Why These Validations Are Important
GSTR-1 JSON files must follow specific formats and validation rules before they can be uploaded to the GST Portal. The built-in validations in WebPlanex-GST Invoice India App help identify common data issues before you download and file the report.
Please make sure all GSTINs, invoice numbers, HSN/SAC codes, GST rates, and Place of Supply information are accurate before generating the final JSON file.
With these validations in place, you can generate your GSTR-1 JSON report more easily and accurately, reducing the chances of validation errors during GST filing.
