How to Resolve NIL GSTR 1 Error : NIL GSTR 1 Error Resolved
In our Last Article we have discussed How to file NIL GSTR 1. Process for filing NIl GSTR 1 has already been shared with you by way of article on this website and by way of youtube Video. In the video shared on You Tube channel we have found that there was error while submitting NIL GSTR 1.
Here we will tell you how to resolve NIL GSTR 1 Error. While filing Nil return every body is getting Error: No summary to submit GSTR 1. This Error is coming because we have not mentioned any invoice details under GSTR 1 but as per GST Tech twitter account and GST Helpline we should add at least one line item with zero value then only system will allow us to file the return. This has been confirmed by GST Tech twitter Account below is screen shot for your reference.

Now the problem is  how can we add the invoice details with Zero value and where we have to add that Zero value Invoice.We have discussed in our earlier articles that there are 13 different heads under GSTR 1 return form. Following are 13 Section to be furnished in FORM GSTR-1 and one by one we will see in which option we can add NIL / Zero Value Invoice.:

1. GSTIN of the person filing the return (Auto- Populated so not possible here)
2. Name of the taxable person (Auto Populated not possible here)
3. Aggregate turnover in the preceeding financial year & Aggregate turnover from April to June, 2017 ( Here we need to give turnover so option to add invoice with zero value is cannot be used here.
4. Taxable outward supplies made to registered persons (including UIN holders) other than covered by Table 6. (Here in this option we have share detailed information about outward supplies and we have to give GSTN of the recipient also, so option to add Zero value invoice cannot be used here.)
5. Taxable outward inter-state Supplies to un-registered persons where the invoice value is more than 2.5 lakh. (not possible here also)
6. Zero- rated supplies and Deemed Exports (not possible here also)
7. Taxable Supplies (Net of debit notes and credit notes) to unregistered persons other than the supplies covered in Table 5 (Here we can add one ZERO value invoice and we can save and then generate summary. Here no GSTN has been asked as it is intra state supply to unregistered person so this is the only option where we can add Zero Value invoice.)
8. Nil- rated, exempt and non- GST outward supplies (not possible here also)
9. Amendments to taxable outward supply details furnished in returns for earlier tax periods in table 4,5 & 6 [including debit notes, credit notes, refund vouchers issued during current period and amendments thereof] (not possible here also)
10. Amendments to taxable outward supplies to unregistered persons furnished in returns for earlier tax periods in Table 7 (not possible here also)
11. Consolidated statement of advances received/advance adjusted in the current tax period/ amendments of information furnished in earlier tax period (not possible here also)
12. HSN-wise summary of outward supplies (not possible here also)
13. Documents issued during the tax period (not possible here also)
