Best GST Filing Software India (2026): Top 10 Compared

Updated September 2026By StatWharf Editorial10 vendorsMethodology

Filing software sits between a business ledger and the GST portal. It takes sales and purchase data, builds GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, pulls GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B and Invoice Management System data back from the portal, matches that against the purchase register, and files. The ten products below fall into three shapes. GST Suvidha Provider platforms (Octa GST and GSTZen) connect to the portal through the government API and price by GSTIN or by call. Practitioner suites (Express GST, Web-e-GST, Gen GST, Winman GST and Saral GST) are built for a chartered accountant office filing for many clients. Accounting-first products (Marg ERP 9+ and TallyPrime) generate returns from the same vouchers used for books. ClearTax spans the enterprise end. Five of the ten publish a figure on their own site.

These comparisons draw on public product information, not hands-on testing of every tool. Source records identify available references and checks; missing evidence is marked. Buyer fit is an editorial assessment, not a measured performance score. How to use this research.

GST filing in India is a monthly rhythm rather than a single event. A registered business reports outward supplies in GSTR-1, pulls the government view of its inward supplies from GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B, acts on each inward invoice through the Invoice Management System, reconciles that against its purchase register, settles liability in GSTR-3B, and closes the year with GSTR-9 and, above the threshold, GSTR-9C. Registrations in several states multiply the cycle.

The ten products compared below take different parts of that work. Pricing is stated from the vendor own page where it is published, with the month of the check recorded, and marked as unpublished where no figure exists.

Vendor details and trade-offs

ClearTax GST (Clear)

enterprisecleartax.in ↗
Consider forFinance teams that file across many GSTINs and want general ledger data pulled from an ERP rather than uploaded, because Clear documents GL-Stream ingestion alongside SAP and Microsoft integrations
Pricing notesClear publishes no price on the GST software page. The page routes to a demo request and a sign-up flow instead. Plan names, per-GSTIN rates and billing periods are absent. Budgeting therefore starts with a sales conversation, and the figures a buyer receives cannot be checked against a published rate card (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateCustom matching rules that handle one-to-many and many-to-many invoice relationships rather than only exact document matches

Clear, still trading as ClearTax on its product pages, sells GST filing software across the range from individual tax filers to large enterprises. The GST software page states 4,000 plus enterprises, 80,000 tax experts, 2 lakh plus SMEs and 6 million plus tax filers.

Return coverage is the widest here: GSTR-1 through GSTR-9C, with GSTR-4 for composition dealers and GSTR-6, GSTR-7 and GSTR-8 for input service distributors, deductors and e-commerce operators.

Reconciliation is where the product argues its case. The page describes AI-powered matching, automatic population of Table 4 in GSTR-3B, more than 200 validations applied at ingestion, and Invoice Management System handling for GSTR-2B. Custom matching rules extend past exact matches to one-to-many and many-to-many relationships, which matters when a supplier consolidates or splits invoices against a purchase order.

Data reaches the product through GL-Stream, described as real-time general ledger ingestion, with SAP and Microsoft integrations and custom data mappers. Clear also appears on the GST compliance software page, covering the enterprise product and its managed filing service.

Potential strengths

  • Covers the wide return set, from GSTR-1 through GSTR-9C and including GSTR-4, GSTR-6, GSTR-7 and GSTR-8
  • GL-Stream ingests general ledger data in real time, which removes the Excel staging step common to the practitioner suites here

Trade-offs

  • No price appears anywhere on the product page, so a buyer cannot size the cost before contacting sales
  • Speed claims such as matching 10,000 documents in a minute are the vendor own and carry no stated test method

Octa GST

mid-marketoctagst.com ↗
Consider forBusinesses with a single GSTIN and moderate invoice volume that want a GST Suvidha Provider platform at a price they can read before contacting anyone, as Blowbits Solutions publishes for the Octa GST Standard plan
Pricing notesStandard is ₹25,000 a year and covers 1 GSTIN, 3,000 sales invoices a year and 3,000 purchase invoices a year, with basic compliance, standard reports, Excel and CSV imports, shared cloud resources and fewer than 5 GSTINs. Premium is quoted and adds multiple PANs and GSTINs, e-invoicing, e-way bills, SEZ, input service distributor and TDS compliance, ERP connectors, API integration and dedicated cloud resources (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateA published annual list price for a GST Suvidha Provider platform, with the invoice volume and GSTIN count that the figure buys stated on the same page

Octa GST is the compliance platform of Blowbits Solutions LLP, a GST Suvidha Provider serving taxpayers since 2017. The site states 1,25,000 GSTINs, 20,000 users and 4,50,00,000 invoices processed a month.

