Recently, a new functionality has been enabled on GST portal i.e. at the time of generating E-way bill for outward supply, the taxpayers enter the details of outward supplies such as invoice number, date, quantity, value, Tax, HSN code and Consignee GSTIN etc. But, now the taxpayers can easily import these details of outward supply invoices, as indicated in the E-Way Bill, at the time of preparation of Form GSTR-1, by clicking the “Import EWB Data” button, on the GST portal.
A new button “Import EWB Data” has been added on the GST portal, in the following titles of the Form GSTR-1 page as follows:
• 4A, 4B, 4C, 6B, 6C – B2B invoices.
• 5A, 5B – B2C (Large) invoices.
• 12 – HSN wise summary of outward supplies.
