GST-Ready Accounting Software for Easier GST Filing
GST filing becomes easier when your billing, accounting, inventory, and GST reports work together in one integrated system. BUSY helps SMEs calculate GST correctly, prepare return data, reconcile ITC, and manage e-invoicing and e-way bill workflows — all from one platform. Trusted by 4 lakh+ businesses across India.

Common GST Challenges SMEs Face
Manual Data Entry Errors
Copying invoice details into spreadsheets or the GST portal manually can lead to wrong values, missing invoices, or return mismatches.
ITC Mismatches
Supplier filing delays or incorrect invoice details can create differences between purchase books and GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B.
Wrong GST Rate / HSN Code
An incorrect rate or HSN/SAC code can affect invoice accuracy and compliance across all returns.
Inter-State Tax Calculation
Businesses selling across states need to apply IGST correctly based on place of supply rules.
Deadline Pressure
Monthly filers must file GSTR-1 by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th. QRMP taxpayers follow a quarterly cycle with monthly tax payments.
These problems become harder to manage as invoice volume increases. BUSY helps reduce this pressure by connecting billing, accounting, GST reports, and reconciliation in one system.
Key GST Filing Deadlines
How BUSY Simplifies GST Filing for SMEs
Automatic GST Calculation
BUSY calculates CGST, SGST, and IGST based on the transaction type, place of supply, GST rate, and item setup. Once GST details such as rate and HSN/SAC code are configured, the software applies tax during billing automatically. It also supports tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive billing for different business types and pricing methods.
GSTR-1/IFF and GSTR-3B Preparation
BUSY helps generate GST return data from accounting records. Sales and purchase entries recorded in the software can be used to prepare GSTR-1/IFF and GSTR-3B related reports and summaries. Businesses can use JSON-based return files, direct upload options, and return dashboards — reducing repeated manual entry. BUSY also supports GSTR-4 and GSTR-9 workflows where applicable.
GST Reconciliation for ITC Review
BUSY helps compare purchase records with GST data such as GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B in relevant editions. This helps identify missing invoices, delayed supplier filing, value differences, and other mismatches. Reconciliation gives businesses a clearer view of what is matching, what is missing, and what needs follow-up — before returns are finalised.
E-Invoicing and E-Way Bill Support
BUSY supports e-invoicing and e-way bill workflows in relevant editions. Businesses covered under the GST e-invoicing mandate can manage IRN and QR code related processes from the software. For businesses with higher invoice volume, this reduces the need to manage e-invoice and e-way bill activity separately from accounting.
Multi-GSTIN and Multi-Company Management
Businesses operating in multiple states may need to manage multiple GST registrations. BUSY supports multi-company and multi-GSTIN workflows, helping users manage different entities, branches, or registrations more effectively. Chartered Accountants can also use this to handle GST work for multiple clients.
