Understanding Your GST Reports
How to download, read, and use the four GST report tabs for filing your returns accurately.
destin.bio automatically generates four GST reports every month so you (or your CA) can file returns without manually compiling data. All reports are available as CSV downloads with one click.
Where to Find GST Reports
- 1Go to Dashboard → GST Reports.
- 2Select the month and year from the dropdown at the top.
- 3Browse the four tabs: Sales Report, TCS Report, Credit Notes, and Settlement Report.
- 4Click "Download CSV" on any tab to export that report.
Tab 1 — Sales Report (GSTR-1)
This report lists every delivered order for the selected month. Use it to fill Table 12 (HSN-wise summary) in your GSTR-1 filing.
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Order ID | Unique identifier for the order |
| Order Date | Date the order was placed |
| Product | Product name from the order |
| HSN Code | Harmonised System of Nomenclature code for the product — required for GST filing |
| Taxable Value | Price before GST |
| CGST | Central GST — applies for deliveries within Gujarat (same state as platform GSTIN) |
| SGST | State GST — same as CGST for intra-state deliveries |
| IGST | Integrated GST — applies for inter-state deliveries |
| Total | Taxable value + GST |
The summary cards at the top show your total sales, total GST collected, and the number of invoices for quick reference.
Tab 2 — TCS Report
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is deducted by the platform on every sale. The government mandates e-commerce platforms to collect TCS at 0.5% (0.25% CGST + 0.25% SGST) on the net taxable value.
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Order ID | The order from which TCS was deducted |
| Order Date | When the order was placed |
| Taxable Value | Sales value before GST |
| TCS Rate | Currently 0.5% (split into CGST + SGST) |
| TCS CGST | 0.25% TCS to central government |
| TCS SGST | 0.25% TCS to state government |
| Total TCS | Sum of both TCS components |
You can claim TCS as a credit when you file your own GST returns. Share this report with your CA so the credit is not lost.
TCS is deducted from your payout — it is not an additional charge to the buyer. You must claim it back via your GST return filing.
Tab 3 — Credit Notes / Returns
Whenever a return is approved and refunded, a credit note is generated. This report shows the proportional GST reversal for each returned order.
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Order ID | Original order that was returned |
| Return Date | When the refund was processed |
| Product | Returned product name |
| Refund Amount | Amount refunded to buyer |
| CGST / SGST / IGST Credit | GST reversed — reduces your tax liability for the month |
Credit notes reduce your GST payable for the month. Make sure they're accounted for in your GSTR-1 filing under Table 9 (Credit/Debit Notes).
Tab 4 — Settlement
This is your complete payout breakdown for every order. It shows exactly how much you received and what deductions were made.
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Order ID | The order being settled |
| Buyer Amount | Total amount the buyer paid (includes platform fee + COD fee paid by buyer) |
| Gateway Fee | Razorpay processing fee (~2% of product price) + 18% GST on it (deducted from your payout for online orders, ₹0 for COD) |
| Shipping Cost | Shiprocket courier fee (deducted from your payout) |
| TCS Deducted | 0.5% TCS on GST-exclusive taxable value (claimable in GSTR-3B) |
| Net Payout | Final amount credited to your bank account: Product Price − Gateway Fee − Shipping − TCS |