The product is organised by obligation, not by feature. Regular compliance auto-generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B and reconciles input credit against GSTR-2B. Separate tracks cover special economic zone units, input service distributors reconciling GSTR-6A and generating GSTR-6, and GST TDS deductors filing GSTR-7.

Reconciliation is the stated centre of the product. Invoice matching and automated input tax credit tracking per purchase invoice are the first claims on the homepage. Invoice Management System reconciliation supports bulk accept, reject and keep-pending actions on inward invoices.

Beyond returns, the platform generates e-invoices and e-way bills through the interface, Excel or API, exposes GSP APIs, offers PAN-level audit data pulls, and runs a notice tracker. Pricing is unusually direct for the Indian market: Standard at ₹25,000 a year, Premium quoted.

Potential strengths

  • The pricing page states exactly what Standard excludes, including e-invoicing, e-way bills, SEZ, input service distributor and TDS compliance
  • Return coverage extends past the common forms to GSTR-6 for input service distributors and GSTR-7 for deductors

Trade-offs

  • The Standard invoice allowance of 3,000 sales and 3,000 purchase documents a year suits a small business only
  • Every feature beyond regular and composition compliance sits behind the quoted Premium plan

GSTZen

specialistgstzen.in ↗
Consider forChartered accountant practices and GST consultants managing a fixed block of client registrations that want batch filing and per-GSTIN user permissions, as CloudZen documents in the GSTZen tax practitioner plans
Pricing notesPractitioner packages are named Basic at 25 GSTINs and Performance at 50 GSTINs, with an Enterprise option above 50 handled by telephone. The plan figures render client-side and did not appear in the served page, so they are not recorded here. Published limits and rates that do appear: 2,000 documents per GSTIN per month, prices exclusive of GST, and pay-as-you-go rates of ₹5 per API call, ₹5 per 100 records transferred after the first 50 free, ₹25 per JSON to XLS conversion up to 500 records, and a free GSTIN validator (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateAutopilot, which downloads reports, reconciles and files returns for 50 GSTINs in one run rather than one client at a time

GSTZen is the compliance platform of CloudZen Software Labs Pvt. Ltd., a Bengaluru company operating as a GST Suvidha Provider. Its consultants are listed in Mumbai, Indore, Bangalore, Chennai and Coimbatore, and the company offers back-office support with the software.

The product is aimed squarely at practitioners. The tax practitioner page leads with four claims: Tally integration for uploading sales and purchase invoices directly, unlimited users with permissions assigned by GSTIN or PAN, PAN-level GST reports downloaded in one action, and Autopilot, which downloads reports, reconciles and files returns for 50 GSTINs together.

The solution list covers GST return filing, reconciliation, Invoice Management System handling, e-way bills, e-invoices and tribunal filing support. Separate pricing pages exist for the e-invoice, e-way bill and GSTIN validator APIs.

Pricing takes two shapes. Packaged plans are sized by GSTIN count at 25 and 50, with a stated limit of 2,000 documents per GSTIN per month and prices exclusive of GST. For practices with light volume, a prepaid option charges ₹5 per API call, ₹5 per 100 records transferred beyond the first 50, and ₹25 per JSON to XLS conversion.

Potential strengths

  • A prepaid pay-as-you-go option exists for practices with few invoices, priced per API call rather than per seat
  • Unlimited users with permissions assigned by GSTIN or PAN, which suits a practice splitting clients across staff

Trade-offs

  • Package prices do not appear in the served page source, so the headline figures are not publicly readable without loading the site
  • The stated cap of 2,000 documents per GSTIN per month rules out high-volume registrations on the packaged plans
Sources and status
  • Product reference
  • Pricing source
  • Billing terms: Package by GSTIN count, or prepaid pay-as-you-go per API call and per conversion; prices exclusive of GST

Express GST (KDK Softwares)

specialistexpressgst.com ↗
Consider forChartered accountant offices that file for clients holding registrations in several states and want one PAN-level view of filing status, reconciliation and notices, as KDK Softwares documents for Express GST
Pricing notesKDK Softwares publishes no price for Express GST. The site offers a free trial through a Try Now flow and a Switch for Free route from other software, then directs buyers to telephone and to sales at kdksoftware.com. No plan names, per-GSTIN rates or billing periods appear anywhere on the product pages (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateReconciliation that matches GSTR-1, GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B, Invoice Management System data and the books together, plus e-way bill matching against GSTR-1

Express GST is the GST product of K.D.K. Softwares (India) Pvt. Ltd., a Jaipur company whose other products cover TDS and income tax filing. The suite sells as a set: ExpressGST, ExpressTDS, ExpressITR and a PDF signer, with Spectrum Cloud as the combined offer.

