GST & compliance

File with the errors already found

Twenty-seven GST screens: the returns, the reconciliations, and the checks that catch a problem while it is still one edit rather than a revised return.

What GST does

  • The returns

    GSTR-1 with per-section drill-downs, GSTR-3B, the GSTR-9 annual return and ITC-04 job work — each exportable as a filing-shaped JSON artifact for the offline tool or your GSP.

  • Reconciliation that names the row

    2B reconciliation matches your inward register against the portal download and tells you which invoice is missing on which side, not just that a total differs.

  • Errors caught before filing

    Place-of-supply mismatches, duplicate invoice numbers, rate anomalies, invalid or too-shallow HSN, and a Table-12 pre-check that reports exactly what the portal would reject.

  • The tariff, on board

    The full HSN/SAC directory with a finder, chapter analytics and a bulk clean-up desk that proposes a fix per flagged code and never applies one on its own.

AI capabilities

The numbers are computed by tested engines. The model only writes the words — so with AI switched off, every figure on this page is still there.
  • Explain my GST

    Computed

    A plain-English read of the period’s liability and set-off, computed first and narrated second.

Questions

Does it file directly to the portal?+

It generates government-format JSON ready for upload through the offline tool or your GSP. Direct portal filing needs your own GSP credentials.

Does e-invoicing generate an IRN?+

It generates the e-invoice request JSON to the NIC schema. Obtaining the IRN and signed QR requires a connected GSP/IRP account.

Is GST in both the Desktop and Cloud editions?+

Yes — GST ships in both the Desktop Suite and the Cloud Suite. The Desktop edition runs it against a local database on your own machine with the network unplugged; the Cloud edition runs it in the browser with roles, approvals and an audit trail over the same books. You choose the edition when you sign up, and the application is the same one either way.

What does GST actually include?+

GSTR-1, 3B, 9, 2B reconciliation and the HSN directory. In practice that means the returns, reconciliation that names the row, errors caught before filing and the tariff, on board — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.

Does GST work with the rest of LekhaPro, or is it separate?+

It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. GST reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.

What else comes with GST?+

GST sits in the Finance group of the catalogue, alongside Accounts, Billing & Invoicing, Banking, Expenses and Fixed Assets and 2 more. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.

Does GST work offline?+

On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. GST runs against a database on your own machine, so it behaves identically with the network unplugged; only AI and billing reach out. On the Cloud edition it runs in the browser and needs a connection, with the POS till the one deliberate exception.

What does the AI in GST actually do?+

Explain my GST is computed by tested engines, not by a language model — switch the AI off and those figures are all still there and still correct. What the model contributes is the sentence around the number and the routing that brings it to you. Nothing writes to your books without you approving it.

Which businesses is GST for?+

It is built for Traders & Distributors, Wholesale & Distribution and Retail & Shops in particular, and it is not exclusive to them — GST is part of the horizontal suite, so any business on LekhaPro can switch it on. Those trades are named because their industry pages describe how GST is used in that specific line of work.

Can I control who sees GST?+

Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach GST without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.
