How do I download the TCS statement from the GST portal?

1. Log in at gst.gov.in.

2. Go to Services → Returns → TDS and TCS credit received.

3. Select the Financial Year and Return Filing Period (month) from the dropdowns and click SEARCH.

4. On the TDS and TCS credit received tile, download the statement as Excel (.xlsx) - the file is named like GSTIN_Jul_2026.xlsx.

5. Upload it to AprilTax exactly as downloaded - don't open and re-save it, and don't edit anything.

💡 The statement only fills up after the marketplaces file their GSTR-8 - by the 10th of the next month. Empty statement before the 10th? That's why. Sheet 5 of the file is what AprilTax reads (TCS credit received). Official reference: GST portal manual - TDS and TCS Credit Received.
