Meesho GST Filing Tool

Upload the GST reports Meesho gives you every month (tcs_sales, tcs_sales_return, Tax_invoice_details — or just the ZIP) and get a return-netted sales register, rate/HSN/state-wise GSTR-1 summaries, a TCS reconciliation estimate, and a portal-upload-shaped JSON. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Accepts the Meesho GST report ZIP, or tcs_sales.xlsx / tcs_sales_return.xlsx / Tax_invoice_details.xlsx directly.

Upload your files to generate the report.

Not tax, legal, or financial advice. GST rates, thresholds, and portal behavior change — always verify current figures and validate any generated JSON on the GST portal before filing. Consult a CA for anything material.

How to use the Meesho GST Filing Tool

  1. In Meesho Supplier Panel, go to Payments/Reports → GST Reports and download the monthly ZIP for the month you're filing (or grab the extracted tcs_sales.xlsx, tcs_sales_return.xlsx, and Tax_invoice_details.xlsx files).
  2. Upload the ZIP or the individual Excel files below — nothing leaves your browser.
  3. Turn on "Composition scheme" if you're a composition taxpayer, and pick the unit (UQC) that matches your products.
  4. Review the net taxable value, TCS estimate, and any warnings (late credit notes, possible B2CL invoices, missing files).
  5. Download the sales register and the rate/HSN/state-wise CSVs, plus the GSTR-1-shaped JSON — validate it via "Prepare Offline" on the GST portal before you actually file.

Frequently asked questions

Which Meesho files do I need?

tcs_sales.xlsx is required. tcs_sales_return.xlsx is optional (only needed if you had returns that month). Tax_invoice_details.xlsx is optional too, but adds invoice numbers, credit note numbers, and product descriptions to your register. You can upload the whole ZIP Meesho gives you instead of extracting it yourself.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. The ZIP/Excel files are parsed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your GSTIN, sales figures, and customer states are never transmitted or stored anywhere.

Is the downloaded JSON really ready to upload to the GST portal?

It's built to match the structure GSTN's own GSTR-1 offline utility uses for the B2CS, HSN summary, and Table 14A (e-commerce/TCS) sections — but GSTN doesn't publish this as an open spec, so treat it as a strong head start, not a blind auto-file. Always upload it via "Prepare Offline" on the GST portal and review every table before you actually submit your return.

What TCS rate does this use for the reconciliation estimate?

0.5% of your net taxable value (0.25% CGST + 0.25% SGST for intra-state, or 0.5% IGST for inter-state) — the rate in force since 10 July 2024 (Notification 15/2024-Central Tax). If your file is from before that date, the tool uses the earlier 1% rate automatically. This is only an estimate to cross-check — the figure that actually counts is whatever Meesho reports in GSTR-8, which you must accept in the "TDS/TCS Credit Received" table on the GST portal before it reaches your cash ledger.

Why are some returns excluded from the net GST figures?

Section 34 only lets you reduce GST liability via a credit note declared by 30 November following the end of that financial year (or your GSTR-9 filing date, if earlier). Returns dated after that deadline are kept in your downloadable register for your records, but this tool doesn't net them into the taxable value or tax totals, since you can no longer legally claim that reduction.

I'm on the GST Composition Scheme — does this still work?

Turn on the composition toggle. Composition sellers don't file GSTR-1 or charge GST per invoice, so the B2CS/HSN/Table 14A summaries are skipped. Instead you get your net turnover (for CMP-08/GSTR-4 self-assessment) and the TCS reconciliation, which still applies. Composition sellers can only sell intra-state through Meesho (since October 2023) — any inter-state order found in your data is flagged so you can check it.

What about the TDS Meesho deducts from my payouts?

That's a separate income-tax matter (Section 194-O, recodified as Section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025): Meesho deducts 0.1% TDS on your gross sales unless you're an individual/HUF with under ₹5 lakh in sales that year. Reconcile it against Form 26AS/AIS. This tool only handles GST, not income tax.

Does this replace my CA or accounting software?

No. It's a reconciliation aid built from publicly available GST rules current as of September 2026 — TCS rate, the ₹1 lakh B2CL threshold, HSN digit requirements, the credit-note deadline, and e-commerce rules for composition sellers. Rules and thresholds change; always verify current figures and get a professional review before filing. Not tax, legal, or financial advice.
