The GST filing week, in one sitting

Around the 7th: close the month's entries, read the GSTR-1 that built itself, act on 2B/IMS, check 3B and hand off — checking, not compiling.

Around the 7th, every GST-registered business runs the same week. In Finocket the returns build themselves from your invoices, so the week goes on checking them.

The week starts on the Compliance calendar, where every GST, TDS and income-tax date sits with the rule it came from beside it. Your compliance calendar explains the five views, the filters and what a date that reads Not yet sourced means.

  1. Close the month's entries

    Sweep the day book for stragglers and reconcile the bank so collections and expenses are all in.
  2. Read GSTR-1 before you file it

    GST returns shows GSTR-1 built from your invoices, with mixed-rate invoices split per rate and the HSN summary attached.
  3. Reconcile 2B and act on IMS

    The 2B screen matches supplier invoices to your purchases; record accept / reject / pending per invoice the way the portal expects, and your eligible ITC totals honestly.
  4. Check 3B and hand off

    The 3B summary reads from the same books. File on the portal (or hand your CA the workings; every number drills to its source).
