GST return filing that builds itself from your books

Filing a GST return should not mean re-keying numbers into the portal. Modern GST return filing software derives the return from the transactions you already recorded, reconciles input credit against what your vendors uploaded, and files straight to the GSTN — so the return is a review step, not a data-entry step.

HelloBooks builds GSTR-1 (outward supplies), GSTR-3B (summary and payment), and GSTR-9 (annual) from your books, and files them directly to the GSTN.

HelloBooks files GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B directly to the GSTN — no exporting JSON, logging into the portal, and uploading by hand. Each registration files independently, so on Pro and above a business with several GSTINs files every one from one login.

• GSTR-1 outward-supply return derived from your sales invoices
• GSTR-3B summary and tax payment prepared from the period’s books
• GSTR-9 annual return assembled from the year’s filings
• Direct submission to the GSTN

HelloBooks builds each return from your books and files.

Input-tax credit is only as safe as your 2A/2B match. HelloBooks reconciles your purchase register against GSTR-2A and 2B nightly, flags missing or mismatched invoices, and surfaces the variance before you file GSTR-3B — so you claim the credit you are entitled to and not the credit a vendor forgot to upload.

• Nightly 2A/2B sync against the purchase register
• Missing, mismatched and excess-credit invoices flagged
• Rule 37/42/43 ITC reversal tracking
• Variance visible before the 3B is filed, not after

For a group with registrations across states, every GSTIN keeps its own books, ITC ledger and return trail, with a single consolidated P&L for management. Place-of-supply is derived from the buyer’s GSTIN, so intra-state sales post CGST + SGST and inter-state sales post IGST automatically, and the same split flows into GSTR-3B Table 3.1.

Composition-scheme businesses file CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually instead of GSTR-1/3B — HelloBooks switches the return cadence automatically based on the registration type.

Same rate. Different heads.

Intra-state supply

Supplier and place of supply in the same state

• CGST 9% = ₹900 (to the Centre)
• SGST 9% = ₹900 (to the State)
• Total GST ₹1,800 on the invoice

Split equally between Centre and State

or

Inter-state supply

Place of supply in a different state (and imports/exports)

• IGST 18% = ₹1,800 (collected by the Centre)
• Settled to the destination state
• IGST credit used against IGST first, then CGST / SGST

One integrated tax, destination-based

Example: ₹10,000 taxable at 18%.

For businesses above the e-invoicing threshold, the IRN generated on NIC and the e-way bills raised from the same invoice record flow straight into GSTR-1 — so the return reflects what actually moved, with no separate reconciliation between your e-invoice log, your EWB register, and your GST return.
