01Does KhataPilot file my GST or TDS returns?
No. KhataPilot works out the amounts and records them when you say so. You mark each one deposited once paid. Filing stays with you or your CA, who can export entries as CSV, XLSX or Tally XML from the CA portal.
02Is TDS worked out on every bill?
Only on bills whose vendor or category has a TDS section, once the payee's total for the month or tax year crosses the section's threshold - until then the entry says no TDS yet. Without a PAN, the no-PAN rate (usually 20%) applies and the entry says why.
03Which reverse charge cases are covered?
If you file GST as a regular taxpayer, KhataPilot works out reverse charge on rent from an unregistered landlord at 18%, along with the input credit. Other cases, like import of services, are flagged for review rather than calculated.
04Are TDS and reverse charge recorded without me?
No. TDS and reverse charge are quoted on the entry, and nothing is recorded until you click Record deductions. A deduction that was never actually made would throw off the vendor's balance, so the decision stays yours.
05How does KhataPilot decide between CGST + SGST and IGST?
From your state and the place of supply. A customer in your own state gets CGST + SGST; one in another state gets IGST. The place of supply comes from the customer's GSTIN, so the chip on the invoice flips the moment you pick them.
06What is reverse charge, and when does it apply?
When you buy from an unregistered supplier - office rent from an unregistered landlord is the common case - you pay the GST to the government instead of the supplier. KhataPilot adds it to the entry, records it as owed, and shows the input credit that comes back.
