Trans-1 Return Filing

[MohanLal tiwari]

Dear Sir/s,

We are going to opt for submitting Trans-1 and utilize the Cenevat balance as well as transitional credits for payment of GST against outward supplies of July'17 but facing problem for followings.

1. No excel utility provided for submitting C Form details beyond 100 nos.

2. We have submitted details of 100 C Form, but after filing it is showing only up to Sl 41, the remaining are disappeared. but if we submit again it shows ' duplicate not allowed'.

3. Where to fill details of Service Tax Invoices of transitional period i.e. issued in June but received and accounted far in July'17.

4. How we can utilize the available credit balances of Cenvat without filing Trans-1 if the required changes for C form details and Service tax Invoices are not uploaded by tomorrow i.e. 25/08/17.

Firstly you must be aware that software of GST (Common Portal) is not perfect. It is overloaded and often goes under repair. Still improvement is in progress. Secondly do not worry about last date. It is not your fault. Due to snag in the site or common portal, last date may be extended. Thirdly you will not suffer loss. Do not worry at all. You will get your substantial right of ITC. Moreover, you may also be in touch with Helpdesk as advised by Sh.Ranganathan Sir.

Pl.read "Substantive" in place of "Substantial".

Thanks Sir, please keep us updated as I could neither filed Trans-1 Nor GSTR-3B.

Please also advise whether liability payable if any due to non receipt of C Forms can be adjusted against Cenvat credit being transferred to GST portal through TRANS-1.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Yes. It is your right. Wait for upgradation/improvement into the software of GST.

Sir,

Some of experts have advised not to file VAT Credit & pending C / H / I Form details or file with zero - zero figures as no liability is payable if you do have balance in VAT credit to carry forward.

Is it correct and have some authenticity?

In my opinion, if above is correct, most of manufactures / suppliers are having very less amount of VAT credit in compare to liability arising against non receipt of C / H / I form and will not file or file TRANS -1 with zero - zero figures and will opt this option.

[KASTURI SETHI]

I shall revert soon with clear cut reply and full of legal force' wait for.

AI Summary

Transitional Input Tax Credit requires filing TRANS-1 before credits can be used; portal issues may delay filing but not entitlement. Transitional input tax credits require submission of TRANS-1 on the GST portal before credits can be utilised; technical portal issues (C-form upload limits, missing entries) should be raised with the helpdesk and may attract deadline extensions. Service-tax transitional invoices must be reported in TRANS-1 using the designated row (row 7(b)), and credits cannot be used in GSTR-3B without filing TRANS-1. Filing TRANS-1 with zeroed C-form figures is an advised workaround by some but remains legally uncertain and risk-prone; authoritative correction and confirmation is preferable.
