construction. Customer GSTIN, HSN, place of supply, tax split — all captured at sale time.
Preview the summary
Open the GSTR-1 view. See B2B, B2CL, B2CS, and HSN summary at a glance. Wiseventory flags rate mismatches and missing GSTINs before you file.

“I manage 30 clients. The first week of every month used to be a write-off — chasing Excel files, fixing HSN summaries, rebuilding tables from scratch. Last month I finished the whole GSTR-1 batch on the 4th. I'd given up on having weekends in March.”
