Welcome to this video on GST Inward Supply reconciliation. This is the most important part of filing monthly GST Returns. To avail Input Tax Credit or ITC, It is important to match your purchase register with supplier details uploaded in the GST portal.

In this video, we will go through these steps, one by one.

Step 1 Provide GSTZen with information about Purchase Invoices, Credit and Debit Notes, and Advances paid to suppliers. You can upload them easily using XLS files. GSTZen importer is flexible and can work with data from any accounting software.
