GST

GST, the way the portal wants it.

From the invoice through to the annual return, with a check before you file, so a wrong GSTIN is found here rather than on the portal.

Every return, built from your own bills.

Nothing is typed into a return twice. Each one reads the invoices, notes and purchases already in the books.

  • GSTR-1Outward suppliesB2B, B2C large and small, exports, nil-rated and exempt, credit and debit notes, and the amendment tables for a period already filed.
  • GSTR-3BThe summary returnWith tables 3.2 and 6.1, and the PMT-06 challan for a quarterly filer.
  • 2B · 2AWhat your suppliers filedReconciled against your purchases, so the input credit you claim is the credit you are entitled to.
  • GSTR-9The annual returnThe whole of it, table by table, read off the government's own offline utility.
  • HSNThe HSN summaryBuilt from the bills rather than typed, with the HSN and SAC master behind it.
Connected

Connected to the portal.

The software talks to the GST system through a government-licensed provider, so the statements you need come down into the books rather than being downloaded, opened and typed.

Switched on once, on your own GSTIN. The government requires the registered taxpayer to authorise it in their own account, and the software prints a sheet showing exactly what to do.

The return is prepared and checked here. Submitting it on the portal stays your step.

E-way bills, with the line drawn for you.

It knows Rule 138(1). Every consignment whose value, tax included, is over ₹50,000 is flagged before the goods move.

The E-Way Bill screen in Vertex ERP: 9 consignments above 50,000, with G73 for 52,758.00 marked Needed.
Nine consignments over ₹50,000 in the demo books; G73, for 52,758.00, still needs its bill.
Section 10

The place of supply is worked out, not asked.

Whether a sale is CGST and SGST or IGST follows the bill-to address under section 10, and the software decides it from the party rather than leaving it to whoever is keying. A wrong place of supply is still a valid one, so nothing else would catch it.

Pick a customer and watch the tax change heads.

  • The 180-day ruleInput credit reversed when a supplier has not been paid within 180 days, tracked rather than remembered.
  • Form 3CD, clause 44The break-up of expenditure a tax audit asks for, off the ledger.
