My client took a voluntary GST registration. Now he wanted to sell through E-commerce operator. In such a case, when B2C sale is to be filled in GSTR-1 , no option is available to show the sale made through e-commerce operator. Thus, when Dept will match GSTR-8 of e-commerce operator and my client's GSTR-1, it will show mis-match as there is no option to fill the GSTN of e-commerce operator. What to do in such a situation?

GST Portal Issue: Voluntary Registrant Faces GSTR-1 Filing Challenges for E-commerce Sales, Potential GSTR-8 Mismatches A client with voluntary GST registration seeks to sell through an e-commerce operator but faces issues with GSTR-1 filing, as it lacks an option to report sales through e-commerce operators, leading to potential mismatches with GSTR-8. Respondents suggest using GSTR-1's Column 4C for e-commerce sales, raising a ticket with GSTN for assistance, and noting that current GSTIN portal limitations require reporting B2C and B2B sales as regular transactions. The e-commerce sales reporting option is available in the Excel utility and GST law but not yet on the portal. (AI Summary)
