Important considerations that need to be taken into account while filing GSTR-1
Businesses need to be careful to file correctly. This is especially important right now because there have been several due date extensions that require taxpayers to upload GST returns for multiple periods at once, and choosing the correct period is very important. 

Businesses need to be careful to avoid duplicating invoices. Further, it is important to correctly categorise goods under the correct HSN codes and make sure to charge the correct tax rate. Mentioning the right tax type, i.e., CGST, SGST, IGST, is also important.

Further, details of aggregate turnover in the previous year and a valid digital signature will also be required when filing GSTR-1.
