# Dashboard & Widgets

GST Manager gives you two places to keep an eye on your GST position: the **Dashboard** tab
inside the module, and three **widgets on the WHMCS admin home page** that surface the key
numbers the moment you log in. Both report on the **Indian financial year (1 April – 31 March)**
rather than the calendar year, so the figures line up with how you file.

*Addons → GST Manager → Dashboard*

::: info Financial year, the Indian way
GST returns and income are reported against India's financial year — **April to March** — not
the January–December calendar year. Every period in these views (This FY, Last FY) follows that
Apr–Mar boundary.
:::

## The in-module Dashboard

Open **Addons → GST Manager → Dashboard** for the full picture: invoice **counts**, **tax
breakdowns**, and **charts** that show how your GST is trending. Use the period filters —
**This FY** and **Last FY**, plus monthly and calendar-year views — to switch the whole
dashboard between time ranges. It's the place to sanity-check your numbers before filing, and it
also hosts the full **Compliance Health** panel (see below).

## The three admin-home widgets

GST Manager adds three widgets to the WHMCS admin home page. Like any admin-home widget, each
admin can **collapse, hide, reorder and refresh** them independently — so every team member sees
the layout they prefer.

| Widget | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **Billing** | Income received (**excluding GST**) for Today, This Month, This FY (Apr–Mar) and Last FY. |
| **GST Collected** | Total GST collected — **IGST + CGST + SGST** — for the same periods. |
| **GST Compliance Health** | An overall rating plus three checks (below), each with direct links to anything that needs fixing. |

::: warning Widgets appear only while licensed
The three widgets show only while your GST Manager license is **active**. If they disappear,
check **Global Settings → License Information** — see [licensing](/gst-manager-whmcs/licensing).
:::

## The compliance checks

The **GST Compliance Health** widget runs three checks and gives you an overall rating so you can
tell at a glance whether anything needs attention:

* **Supplier GSTIN** — is *your* GSTIN configured and valid? Correct tax rules depend on it.
* **Malformed client GSTINs** — any client whose stored GSTIN isn't a valid 15-character number.
  A bad client GSTIN can push an invoice into the wrong B2B/B2C bucket at filing time.
* **Zero-tax domestic invoices this FY** — paid invoices for Indian clients that carry no GST,
  which usually signals a missing or misapplied tax rule.

Each failing check lists the offending clients or invoices with **direct links**, so you can jump
straight to the problem. Press **View Issues** to open the full **Compliance Health** panel on
the GST Manager dashboard for the complete breakdown.

::: tip Fix issues before you file
Clearing the compliance checks each month means your [tax reports](/gst-manager-whmcs/features/tax-reports)
export clean data with no last-minute surprises.
