4 GST-Specific Disclosures & Responsibilities
🔔 For GST-Registered Businesses:
- Invoice Format: Aurinko360 generates invoices that comply with GST invoice rules (as of the release date).
However, GST rules change frequently. You must verify your invoices comply with current rules.
- Place of Supply (PoS): We calculate PoS based on CGST/SGST/IGST. You must verify this is correct for your business model.
- E-Way Bill Requirements: Aurinko360 reminds you of e-way bill requirements for shipments >₹50,000, but you must generate and file e-way bills yourself.
- GST Compliance: You are responsible for filing GSTR-1 (sales), GSTR-3B (liability), and reconciling with GSTR-2A.

- Credit Notes & Debit Notes: Any credit/debit notes issued must be filed in GSTR-1 within the same period.
- Amendment of Invoices: Do not amend invoices in Aurinko360 after issuing them. Create a credit note and new invoice instead.