Return coverage runs GSTR-1, GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 with GSTR-9C. The feature set is written for a practice rather than a single business: PAN-level filing, multiple logins, auto supplier reminders and a return register.

Reconciliation is described as AI-powered and works invoice-wise and supplier-wise. The stated matches cover GSTR-1, GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B, Invoice Management System data and the books, plus e-way bill data against GSTR-1 and e-invoice data against the books. Input tax credit is tracked across vendors and across months rather than only within a period.

Two features extend past filing. Notice management tracks GST notices and orders to closure. Auto-filled tax audit annexures push GST data into Form 3CD reporting. No price is published for any of it.

Potential strengths

  • Auto-filled tax audit annexures and Form 3CD reporting connect GST data to the income tax audit, which few products here attempt
  • Notice management and a GST notice finder are built into the product rather than tracked outside it

Trade-offs

  • No published price at any tier, so cost per client GSTIN cannot be estimated before a sales call
  • The product moved to a new platform recently, so documentation and feature pages are in transition and some links resolve to a not-found page

Webtel Web-e-GST

mid-marketwebtel.in ↗
Consider forBusinesses that already buy TDS, e-invoicing or e-way bill software from one Indian compliance vendor and want GST return filing on the same account, as Webtel documents across Web-e-GST and Web-GST Premium
Pricing notesWebtel publishes no price for Web-e-GST or Web-GST Premium. Every path on the GST filing page leads to a call-back form that asks which product the enquirer wants. No plan names or rate card are published (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateGSTR-2A and GSTR-2B reconciliation that applies automatic intelligence to both the invoice number and the invoice value rather than matching on one field

Webtel Electrosoft is a Delhi compliance software vendor that states 25 plus years of compliance work, presence in 7 plus countries and 40,000 plus customers. Web-e-GST is its GST return product, and Web-GST Premium the ERP-integrated version.

Return coverage is stated as GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C, covering the monthly, quarterly and annual cycle. Data reaches the product by import from an accounting package, and Webtel states that this integration carries no separate charge.

The reconciliation claim is more specific than most on this page. Webtel describes GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B reconciliation with automatic intelligence applied to the invoice number and the invoice value together, and enhanced data validation intended to catch errors before upload. The stated aim is a full input tax credit claim.

Scale figures on the page are vendor-stated: 236,500 plus returns filed a year and 122,000 plus reconciliations a year. The wider Webtel catalogue covers TDS, income tax, e-invoicing, e-way bills, XBRL and digital signing.

Potential strengths

  • Two product tiers separate standalone filing from ERP-integrated compliance, and Webtel states an SAP partnership for the enterprise route
  • Compliance products for TDS, e-invoicing, e-way bills and XBRL sit on the same vendor account, which reduces vendor count for a finance team

Trade-offs

  • No price is published for either tier, and the site routes every enquiry through a call-back form
  • Filing volume figures on the page, such as 236,500 returns a year, are vendor-stated with no independent source

Gen GST (SAG Infotech)

specialistsaginfotech.com ↗
Consider forTax practitioners and accountants who file for a large and growing client list and want a per-seat licence with no cap on registrations, because SAG Infotech states unlimited GSTIN registrations on both desktop editions
Pricing notesFour editions are published. Desktop e-filing: ₹5,000 installation and ₹2,000 a year updation, unlimited GSTIN registrations. Desktop all-in-one: ₹10,000 installation and ₹4,000 a year updation, unlimited GSTIN registrations. Online e-filing: ₹10,000 installation and ₹5,000 a year updation. Online all-in-one: ₹15,000 installation and ₹7,000 a year updation. The site states that every price excludes all applicable taxes (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateUnlimited GSTIN registrations on the desktop editions, with the licence priced per installation rather than per client

Gen GST is the GST product of SAG Infotech, a Jaipur vendor selling tax software to practitioners. It is sold in desktop and online form, and the desktop editions are the cheaper route.

Return coverage is stated form by form: GSTR-1, GSTR-1A, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, GST CMP-08, GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C. Billing, bulk e-way bill generation and e-invoice handling are included, with e-invoice printing, cancellation, QR code generation and linking to e-way bills.

