Shipping Bill Number & Date in Export

[SURYAKANT MITHBAVKAR]

In GSTR1 , Export Invoice summary there is option to mentioned the shipping Bill NO. & date.

In our case we have passed shipping bill on basis of our export invoice (Not Tax Invoice) in foreign currency which is earlier of our tax invoice. while entering the same detail in GSTN export invoice summary system shows Shipping bill date is always be on or after invoice date.

How to enter the shipping bill details in GSTR1.

You may mention it in next month or subsequent months return by giving the reference of earlier returns.

Correction will arise if you are able to make entry. GST invoice is to be prior to Shipping Bill date, only then system will accept transaction.

Option available is to state export invoice no so that return may be submitted. Also explore if you can raise GST invoice on the date of issue of export commercial invoice and mention the date and time of removal as the date of removal of goods for export from works.

I endorse the views of Shri Sanjah Malhotra.

AI Summary

GST invoice sequencing: ensure invoice timing or use return amendments to reconcile shipping bill reporting.
Issue: GSTR-1 requires shipping bill date on or after the tax invoice date, causing validation conflicts when the shipping bill predates the GST invoice. Workarounds: mention shipping bill in a subsequent month's return with reference to earlier returns or use the export commercial invoice number to submit the return. Advisors recommend ensuring a GST invoice exists prior to the shipping bill for system acceptance, or raise a GST invoice on the commercial invoice date and record date/time of removal as the export removal date to align with system requirements.
