# Filing GSTR-6: Download GSTR-6A

## Pull Data (Using OTP)

GSTR-6A contains the inward supply details available for the ISD GSTIN on the GST portal. Octa GST can fetch this data
directly from the government portal using OTP, so you do not need to upload JSON files manually.

Before pulling data, make sure Octa GST is connected to the GST portal for the ISD GSTIN.

To pull GSTR-6A data:

1. Open the GSTR-6A section.
2. Click **Pull**.
3. Select the required return period.
4. Click **Continue**.

The system will then retrieve the data from the government portal for the selected period.

## Export GSTR-6A

You can export the downloaded GSTR-6A data for review, analysis, or record keeping.

Click **Export** to open the export window. Octa GST provides two export formats:

### Octa Full Format

Use this format when you need detailed invoice and line-item information. If an invoice has multiple line items, each
line item is shown separately in the export.

This format is useful for detailed checking, audit trails, and transaction-level analysis.

### Octa Smart Format

Use this format when you want a simplified invoice-level view in Excel. It consolidates invoice-level entries and
includes the net value of amendments.

This format is easier to read when you only need a summary for review or sharing.
