GST Filing Dashboard
See which GST returns are filed, pending or overdue for each month of the year, and fetch the latest status from the GST portal.
The GST Filing Dashboard shows one grid for the whole financial year. Each row is a return (GSTR-1, GSTR-1A, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2B, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C). Each column is a month or a quarter. The status comes from the GST portal when you fetch it.
Before you start
- GST registration must be on. See GST Configuration.
- Link your GST portal account with OTP on the GST Configuration page. Fetching does not work without it.
Check your filing status
- Open Reports > Statutory (GST) > GST Filing Dashboard.
- Pick the financial year in the year box at the top.
- Choose Monthly or Quarterly, to match how you file.
- Stay on the Return Summary tab. Read the grid row by row.
- To get the latest status for a GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B cell, click Fetch in that cell. The cell updates when the portal replies.
- Click the refresh icon at the top to reload the whole grid.
Under each status, the cell shows the date it was last fetched. If the return is filed, the ARN is shown too. Point at it to see the full ARN.
What each status means
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Filed | The portal says this return is filed. |
| Nil Filed | A nil return was filed. |
| Late Filed | Filed after the due date. |
| Pending or Due | Not filed yet. |
| Overdue | Nothing has been fetched and the due date has passed. |
| Not Fetched | The period has started but you have not fetched its status yet. |
| — | The period has not started yet, or the return does not apply to this column. |
Overdue is worked out by Arthlekha from the normal due date. It does not know about date extensions. Click Fetch to see the real status before you act on it.
Open a return
- Click the small open icon in a GSTR-1, GSTR-1A or GSTR-3B cell (Open report page). The return's own page opens for that month.
- The GSTR-2B row has no Fetch button. It shows Fetched or Not Fetched. When fetched, it shows the invoice count and ITC amount. Click the open icon (Open GSTR-2B page) to load or reconcile 2B. See GSTR-2B.
- GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C appear only in the March (or Q4) column. They cannot be fetched from here.
See the year's GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B totals
The GSTR-1 Annual and GSTR-3B Annual tabs add up the fetched months into one table for the year.
- Click GSTR-1 Annual or GSTR-3B Annual.
- If some months are not fetched, a yellow note lists them. Click Go to Return Summary and fetch those months first, or the totals will be short.
- Click Export CSV or Download Workbook (.xlsx) to save the table.
Fetch full detail for the year
Use this to pull the detailed filed data for every filed month in one go.
- On the GSTR-1 Annual or GSTR-3B Annual tab, click Fetch Full Detail (FY).
- A window shows how many portal calls are needed (Estimated API calls or API calls needed). Each call to the portal may be charged by your GST service provider.
- Click Proceed. A progress bar shows each month.
- When it is done, check the list of months, then click Close & Refresh.
Parts already fetched are skipped, so it is safe to run again.
