Step by step guide
Your monthly GST invoices, start to finish
Every month, KFIN and CAMS need a signed GST invoice from you for each fund house, uploaded by around the 15th. This page shows the whole thing, one small step at a time. No computer skills needed beyond downloading a file and uploading it back.

Part 1 · KFIN
Fund houses serviced by KFIN
Six small steps. Steps 1 to 3 happen on the KFIN website, steps 4 and 5 in MFD Office, step 6 back on KFIN. If you only file on CAMS, skip ahead to Part 2.
1
On the KFIN website
Sign in to the KFIN distributor portal
Open dss.kfintech.com in your browser and sign in with your KFIN login. Then open the GST Invoice Management section.
dss.kfintech.com›Sign in›GST Invoice Management
1 is GST Invoice Management, at the foot of the side menu. It opens the two screens you need: 2 for your invoices, 3 for the template and the upload. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.
2
On the KFIN website
Download the month's invoice ZIP
Inside GST Invoice Management, open GST Invoice / Credit Note Download and download the ZIP file for the month. It holds one invoice file per fund house.
Leave Report Type on Invoice. 1 is your fund houses, 2 is the trail month, 3 is Download. Your broker code is filled in already. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.You get a file like: All_Funds_GST_June-2026~ARN-XXXXXX.zip
3
On the KFIN website
Download the Excel template
Still inside GST Invoice Management, open Signed GST Invoice Upload. Stay on the Excel Based Upload tab, choose the same month in Select Month first, then click Generate Excel Template. KFIN gives you a prefilled Excel sheet, one row per invoice. Do not type anything into it. MFD Office fills it for you.
1 is Select Month, and it must be chosen first. 2 is Generate Excel Template. The link does nothing until a month is picked. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.You get a file like: GST_Invoice_Template_2026-06.xlsx
💡You now have 2 files. Keep them together, for example in one folder on your computer, or just in Downloads.

In MFD Office
Upload both files and make your invoices
Sign in to MFD Office and open the Generate tab. Choose your ARN, choose KFIN as the registrar, and upload the two files from steps 2 and 3. Tick the fund houses you want, then press Make all invoices.
mfdoffice.com›Generate›Choose KFIN›Upload 2 files›Make all invoices
MFD Office reads KFIN's own figures, makes a GST invoice for every fund house, puts your signature on each one, and fills the Excel template to match. Every number stays exactly as KFIN computed it. You can preview one invoice free before you decide.

In MFD Office
Download your finished set
When it is ready, download your bundle. It has the signed invoice for every fund house plus the completed Excel template, in the exact format KFIN expects. Nothing to edit.

Back on the KFIN website
Upload the set back to KFIN
Go back to dss.kfintech.com › GST Invoice Management › Signed GST Invoice Upload, pick the same month again, and click Upload Signed Invoices. Send the signed invoices and the completed Excel template you just downloaded. That is KFIN done for the month.

Same screen as step 3. 1 is Upload Signed Invoices, the link just under the one you used for the template. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.
Part 2 · CAMS
Fund houses serviced by CAMS
Six small steps. One difference to know: on CAMS the two files come from two different screens. You ask for the invoice ZIP on one screen and CAMS emails it to you, and you take the Excel template from another screen. This guide keeps them apart so they never get mixed up.
1
On the CAMS website
Sign in on camsonline.com
Open camsonline.com, go to the Distributors / RIA tab, then Service Requests, then Distributor Mailback Services, and sign in with your CAMS login. In the row of links that appears, open GST Invoice Management.
1 is GST Invoice Management in the row of links. 2 is GST Invoice Download in the side menu, which you use in the next step. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.
2
On the CAMS website
Ask CAMS for the month's invoice ZIP
In the side menu, open GST Invoice Download. Pick your fund houses, then pick the payment month and year. Under Output format, choose Separate PDF for each AMC (ZIP). Then press Submit. CAMS then sends the invoices to the email address registered with them. Open that inbox and save the ZIP. It holds one invoice per fund house.
GST Invoice Management›GST Invoice Download›Pick funds and month›Choose ZIP›Submit
⚠️Choose the ZIP. Output format has two choices. Single PDF - All AMC puts every invoice on separate pages of one file. Separate PDF for each AMC (ZIP) gives you one file for each fund house. Pick the ZIP.
1 is the fund house picker, select every fund house. 2 is the payment month and year. 3 is Output format, choose Separate PDF for each AMC (ZIP). Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.
💡Email not arrived? Search your inbox for "CAMS" and check the spam folder. If nothing arrives at all, you may not be registered for the Distributor Mailback Service yet, which you can do on camsonline.com.
3
On the CAMS website
Take the Excel report from the same email
The CAMS email holds two things. One is the ZIP of invoices. The other is an Excel file whose name starts with GST_REPORT. That Excel file is the one MFD Office needs. It already has the taxable value and the GST amounts filled in by CAMS. Save both files from the email into the same folder. Do not type anything into the sheet. MFD Office fills the rest for you.
Your email from CAMS›Save the invoice ZIP›Save the GST_REPORT Excel file ✓
⚠️Do not use the Download Template button. The GST Invoice Upload - Multiple AMCs screen has a Download Template link. That gives a different Excel file. It looks the same, but the taxable value and GST columns are empty. It is meant for distributors who write their own invoices. If you use it, your figures come out as zero.
This is the Download Template button, marked 3. Do not use it for the Excel report. Use the GST_REPORT file from your CAMS email instead. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.
💡You now have 2 files, and both came from the same email. The invoice ZIP, and the Excel file whose name starts with GST_REPORT. Keep them together.

