New GSTN advisory: GST registered suppliers must take note of these new changes made in GSTR-1 from January 2025

GSTN has implemented multiple changes in Table 12 of GSTR-1 return starting from the January 2025 tax period. The deadline to file GSTR-1 for January 2025 tax period is February 11, 2025. This means on or before February 11, 2025 when you file GSTR-1 the specified new rules will have to be followed otherwise the return will be considered faulty. Needless to say if the supplier’s GSTR-1 is faulty then the buyer’s GSTR-2B will get populated with wrong details.
