What is BRSR XBRL filing?

BRSR XBRL filing is the electronic submission of Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting data in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format to BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). It became mandatory alongside PDF submissions.

How do I file BRSR XBRL on BSE?

Use the RSustain BRSR XBRL tool to enter your data, validate it against 55 rules, and generate a BSE-compliant XBRL instance document. Download the XML file and upload it to BSE's listing portal.

Is Section A of BRSR XBRL free?

Yes. Section A data entry and validation are always free on RSustain's BRSR XBRL tool. Payment is required only for generating the full XBRL output document (Sections A+B+C).

BRSR XBRL Filing Tool

The Problem

Why BRSR XBRL Filing is Painful

Every listed company knows the pain. SEBI mandates BRSR XBRL filing, but the tools available are either broken, expensive, or both.

😓

BSE Excel Utility is Clunky

The free BSE utility uses complex Excel macros that crash, lack validation, and produce XML errors. Companies spend weeks fighting with formatting issues only to face rejection.

💰

IRIS CARBON Costs ₹3-5 Lakhs

Enterprise XBRL tools like IRIS CARBON charge ₹3-5 lakhs per filing. That is overkill for mid-cap companies that just need compliant XBRL output from their existing data.

🕑

CA Firms Take Weeks

Outsourcing to a CA firm costs ₹1-2 lakhs, takes 2-4 weeks, and you still end up doing most of the data collection yourself. Plus zero visibility until the final output.

Features

Why This Tool is Different

Built by ESG practitioners who have filed 50+ BRSR reports. Every feature exists because we have felt the pain ourselves.

🎯

Sector Benchmarks

While entering data, see inline hints like "Top quartile in IT/BPO: 45% renewable energy." Know where you stand.

⚡

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the XBRL output accepted by BSE/NSE?

Yes. Our XBRL generator produces XML instance documents following the BSE BRSR taxonomy structure with proper namespace declarations, contexts, units, and element tags. The output is designed to be uploaded directly to the BSE filing portal.

What if I do not have all the data ready?

You can save your progress at any time and resume later. The tool saves drafts both locally (in your browser) and on our servers (with an assessment ID). Fill Section A first (it is free) and gather the remaining data at your own pace.

Can I import my previous year's BRSR data?

Yes. Export your previous filing as JSON and import it into the tool. All fields will be pre-filled and year-on-year changes will be highlighted automatically. This saves approximately 60% of data entry time for repeat filers.

How is this different from the BRSR Report Generator service?

The BRSR Report Generator (starting ₹50,000) is a full-service offering where our team prepares the complete BRSR report for you. This XBRL tool (starting ₹14,999) is a self-service tool where you enter your own data and we generate the XBRL output. If you already have the data, the tool is faster and more affordable.

What sectors do the benchmarks cover?

Our benchmark database covers 14 sectors: IT/BPO, BFSI, Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Steel & Cement, Energy & Power, Real Estate, Textiles, Automobiles, FMCG, Chemicals, Telecom, Infrastructure, and Mining. Each sector has median and quartile data for 8 key metrics.

Is my data secure?

Your data is stored securely on our servers with unique assessment IDs. We do not share your data with any third party. All communications are encrypted via HTTPS. You can also use the tool in offline mode (localStorage only) if you prefer not to save to our servers.

Do I get a GST invoice?

Yes. All payments include 18% GST. You will receive a GST-compliant invoice via email within 24 hours of payment. Our GST number and company details are included on the invoice.
