A search for KDK Spectrum GST lands on two products. The Spectrum desktop package is income tax and TDS; KDK’s GST filing lives in Spectrum Cloud, a browser suite for CA firms. It files returns, reconciles 2A and 2B and pulls invoices from Tally. Greenote does not file.
Greenote is the other end of that pipe. Spectrum Cloud pulls invoices from Tally; Greenote is how bank entries and purchase bills get into Tally, and it checks the 2B, GSTR-1 and 3B against those books on your own PC. Use a filing suite to file. Use Greenote so that what you file from is right.
Who KDK Spectrum GST suits
A CA firm that wants income tax, TDS and GST filing in one cloud suite.
A practice that wants clients’ invoices pulled from their Tally without asking for a backup.
