1) Export GSTR-3B in JSON format
You can now directly export GSTR-3B form in JSON format from Release 6.3 and upload it to the GST portal. If you prefer to view the GSTR-3B in MS Excel before uploading, you can do so as well. Download the GSTR-3B Offline Utility from the GST portal. Tally.ERP 9 exports details of the transactions into the GSTR-3B MS Excel form. Click on Validate button in the form. Upon successful validation, you can generate the form in JSON and upload it to the portal.
2) Print invoices with item-wise and rate-wise breakups
Make your customers happier by printing invoices with complete item-wise and rate-wise tax breakup details. You can see tax details (CGST, IGST, SGST, Cess) individually for each line item. Press F12 > Enable Print Item-wise GST details. Tally.ERP 9 automatically changes the print setting to Landscape.
3) Generate quarterly GSTR-1 returns
As per the announcements made in the 23rd GST Council Meeting, regular dealers with turnover less than 1.5 Cr have to file GSTR-1 on a quarterly basis. As soon as this feature is enabled in the GST portal, you can generate your quarterly GSTR-1 return from Tally.ERP 9 Release 6.3 as well. In Gateway of Tally, F11 > F3 > Statutory details. Choose: Set/alter GST details. A new option, Periodicity of GSTR-1 is available. Select Quarterly here.
4) Inclusion of Interest and Late Fees payable
Tally.ERP 9 Release 6.3 has enhanced the GSTR-3B with a new inclusion of Table 5.1 Interest and Late Fees Payable. You can record details of any interest or late fees that you might have to pay here and keep your books updated.
