Overview
Filing month means your CA asks for the data, and you end up rebuilding GSTR-1 in a spreadsheet from a bill book. Neev does it the other way round: it reads every finalized invoice for the period and writes out filing-shape files — GSTR-1, a GSTR-3B summary, and an HSN summary — in the JSON/CSV format the NIC portal expects. Separately, you can push a finalized invoice to the GSP and get an IRN back, so the bill is a proper e-invoice. No retyping, no spreadsheet hand-off.

You can read the guide. An owner or manager flips this Capability on in settings — it then lights up across the app.
This surface is always on — there is no switch to flip. The exports ship as part of Neev Core, so once your business GSTIN is saved in Settings, the GST-summary tab and its filing exports are live for every tenant.
Where to find it
On the web, open Reports from the sidebar (/reports) and go to the GST summary tab. That tab shows tax collected for the month, the HSN distribution, and the buttons that generate the filing files: GSTR-1 JSON, GSTR-3B JSON and HSN CSV. Pick the month and year from the dropdowns at the top, then generate.
The e-invoice IRN lives on the bill itself, not in Reports: open an invoice at /invoices/[id] and trigger Generate e-invoice there.
Reports is web-only. Owner, Manager and Accountant all see the Reports link and the GST-summary numbers — but as the Role notes below explain, who can actually press the filing-export buttons is narrower.
Key concepts
- GSTR-1 — your outward-supplies return. Neev builds it from the period's non-voided invoices, split into the NIC sections: B2B (sales to GSTIN-registered buyers, one row per invoice) and B2CL (large inter-state sales to unregistered buyers over ₹2,50,000), plus B2CS, nil-rated and HSN sections.
- GSTR-3B — the monthly summary return. Neev fills the outward-supply totals (taxable value, CGST, SGST, IGST, cess) from the same invoice rollup; the inward and ITC blocks come through as the right form for your CA to complete.
- HSN summary — sales grouped by HSN code, with quantity, taxable value and tax split. Descriptions are pulled from your HSN rate table.
- — the Invoice Reference Number the GSTN/GSP returns when you raise an e-invoice. Neev maps the bill to NIC shape, calls the configured GSP, and stores the IRN, acknowledgement number, date and QR code on the invoice.
- GSP — the GST Suvidha Provider Neev talks to on your behalf to get the IRN.
Common workflows
In Reports → GST summary, choose the month and year from the dropdowns. The numbers and exports always reflect the period you pick.
Hit GSTR-1 JSON. Neev runs the B2B, B2CL, B2CS, export, exempt, nil and HSN sections together and downloads a NIC-shape JSON named like gstr-1-2026-06.json — hand that straight to your CA or upload it.
Hit GSTR-3B JSON for the period's outward-supply summary as a JSON file.
Hit HSN CSV to download the HSN-wise breakup as a CSV.
Open a finalized invoice at /invoices/[id] and trigger Generate e-invoice. Both your business GSTIN and the customer's GSTIN must be on file. On success the IRN, ACK number and QR code land on the invoice.
Role notes
Viewing the GST numbers in Reports and generating the filing files are two different powers — and they sit with different roles by default. Raising the e-invoice IRN is a third, separate power.
- Owner holds the filing-export keys (
gst-export.gstr1,gst-export.gstr3b,gst-export.hsn) and can generate all three files. The Owner can also raise the e-invoice IRN. - Manager can raise the e-invoice IRN (generate and cancel) on a finalized bill, and reads the GST-summary numbers. By default the Manager does not hold the GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B / HSN export keys.
- Accountant sees the financial reports and the GST-summary numbers, but by default does not hold the GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B / HSN export keys, and cannot raise or cancel an e-invoice IRN.
| Role | View GST summary | Generate GSTR-1 | Generate GSTR-3B | Generate HSN file | Generate e-invoice IRN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Owner | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed |
| Manager | Allowed | Not allowed | Not allowed | Not allowed | Allowed |
| Accountant | Allowed | Not allowed | Not allowed | Not allowed | Not allowed |
The team-invite screen describes the Accountant as the one who handles "exports", but by default the Accountant role is not granted the GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B / HSN keys — those are Owner-only out of the box. If you want your accountant generating filing files, the Owner has to grant those keys to the role first. The Accountant also cannot raise the e-invoice IRN.
Tips & time-savers
Save your business GSTIN in Settings once, on day one. The filing-export buttons stay greyed out until a GSTIN is on file, and you'll see a "Add your business GSTIN in Settings to enable official filing exports" banner. Set it once and every month's GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and HSN file is one click away.
The GSTR-1 file already separates B2B from large inter-state B2CL sales using the live ₹2,50,000 threshold — you don't sort invoices by hand. And finalizing a bill stores its PDF automatically, so the document of record is ready the moment you raise the e-invoice.
Gotchas
You can't raise an e-invoice on a draft. The bill must be finalized first — try it on a draft and Neev blocks you with "Invoice must be finalized before generating e-invoice." A voided bill is also refused, and once an IRN exists Neev won't generate a second one for the same invoice.
The filing files are a clean read of your finalized invoices for the period — they are not a filing state. Neev does not track whether you have actually filed, does not store the file for you, and does not push it to the portal. Generating GSTR-1 hands you the data; submitting it on the GST portal is still your (or your CA's) step.
