Switch from Vyapar to HelloBooks

Vyapar generates GST bills and reports but does not file returns. HelloBooks Free keeps the billing and adds GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing for one GSTIN.

GST filing included, no card

Export and import in five steps

Choose a start date at a month end so your GST periods do not overlap.

  • From Vyapar, export your party list, item list and a closing trial balance or balance sheet as at the start date as spreadsheets. Menu names change between versions; Vyapar's help centre has the current path.
  • Save each file as CSV, keeping GSTIN and HSN columns.
  • Import parties, items, chart of accounts and opening balances into HelloBooks.
  • Enter invoices and bills still unpaid at the start date.
  • Bill in HelloBooks from the start date and file the next GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from it.

What changes after the switch

Billing feels familiar: parties, items with HSN codes, invoices and purchase bills. The new part is at month end, when the return is prepared from those invoices and filed from the same screen instead of being handed to someone else as a report.

Keep Vyapar data for earlier periods

Returns already filed stay as filed. Keep your Vyapar reports for any period before the start date in case you need them for an assessment or your CA.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Vyapar file GST returns?
Generates GST bills and reports but does not file returns. (checked September 2026.)
How long does the move take?
For a small shop, an afternoon: export the lists, import them, and key in the invoices still unpaid. Pick a month end so no period is split.
Can I keep using Vyapar for a month alongside?
You can, but file each GST period from only one system. The cleanest route is to bill in HelloBooks from the start date.
