How to Fix Multi-Rate HSN Summary Errors in Tally Prime GSTR-1 (Table 12)

July 24, 202611 min readAkib Husain

Filing monthly GSTR-1 returns can become frustrating when Table 12 throws HSN/SAC Summary errors. With the GST Portal mandating strict B2B vs B2C HSN reporting and multi-rate breakdowns, ensuring stock items in Tally Prime are correctly configured is essential for error-free filing.

Quick Answer: How to Fix Multi-Rate HSN Mismatches in Tally Prime?

TrulyInvoice extracts HSN/SAC codes, item quantities, rates, and GST percentages from vendor purchase bills and posts them directly to Tally Prime stock items. In GSTR-1 Table 12, the GST Portal mandates strict B2B vs B2C HSN summaries. If different items share an HSN code but carry multiple GST tax rates (5%, 12%, 18%), Tally Prime requires proper item-level tax rate definitions.

  • Check HSN Length: 4-digit for <₹5Cr turnover, 6-digit for >₹5Cr turnover.
  • Map UQC Codes: Map custom units (e.g. 'Pkt') to standard GST portal UQCs (e.g. 'PAC').
  • B2B vs B2C Bifurcation: Ensure sales vouchers are categorized correctly in Tally.
  • TrulyInvoice auto-extracts HSN codes & rates from purchase bills to prevent Tally errors.

Step-by-Step SOP: Resolving HSN Mismatches in Tally Prime

  1. Check Incomplete/Mismatch Exceptions: Open Display More Reports > GST Reports > GSTR-1. Drill down into Incomplete/Mismatch in information.
  2. Map Unit Quantity Codes (UQC): Open Stock Item Alteration, verify that the Unit of Measurement is linked to a valid GST UQC (e.g., NOS-NUMBERS or KGS-KILOGRAMS).
  3. Set Item-Level Tax Rates: If different products share the same HSN code but carry different GST tax rates (e.g. 5% vs 12%), define the tax rate at the individual Stock Item Master level rather than the ledger level.
  4. Regenerate JSON File: Export JSON from GSTR-1 report and validate in the GST Portal Offline Tool before final filing.
