1. For the month of March, 2021, the auto-population of e-invoices into GSTR-1 (of March, 2021) is still in progress and is likely to take some more time.

Hence, notified taxpayers who are reporting e-invoices, are hereby advised not to wait for the complete auto-population, and instead proceed with preparation and filing of GSTR-1 for March, 2021 (by the due date), based on actual data as per their records.
