GST Portal View of Invoice in TallyPrime: 4 Steps + Easy Example

If you are using TallyPrime for GST billing and returns, it’s important to understand how the invoice recorded in TallyPrime appears on the GST Portal.

This ensures that the data you upload is accurate and matches what the government expects.

TallyPrime follows the prescribed GST Invoice Format, making sure your invoices are fully compliant and ready for upload.

Let’s walk through how it works and what the GST portal view of a TallyPrime invoice includes.

1. Why GST Portal View Matters in TallyPrime?

The Government GST Portal (www.gst.gov.in) shows invoices you’ve uploaded either:

Directly via GSTR-1, or
Automatically through e-invoicing if your business is eligible.

By comparing your TallyPrime invoice with the portal view, you can:

Ensure all required fields are filled correctly
Avoid mismatches between your books and GST filings
Speed up reconciliation and claim of input tax credit

2. Structure of GST Portal Invoice View in TallyPrime

When an invoice is uploaded (via JSON, Excel, or API), the GST portal displays it with the following key sections:

Invoice Number and Date
Supplier GSTIN
Receiver GSTIN
Place of Supply
Item Details (with HSN/SAC)
Tax Amounts – CGST, SGST, IGST, Cess
Total Invoice Value

Now, let’s see how this is handled inside TallyPrime.

3. Example: GST Invoice Entry in TallyPrime

Let’s say you’re selling the following:

Item: Laser Printer
HSN Code: 8443
Quantity: 2
Rate: ₹10,000
GST Rate: 18%
Buyer Location: Inter-state (IGST applies)

1. Steps to Record in TallyPrime:

Go to Vouchers > F8: Sales
Select the buyer (ensure their GSTIN and state are correct)
Choose the Sales ledger (with IGST enabled)
Select the Laser Printer stock item
Enter quantity and rate (2 x ₹10,000)
GST @18% will be calculated automatically as IGST ₹3,600
Save the voucher

4. Invoice Format on GST Portal (Based on Above Entry) in TallyPrime

Once uploaded, this invoice will appear on the portal like this:

Invoice No.: INV/001
Date: 11-06-2025
Seller GSTIN: 27AAAAA0000A1Z5
Buyer GSTIN: 29BBBBB0000B1Z7
Place of Supply: Karnataka
Item Description: Laser Printer
HSN Code: 8443
Qty: 2
Rate: ₹10,000
Taxable Value: ₹20,000
IGST @18%: ₹3,600
Total Invoice Value: ₹23,600

This format is based on the GSTR-1 JSON structure accepted by the GST portal.

5. How to Ensure Proper GST Portal View from TallyPrime

Here’s how you make sure everything is in order before exporting or uploading invoices:

1. Correct GST Details for Parties

Buyer/Supplier must have correct State, GST Registration Type, and GSTIN

2. Assign Proper HSN/SAC

All stock items and services should have valid HSN/SAC codes
GST rate must be set at item level

3. Use GST-Enabled Ledgers

Sales and Purchase ledgers must have GST enabled
Ensure correct tax ledgers (CGST, SGST, IGST) are used

4. Check with GSTR-1 Preview

Go to Display > Statutory Reports > GST > GSTR-1
Review invoices before exporting JSON

6. Exporting Invoice for GST Filing in TallyPrime

Go to GSTR-1 Report
Select Period (e.g., 1-Jun to 30-Jun)
Press Ctrl + E to export
Choose Format: JSON (for direct upload), Excel, or MS Word (for print)
Use this file to upload to GST portal or e-invoicing portal

7. Conclusion

TallyPrime helps you create invoices that are GST-compliant and ready for upload to the GST Portal.

It captures all the required fields—invoice number, GSTINs, HSN, rates, and taxes—automatically.

This ensures:

Accurate filing of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B

No tax mismatches or penalties

Always double-check your invoices using the GSTR preview and keep your masters updated.

This way, your Tally data will perfectly match what’s seen on the GST Portal.