Data import is the practical strength. The product reads Tally data by Excel and directly, SAG Excel, government Excel and Busy Excel, and accepts a JSON file from any other software. For a practice inheriting clients on mixed systems, that removes most re-keying.

Reconciliation covers GSTR-3B against the input credit register and GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B against the same register, with match and mismatch comparison between returns.

Pricing is published in full and split between a one-time installation charge and an annual updation charge. Desktop e-filing starts at ₹5,000 and ₹2,000, and both desktop editions state unlimited GSTIN registrations. SAG Infotech also appears on the GST compliance software page.

Potential strengths

  • Import paths are unusually broad: Tally by Excel and direct, SAG Excel, government Excel, Busy Excel, and JSON generated by any other software
  • The published price separates installation from annual updation, so a practice can model the second year before buying

Trade-offs

  • Desktop editions tie the data and the licence to a machine, so remote access needs the more expensive online edition
  • The online editions state no GSTIN limit, unlike the desktop editions where unlimited registrations are explicit

Winman GST

smbwinmansoftware.com ↗
Consider forChartered accountant practices that already run Winman CA-ERP for income tax or Winman TDS and want GST return preparation inside the same vendor toolset, as Winman documents across its three products
Pricing notesNo rate card appears in the published source of the Winman product or buy pages. The buy page offers a purchase flow and a free trial rather than a stated figure, and no plan names, user counts or licence periods are published in the page as served. A buyer has to start the purchase flow or contact the vendor to learn the price (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateData entry built around import from a Tally or Excel file rather than manual capture, with automatic reconciliation of GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B

Winman Software is a Bengaluru vendor selling three products to chartered accountant practices: Winman CA-ERP for income tax, Winman TDS, and Winman GST.

The GST product covers GSTR-1, GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9. The two claims the vendor leads with are practical rather than architectural: data entry without re-keying, by importing from a Tally or Excel file, and automatic reconciliation of GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B against that data.

The product is positioned as part of a set. A practice that already uses CA-ERP for income tax computations and audit reports gets GST preparation from the same supplier, on one support relationship.

Pricing is the gap. The buy page offers a free trial and a purchase flow, but the served page carries no figure, no plan name, no user count and no licence period. That puts Winman in the same position as Express GST and Web-e-GST for a buyer building a shortlist: the feature set can be assessed from the site, the cost cannot.

Potential strengths

  • Three products from one vendor cover income tax through CA-ERP, TDS and GST, which suits a practice standardising on a single supplier
  • Import from Tally or an Excel file is the documented default path, not an add-on

Trade-offs

  • No price is readable in the published page source, so the cost is unknown until the purchase flow starts
  • Return coverage stops at GSTR-9 on the product page, with no stated GSTR-9C, GSTR-6 or GSTR-7 support
Sources and status

Saral GST (Relyon Softech)

smbsaral.pro ↗
Consider forBusinesses and practices that need the less common GST forms alongside the monthly cycle, because Relyon documents GSTR-7 for deductors, CMP-08 and GSTR-4 for composition dealers and ITC-04 for job work in Saral GST
Pricing notesRelyon publishes no price on the Saral GST product page. The page routes to a demo request, a sign-up and a support contact. Relyon runs a separate buy route from its corporate site, but no figure, plan name or billing period for Saral GST appears on the product page itself (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateForm coverage that reaches past the monthly cycle into GSTR-7 for deductors and ITC-04 for goods sent to a job worker

Saral GST is the GST product of Relyon Softech Limited, a Bengaluru company established in 2000. Relyon states more than 1,00,000 active users and more than 15 products in the Saral suite, spanning HR and payroll, TDS, income tax, XBRL, accounting and billing.

Form coverage is broader than the monthly cycle. Alongside GSTR filings and GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B handling, the page names GSTR-7 for tax deducted at source under GST, CMP-08 and GSTR-4 for composition dealers, and ITC-04 for goods sent to a job worker. ITC-04 is absent from most product pages here.

Reconciliation retrieves data from the portal automatically for comparison against GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B. Invoice Management System reconciliation marks auto-downloaded documents as accepted, rejected or pending. E-invoicing and e-way bill generation are integrated rather than separate products.

No price is published on the product page.

