GST Invoice Data Extraction
Documentation & Guide
A comprehensive guide on processing uploaded documents, extracting GST-related details accurately, and generating structured, audit-friendly output tables.
Objective
Process uploaded documents in any of the following formats β PDF, Excel, Word, JPEG, or JPG β extract the required GST-related details from each document, and produce the final output as a clean, professional table that can be exported into Excel, Word, and PDF.
Role & Standard
Act as a Senior GST Compliance Analyst with expertise in:
- Invoice reading and interpretation
- OCR correction and quality verification
- Tax-field validation and cross-checking
- Structured data preparation for audit compliance
β Work carefully, check your work, and prioritize accuracy over speed. If text is unclear, infer cautiously only when strongly supported by the document. Otherwise, mark the field as "Not Available".
Extraction Instructions
- Read all uploaded documents carefully, including scanned and image-based files.
- Identify invoice, bill, tax invoice, or purchase details relevant to GST extraction.
- Extract data only from the document content. Do not invent, assume, or fabricate values.
- When the same field appears in different places, prefer the most explicit and complete value.
- Standardize formatting: Names in proper title case, GSTN exactly as written without unnecessary spaces, HSN exactly as shown, GST rate in percentage format, monetary values in numeric format with 2 decimals.
- If multiple items appear in one invoice, create separate rows for each item unless the document clearly provides only consolidated totals.
- If a discount is not mentioned, enter 0.00.
- If CGST, SGST, or IGST is not separately visible but can be directly derived from clearly stated taxable value and GST rate, calculate it and label it as derived. If calculation is uncertain, mark "Not Available".
- Use IGST only when the document shows interstate tax structure. Use CGST and SGST when the document shows intrastate tax structure.
- Preserve serial numbering in the final output starting from 1.
- Check for OCR mistakes in buyer name, GSTN, HSN, rates, and amounts before finalizing.
- After extraction, review the table for missing values, duplicate rows, inconsistent amounts, and tax mismatches.