In MFD Office
Upload both files and make your invoices
Sign in to MFD Office and open the Generate tab. Choose your ARN, choose CAMS as the registrar, and upload the two files: the ZIP from your email and the Excel from the CAMS website. Tick the fund houses you want, then press Make all invoices.
mfdoffice.com›Generate›Choose CAMS›Upload 2 files›Make all invoices
MFD Office reads CAMS's own figures, makes a GST invoice for every fund house, puts your signature on each one, and fills the sheet to match. Every number stays exactly as CAMS computed it. You can preview one invoice free before you decide.

Back on the CAMS website
Upload the set back to CAMS
Go back to GST Invoice Upload - Multiple AMCs and scroll down. Put the ZIP of signed invoices in the first box and the completed Excel sheet in the second box, then press Submit. That is CAMS done for the month.
camsonline.com›GST Invoice Management›GST Invoice Upload - Multiple AMCs›Upload your set ✓
1 takes the ZIP of signed invoices. 2 takes the completed Excel sheet. Both come from your MFD Office download. Slide the picture sideways to see all of it.
KFIN goes by the trail month
The month the brokerage was earned. Both KFIN files must be for that same month.
CAMS goes by the payment month
The month the brokerage is paid. Both CAMS files must be for that same month.
🗓️The window is usually the 7th to the 15th of each month. Upload within it. If you miss it, the GST on that month's brokerage may not be paid to you until you upload a valid signed invoice.
After your invoices are done, two more jobs get easy
Uploading to the registrar gets the fund houses to pay you. But your GST work is not over: every invoice still has to be reported in your GSTR-1, and you still have to check the money actually arrives. MFD Office does both from the same invoices you just made. Nothing to retype.
Your GSTR-1, prepared from the same invoices
By hand · on the GST portal
Typing every line yourself
Hours, every month
·Open every invoice and copy its details one by one
·Type each fund house's GSTIN, invoice number, and tax split into the portal
·One wrong digit in a GSTIN means a mismatch with the fund house's return
·Do it again next month, and every month
With MFD Office
One click, one file
A minute or two
✓Open the GST return tab and pick the month
✓Your KFIN and CAMS invoices are already there, with each fund house's GSTIN read from the invoice itself
✓Download one file made for the GST portal, plus an Excel your CA can check
Money In: check that every fund house actually paid you
By hand · bank statement
Hunting through entries
Easy to miss a short payment
·Brokerage and its 18% GST arrive as separate payments, at different times
·A bank statement never shows what a fund house still owes you
·A short payment of a few hundred rupees looks like any other credit entry
·Most MFDs simply never check
With MFD Office
Every invoice, checked as paid
Minutes a month
✓The Money In tab already knows what each fund house owes you, from your invoices
✓Brokerage and GST tracked separately, because they arrive separately
✓Upload a bank statement and payments are matched for you to confirm
✓Plain warnings like "SBI has paid ₹500 less brokerage than your invoice"
The invoices, the Excel sheets, the GSTR-1 file, and the payment check all come from one upload of the files you already download. Do it by hand and each of those is its own hours of work.
See it with your own file, free
Upload your KFIN or CAMS file and see one of your real, signed invoices. No signup, no card.
You ask for it on camsonline.com. Open GST Invoice Management, then GST Invoice Download, pick your fund houses and the payment month, and press Submit. CAMS sends the invoices to the email address registered with them. The same email also carries the Excel report, named GST_REPORT. Use that file. Do not use the Download Template button on the upload screen, because that sheet has no amounts in it.
Where do I get the KFIN Excel template?
On dss.kfintech.com, inside GST Invoice Management, open Signed GST Invoice Upload, pick the month, then click Generate Excel Template. Do not type anything into the sheet; MFD Office fills it for you.
Which month do the files belong to?
KFIN goes by the trail month, the month the brokerage was earned. CAMS goes by the payment month, the month the brokerage is paid. On each side, both files must be for the same month.
Can I try it before creating an account?
Yes. On the free demo you upload your own KFIN or CAMS file and see one of your real, signed invoices made on the spot, with no signup and no card.
Please note: this page is general information, not tax advice. KFIN and CAMS can change their portals, menus, and templates, so always check the current instructions on dss.kfintech.com and camsonline.com, and confirm anything tax-related with your tax advisor.
