### How do I file GSTR-1 from Zoho Invoice?

Filing GSTR-1 involves three steps:

*   Uploading transactions to the GSTN portal.
*   Submitting GSTR-1.
*   Filing GSTR-1.

#### Step-1: Uploading transactions to the GSTN portal

The first step is to upload your transactions to the GSTN portal. Before uploading your transactions to the GSTN, you can view the list of transactions that haven’t been pushed, by following these steps:

*   Log in to your Zoho Invoice Organization.
*   Go to **GST Filing**.
*   Click the number below **Unpushed Transactions**. You can view
    *   The list of transactions segregated based on the business type under the **Transaction summary**. 
    *   The HSN summary of the transactions for the specified month in the **HSN** tab. 
    *   The summary of Nil-rated outward supplies in the **Nil** tab.
    *   The transactions corresponding to the Table 7 of GSTR-1 in the **B2CS** tab.    
    *   The details of the documents you are about to upload to the GSTN in the **Documents Issued** tab.

Currently, you will have to enter the details manually before uploading it to the GSTN. You can do that by following these steps:

*   Go to **GST Filing**.
*   Click the number below **UNPUSHED**.
*   Go to the **Push to GSTN** tab and click **Documents issued**.
*   Click **Edit**.
*   Enter the details of the documents to be uploaded and click **Save**.
*   You can also click the **Clone** option to enter the details of transactions in another sequence.

Once done, you can now Push the transactions to the GSTN. To do that, please follow these steps:

*   Go to **GST Filing**.
*   Click **Push to GSTN**.
*   On the popup that appears, enter all the required details and click **Push to GSTN**.
*   A one-time password (OTP) will be sent to your GST registered mobile number/email address.
*   Enter it in the popup that follows and click **Verify OTP**.

Once the transactions have been successfully pushed and uploaded in GST portal, you will receive a confirmation email and a notification in Zoho Invoice. If there are any errors, you can view the failed transactions from the **Failed Transactions** tab in the **Push To GSTN** section. Edit the corresponding transactions and re-push them.

#### Step-2: Submitting GSTR-1

**Note:** Submitting your GSTR-1 will freeze the data you’ve uploaded to the GSTN and you will not be able to edit or upload new transactions for the specified tax period. Hence, we recommend you to preview and submit your return directly from the GSTN portal.

You can submit your GSTR-1 by following these steps:

*   Log in to the [GST portal](https://www.gst.gov.in/).
*   Go to **Return Dashboard** under _Dashboard_.
*   Select the _Financial Year_ and _Return Filing Period_, then click **Search**.
*   Click **Prepare Online** corresponding to _Details of Outward supplies of Goods or services (GSTR-1)_.
*   Select **Preview** to review your return and click **Proceed**.
*   Click **Submit** to freeze the transactions.

#### Step-3: Filing GSTR-1

The final step is to file your GSTR-1 return from the GSTN portal. Here’s how to do it:

*   Log in to the [GST portal](https://www.gst.gov.in/).
*   Go to **Return Dashboard** under _Dashboard_.
*   Select the _Financial Year_ and _Return Filing Period_, then click **Search**.
*   Click **Prepare Online** corresponding to _Details of Outward supplies of Goods or services (GSTR-1)_.
*   Click **File GSTR-1 with DSC** to file the return using digital signature or click **File GSTR-1 with EVC** to file your return through an OTP sent to your Aadhar linked mobile number.
