Export and Upload GSTR-1

Package generation is available only for the current GSTR-1 preparation with zero blockers and reconciled totals.

Generate and download the package

Section titled “Generate and download the package”
Create the controlled export
  1. Open GST → GST Compliance, select GST Registration and Review period, then open Returns → GSTR-1.
  2. Confirm the selected preparation is current, its snapshot is current, Blockers is zero and the period remains Locked.
  3. Select Generate filing package.
  4. When generation finishes, select Download latest package.
  5. Store the ZIP in the access-controlled filing location approved by your business.

The filename follows GSTR1_GSTIN_PERIOD_VVERSION.zip, for example GSTR1_29ABCDE1234F1ZW_202607_V1.zip. The ZIP contains:

  • gstr1-upload.json for the supported GST Portal upload workflow;
  • gstr1-working.xlsx for section review;
  • gstr1-summary.pdf for a readable control summary;
  • validation-report.xlsx for blockers and warnings; and
  • manifest.json with package identity and file checks.

The page shows the latest package’s generation time, size, download count and SHA-256 fingerprint. Private download links expire after ten minutes; select download again to obtain a new authorized link.

Verify before upload

Section titled “Verify before upload”

Open the working workbook, summary and validation report. Match GSTIN, period, preparation version, totals, sections, invoice and credit-note counts, HSN/SAC summary and document series to the approved evidence. Do not edit gstr1-upload.json by hand to bypass a blocker.

Upload through the GST Portal

Section titled “Upload through the GST Portal”
Complete the external upload and review
  1. Sign in to the official GST Portal independently using your business’s authorized account.
  2. Open the portal’s current GSTR-1 offline/upload workflow for the same GSTIN and filing period.
  3. Upload gstr1-upload.json from the Yepsta ZIP.
  4. Wait for portal processing, then review the portal-generated summary and every validation response.
  5. Correct rejected data at its operational source. Rebuild Yepsta evidence instead of editing the JSON.
  6. Complete submission and filing on the GST Portal only after your authorized reviewer approves the portal result.
  7. Retain the statutory acknowledgement outside Yepsta according to your records policy.

GST Portal labels and screens can change. Follow the current official portal instructions and your accountant’s approved filing procedure.

Record manual portal activity

Section titled “Record manual portal activity”

After a package exists, a Lock-authorized user can select Record portal status and choose Package downloaded, Uploaded to GST Portal, Portal accepted or Portal rejected. Add notes and, where useful, attach portal error JSON, acknowledgement, screenshot or PDF up to 5 MB.
