Author comments:

It means INVOICE wise details only  "B to B" (being registered persons only) for both INTRA & INTER however if INTER STATE to UNREG then invoice wise details above 2.5 lacs to be provided & a consolidated summary of all other invoices transacted with UNREG (being below 2.5 lacs in case inter- state & all other intra state)...ISSUED Debit/ Credit notes need to be mentioned in all cases..

Rule 59(3) -The details of outward supplies furnished by the supplier shall be made available electronically to the concerned registered persons (recipients) in Part A of FORM GSTR- 2A, in FORM GSTR-4A and in FORM GSTR-6A through the common portal after the due date of filing of FORM GSTR-1.

Author comments:

It means after the due date of filing of GSTR-1 ie 1 Sep to 5 Sep 2017 the entries of the return would be available to the recipients of such goods/ services in GSTR-2A or GSTR-4A (composition cases) or GSTR -6A (ISD cases) so that any mismatch or discrepancies would be corrected thereafter.


Rule 61(5) - Where the time limit for furnishing of details in FORM GSTR-1 under section 37 and in FORM GSTR-2 under section 38 has been extended and the circumstances so warrant,
return in FORM GSTR-3B, in lieu of FORM GSTR-3, may be furnished in such manner
and subject to such conditions as may be notified by the Commissioner,

Author comments:

It refers to the FORM GSTR -3B which has recently been filed and would surely be a base for filing GSTR-1 of JULY and all the details submitted should possibly be tallied with this detailed return
