Export Section-Wise JSON Files for IFF to File E-Returns

If you are filing returns quarterly but paying tax monthly, then you will be using Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) provided on the GST portal under the QRMP scheme.

Using TallyPrime, you can export JSON files of the following sections in the GSTR-1 to upload on the portal for filing in the first two months of the quarter.

After you upload on the portal, your buyers can claim the Input Tax Credit in the first and second month. In the third month, you can file GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 as a regular process, which is mandatory.
