GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, worked out before you file.
Bring a client's sales and purchase registers, GSTR-2B and IMS for the month. Xegality builds the GSTR-1 sections, suggests an IMS action for every document and drafts the GSTR-3B with reversals, interest and set-off for a manager to approve.

What you can do with GST returns.
GSTR-1, section by section
B2B, B2CL, B2CS, credit and debit notes, exports, nil-rated supplies and the HSN and document summaries, built from the sales register.
Checks before it goes out
Duplicate invoice numbers, GSTIN check digits, place of supply against the tax head, rates outside the slabs in force and missing HSN codes.
IMS suggestions
Every document in IMS is matched to the purchase register and given a suggested action, accept, pending or reject, with the reason.
GSTR-3B draft
Tables 3.1, 3.2 and 4 from the month's data, with reversals for section 17(5), rules 37 and 37A, and rules 42 and 43.
Set-off, interest and late fee
Table 6.1 set-off in the order the law sets, section 50 interest on the cash part and the late fee, all worked out in plain code.
Every client at once
Managers run the month for all GST clients in one go. Composition clients and clients without data are marked as such, not guessed.
Every inward document gets a suggested action.
IMS and GSTR-2B documents are matched to the purchase register by number, then by a near number with the same value. Matches are suggested for acceptance; a supplier charging more tax, a bill booked later or a credit note is suggested for pending; an unknown supplier for reject. Blocked credit is flagged for reversal in Table 4B(1).

A working a manager approves, and you file.
The month's working goes to a manager for approval. Approval files nothing: it marks the working as reviewed. Download it as Excel, with the GSTR-1 sheets laid out like the GST Offline Tool's template (check them against the version you use), the IMS suggestions, the GSTR-3B, the set-off and every exception, then file on the GST portal yourself.

How GST returns works.
- 1.
Bring the month's data
Upload the sales and purchase registers, GSTR-2B and IMS, or let document requests and the Tally connector fill the period.
- 2.
Run the return
Xegality builds GSTR-1, the IMS suggestions and the GSTR-3B draft, and lists every exception with its evidence.
- 3.
Approve and file
A manager approves the working. You file on the GST portal and record the ARN on the filing desk.
Xegality prepares and checks the work, and a member of your practice reviews and approves it before anything reaches a client. Returns and forms are filed by you on the government portals: Xegality is not a GSP or ERI and never asks for your clients' portal passwords.
