# Importing Sales Register: Meesho Format

Octa makes GST filing super simple for Meesho sellers! With **direct import** of your **Meesho GST reports** (Sales +
Sales Return), Octa automatically reads your data, handles sales, returns, cancellations, and reversals correctly, and
prepares the key parts of your **GSTR-1** — no manual copying or adjustments needed. Save time and reduce errors every
month!

## How Octa Smartly Processes Your Meesho Data?

Meesho provides GST data in **two separate Excel files** inside a ZIP file:

- **tcs_sales** (for regular sales and related transactions)
- **tcs_sales_return** (for returns, cancellations, and reversal of returns)

Octa processes all transaction types intelligently:

- Sales → Treated as outward supplies
- Returns & cancellations → Treated as Credit Notes (reduces your tax liability)
- Reversal of returns → Adjusted as fresh supplies where needed

This ensures:

- Accurate net GST liability
- Proper handling of adjustments
- Full compliance with GST rules for e-commerce platforms

After importing **both files**, Octa auto-generates these GSTR-1 sections for you:

- **B2C Summary** (state-wise outward supplies)
- **HSN Summary** (product-wise tax breakup)
- **E-commerce Summary** (including TCS collected by Meesho)

Everything ready for review and filing!

## How to Import?

### Step-1: Download Meesho GST Reports

1. Log in to your **Meesho Supplier Panel** at [supplier.meesho.com](https://supplier.meesho.com)
2. From the left menu, go to **Payments** section
3. Click the **Download** button (usually at the top right)
4. Select **GST Report** from the options
5. Choose the **Year** and **Month** you need (reports are typically available after the 5th of the next month)
6. Click **OK** — a **ZIP file** will download
7. Extract (unzip) the file on your computer — you'll find two Excel files:
   - **tcs_sales.xlsx** (sales data)
   - **tcs_sales_return.xlsx** (returns data)

> **Tip:** Always extract the ZIP before importing — Octa can import the individual Excel files only.

### Step-2: Import into Octa

1. Open your company in Octa
2. Go to the **Sales** page
3. Click the **Import** button
4. From the format dropdown, choose **Meesho Format**
5. Upload the first file (e.g., **tcs_sales.xlsx**)
6. Click **Continue** and follow the easy on-screen instructions
7. **Repeat** the same steps for the second file (**tcs_sales_return.xlsx**)

Octa combines both files automatically — import usually completes in less than a minute!

## Quick Tips & Troubleshooting

- Import **both** files for the same month to get complete & accurate GSTR-1 data.
- If the ZIP is missing files or download fails, raise a ticket in Meesho's Help section (Payments > I want GST or Sales
  report) — attach your downloaded ZIP for faster help.
- Errors during import? Octa shows clear row details — fix in the Excel, save, and re-import.

This direct import feature cuts manual work dramatically and keeps your GSTR-1 spot-on.
