Following key questions follow:

1- Payment and Receipt vouchers to be reported in GSTR-1 are pertaining to only GST related transactions or it is also required to report other expenses, loans & advance etc.

2- If it is only to be reported related to GST related transactions, then:

a- For Payment Vouchers - Is it relating to payment against normal purchases of inward supplies of goods or services or does it relates to payments relating to reverse charge self invoices.

If it relates to reverse charge self invoices also, then do we also need to show these invoice numbers in invoice nos. column in document section in GSTR-1.

3- Receipt Vouchers - Is it only relating to advance received relating to GST invoices or all payments relating to GST invoices and other receipts non-related to GST transactions.
