We connect GST workflows in your system to the GST Network through a GST Suvidha Provider (GSP).

Business software generally cannot talk to the GST systems directly for these services. A GSP is an entity authorised to provide that access, and it sits between your billing and the government portals. Choosing a GSP and connecting it once gives your system a single route for e-Invoices, e-Way Bills, GSTIN checks and return preparation.

What we build with it

  • e-Invoice and e-Way Bill submission
  • GST return data preparation
  • GSTIN validation

How it works

  1. You sign up with a GSP of your choice and authorise it for your GSTIN on the relevant government portals.
  2. The GSP issues API credentials, which are stored server-side in your system.
  3. When a GST action is needed, the system sends the request to the GSP in the prescribed format.
  4. The GSP passes it to the government system and returns the response — an IRN, an e-Way Bill number, a GSTIN status or an error.

Data exchanged

  • Invoice and return data
  • GSTIN details
  • Portal acknowledgements

What is needed to set it up

  • An agreement with a GSP
  • API credentials
  • GSTIN authorisation for the GSP

Good to know

  • GSPs charge for their services, usually by volume or package. Pricing is agreed directly between you and the GSP.
  • Your invoice data passes through the GSP, so choose one whose data handling terms you are comfortable with.
  • Government portals have planned downtime and occasional outages. The system queues requests and retries rather than losing them.