Potential strengths

  • The Saral suite covers payroll, TDS, income tax, XBRL, accounting and billing, so a business can consolidate several compliance tools on one vendor
  • Invoice Management System reconciliation pulls portal data automatically and marks each document accepted, rejected or pending

Trade-offs

  • No price is published for the GST product, and the buy route sits on a different domain from the product page
  • The product page describes reconciliation and form coverage but states no invoice volume or GSTIN limits

Marg ERP 9+

smbmargcompusoft.com ↗
Consider forDistributors, retailers and pharmacy businesses that already run billing and inventory in Marg and want GST returns generated from those vouchers, and the accountants who file for them, as Marg documents for Marg GST Software for CA
Pricing notesMarg publishes an India and South Asia rate card. Marg ERP Nano is ₹5,550 and allows 450 bills a month with a monthly billing amount of ₹1,50,000, charging ₹5 per extra bill through a wallet. Basic Edition is ₹10,300 for 1 user with full rights, a maximum of 2 users, at ₹3,000 per extra user. Silver Edition is ₹13,900 for 1 full user plus 1 view-only user, again ₹3,000 per extra user. Gold Edition is ₹26,000 with unlimited users. Every figure carries 18 percent GST extra (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateA distinct CA edition that keeps client data on the practitioner machine and files GST returns in a single action

Marg ERP 9+ comes from Marg ERP Ltd, a Delhi vendor operating since 1992. The company states more than 10 lakh businesses served through 850 plus sales and support centres, with a strong position in pharmaceutical and fast-moving consumer goods distribution.

GST here is an output of the billing system rather than a standalone product. Invoices raised in Marg become the GSTR-1 data, and the software generates the return as a JSON file that the user uploads to the government portal. E-invoicing and e-way bill generation are included.

A separate edition targets practitioners. Marg GST Software for CA stores client data on the practitioner own machine rather than in a vendor cloud, and files GST returns in one action. For an accountant whose clients are uneasy about their books leaving the office, that separates it from the GSP platforms here.

Pricing is published in full for India and South Asia. Marg ERP Nano is ₹5,550 with a metered allowance of 450 bills a month. Basic is ₹10,300, Silver ₹13,900 and Gold ₹26,000 with unlimited users. All figures carry 18 percent GST extra, and extra users cost ₹3,000 each.

Potential strengths

  • The full rate card is published, including the extra-user charge and the Nano overage rate of ₹5 per bill
  • A separate edition for chartered accountants stores client data locally, which answers the data-custody question that cloud filing tools raise

Trade-offs

  • Returns are filed by generating a JSON file and uploading it to the portal rather than through a direct GSP connection
  • The product is billing and inventory software first, so a practice filing only returns pays for modules it will not use

Consider forSmall and mid-sized businesses that keep accounts and inventory in Tally and want GSTR-1 uploaded and GSTR-3B prepared from the same vouchers, because every TallyPrime plan includes GST compliance, e-invoicing and e-way bills
Pricing notesSilver, for a single user: ₹750 for 1 month, ₹2,250 for 3 months discounted to ₹2,138, ₹9,000 for 12 months discounted to ₹8,100, or ₹22,500 for a lifetime licence. Gold, for multiple users: ₹2,250 for 1 month, ₹6,750 for 3 months discounted to ₹6,413, ₹27,000 for 12 months discounted to ₹24,300, or ₹67,500 for a lifetime licence. Every figure carries 18 percent GST extra. Gold plans include Tally Software Services and free expert assistance (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateThe vendor states that both plans carry the same features, so the price difference reflects multi-user access rather than a functional tier

TallyPrime is the accounting and business management product of Tally Solutions, Bengaluru. For GST purposes it is not a filing tool bolted onto a ledger; the ledger is the source and the return is a report drawn from it.

The buy page lists GST compliance, e-invoicing and e-way bills among the features present in every plan, alongside invoicing, accounting, inventory, banking and connected services. The documented GST workflow covers uploading GSTR-1 to the portal, preparing GSTR-3B, and reconciling GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B against Tally data.

Pricing is published in full and in two shapes. A lifetime licence costs ₹22,500 for single-user Silver and ₹67,500 for multi-user Gold. Rentals run 1, 3 and 12 months, with the 12-month terms discounted to ₹8,100 and ₹24,300. All figures carry 18 percent GST extra, and Gold includes Tally Software Services and expert assistance.

The vendor states that both plans are fully loaded with all features, so the choice is about user count rather than capability. TallyPrime also appears on the GST compliance software page.

