We have downloaded the GSTR1 offline tool from GST portal -> Downloads. After installing the application, we imported the excel file ( Excel file downloaded along with utility ) and created the JSON file. But, while we upload the same in the GST portal, we are getting error message, asking us to use the latest version of the offline tool. The version of the offline tool, which we have downloaded is V3.1.4. Is this the latest version ? If not, what is the latest version and how to download it ? Pls. advice.
