About GSTR-8 JSON validation
GSTR-8 is filed by e-commerce operators required to collect tax at source under GST. The return JSON may contain supplier-wise supplies, returns, amendments, and TCS details that need to match the official GSTN technical specification.
Use this GSTR-8 JSON schema validator to inspect the file in your browser before uploading it to the GST portal. It can help tax teams find schema validation errors without uploading confidential transaction data to Octa GST servers.
Frequently asked questions
Is my JSON file uploaded to Octa GST?
No. The validator reads the file in your browser and runs schema validation on your device. The JSON file is not uploaded to Octa GST servers.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. These GST JSON validation tools are absolutely free to use.
Does a valid result mean my return is ready to file?
A valid result means the JSON matches the configured schema. It does not replace tax review, GST portal validations, or business-rule checks beyond the schema.
How do I use this validator?
Choose a GST return JSON file from your computer or drag and drop it into the upload box. Validation starts immediately after the browser reads the file.
Where do the schema rules come from?
The schema rules come from the official technical specification published by the Government GST system, GSTN. Each validator uses the corresponding GSTN JSON schema file configured in this website repository.
Can this help with the GST portal schema validation failed error?
Yes. If the GST portal shows "Schema Validation Failed. Download the latest version of Offline tool to generate the JSON file", this validator can help you identify schema-level issues in the JSON before trying the upload again.
