- Certain notified taxpayers have to prepare and issue their invoices by obtaining Invoice Reference Number (IRN) from Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) (commonly referred as ‘e-invoices’).
- Upon successful generation of IRN, details of such e-invoices will be auto-populated in respective tables of GSTR-1. The same can be downloaded as excel file as well.
- In case the GSTR-1 for corresponding period was already filed by the taxpayer, then, the details from einvoices can be downloaded as excel file only.
- The details would be auto-populated based on document date.
- Auto-population into GSTR-1 is as follows:
| Sr.No | Supply Type | Columns of GSTR – 1 Auto-populated |
| 1 | Outward Supplies to Registered Person, other than Reverse Charge | B2B – 4A transactions expect for the following transactions i)Supplies attracting reverse charge ii)Supplies made through e-commerce operations |
| 2 | Outward Supplies to Registered persons attracting reverse charge | Table 4B |
| 3 | Export Supplies | Table 6A – Exports |
| 4 | Credit/Debit Notes Issued to Registered persons | Table 9B – CDNR |
| 5 | Credit/Debit Notes issued for exports (unregistered persons) | Table 9B – CDNUR |

into GSTR-1. For the auto-populated invoices, below additional details will also be displayed.
a. Source (e-invoice)
b. Invoice Reference Number (IRN)

7. After auto-population of details from e-invoices, in case of cancellation of IRN, such documents will be
deleted in the respective table.
8. Details of e-invoices auto-populated in GSTR-1 can be edited/deleted by the taxpayer. However, in such cases, the ‘Source’, ‘IRN’ and ‘IRN date’ fields will be reset to blank in respective tables of GSTR-1. Such edited documents will be treated as if they were not auto-populated but uploaded separately by taxpayer.

a. By viewing them online on GST Portal, or