Potential strengths

  • Both plans are described as fully loaded with all features, so GST compliance is not held back for the higher tier
  • Rental terms of 1, 3 and 12 months sit alongside the lifetime licence, which suits a seasonal or short-term need

Trade-offs

  • Statutory updates depend on Tally Software Services, which renews separately after the included term
  • TallyPrime is desktop software, so remote access is a separately priced add-on rather than a default

How to choose a vendor

Count GSTINs and documents, not users

Most meters on this page are set by registration count and document volume. Octa GST Standard covers one GSTIN and 3,000 sales plus 3,000 purchase invoices a year at ₹25,000. GSTZen practitioner packages are sized at 25 or 50 GSTINs with a stated limit of 2,000 documents per GSTIN per month. Gen GST states unlimited GSTIN registrations on its desktop editions. Count both numbers before comparing figures.

Separate the licence from the annual update

Several Indian vendors split the first-year price from the yearly renewal that carries statutory changes. Gen GST publishes ₹5,000 for desktop e-filing installation and ₹2,000 a year for updation. TallyPrime bundles Tally Software Services with the Gold plans and sells renewal separately. Marg ERP prices per edition with 18 percent GST extra and ₹3,000 for each additional user. A twelve-month comparison using only the entry figure understates every one of these.

Frequently asked questions

Which products on this page publish a price?

Five of the ten publish a figure on their own site. SAG Infotech publishes four Gen GST editions from ₹5,000 installation plus ₹2,000 a year updation. Octa GST publishes ₹25,000 a year for the Standard plan. Marg publishes Nano at ₹5,550 through Gold at ₹26,000. TallyPrime publishes Silver at ₹22,500 lifetime and Gold at ₹67,500. GSTZen publishes pay-as-you-go rates of ₹5 per API call and ₹25 per JSON conversion, though its packaged plan figures render client-side. ClearTax, Express GST, Web-e-GST, Winman GST and Saral GST publish no rate card.

What is a GST Suvidha Provider and does it matter?

A GST Suvidha Provider is an entity authorised to connect to the government GST system through its API. Octa GST, through Blowbits Solutions, and GSTZen, through CloudZen Software Labs, both state GSP status. The practical difference is the filing path. A GSP-connected product can push returns and pull GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B and Invoice Management System data through the API. A product without that connection, such as Marg ERP 9+, generates a JSON file that the user uploads to the portal manually.

Do these products cover the annual returns GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C?

Not all of them. ClearTax states GSTR-1 through GSTR-9C. Gen GST names GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C explicitly. Express GST lists GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C filing. Web-e-GST states GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C. Winman GST stops at GSTR-9 on its product page with no stated GSTR-9C support. A business that needs a reconciliation statement certified alongside the annual return should confirm GSTR-9C coverage in writing before buying.

Which products suit a chartered accountant practice rather than a single business?

Five are written for practices. GSTZen sizes its packages at 25 and 50 client GSTINs and runs Autopilot across 50 at once. Express GST offers PAN-level filing, multiple logins and auto supplier reminders. Gen GST states unlimited GSTIN registrations on both desktop editions. Winman GST sits alongside CA-ERP and TDS from the same vendor. Marg sells a separate CA edition that keeps client data on the practitioner machine. Octa GST Standard, by contrast, covers one GSTIN.

How should a buyer compare a per-GSTIN price with a per-licence price?

Model twelve months against the real client list. A per-GSTIN package such as the GSTZen 25 or 50 GSTIN plans scales directly with client count and caps documents at 2,000 per GSTIN per month. A per-licence product such as Gen GST desktop states unlimited registrations, so a practice adding clients pays nothing more until it adds a seat. Octa GST Standard is priced per GSTIN at ₹25,000 a year, which is economical for one registration and expensive for twenty.

Does Invoice Management System support matter when choosing?

It does for any business claiming input tax credit at volume. The Invoice Management System requires a recipient to accept, reject or keep pending each inward invoice before it flows into GSTR-2B. ClearTax, Octa GST, GSTZen, Express GST and Saral GST all state Invoice Management System handling, and Octa GST and Saral GST specifically describe bulk or status-marked actions. A product without it pushes that work back to the portal.

What should a buyer confirm before signing?

Confirm four things in writing. First, the GSTIN count and the document limit the price covers, because both meters appear on this page. Second, whether the annual renewal that carries statutory updates is included or charged separately, as it is at Gen GST and TallyPrime. Third, which forms beyond GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are supported, since GSTR-9C, GSTR-7 and ITC-04 coverage varies. Fourth, where client data is stored, which is the explicit difference between the Marg CA edition and the cloud platforms here.
