GSTR 3B Rectification

[SHUBHAM SHARMA]

I had filled wrongly filled central tax figure of ₹ 2,62,020.00 as 26,20,200.00 under outwards supplies in GSTR 3B and also submitted the data. I had paid tax due as per the correct figure of ₹ 2,62,020.00 but still I had entered wrong figure and submitted data I cannot clear my dues. Now my GSTR 3B is shown as submitted but not filed.

So, I just wanted to know how should I proceed further

First of all you will not suffer loss. Secondly when all the sale and purchase invoices are uploaded and next final return for July, 17 is to be filed, the System will auto rectify. You may contact help desk of Gst.gov.in if not satisfied.

Thanks for your valuable reply sir.

Sir I also wanted to know is there any penalty for non filing of GSTR 3B even when I had submitted the same and also paid the tax due accordingly.

Please contact help desk. They may help you.

Yes. There is provision for penalty. You have submitted. There will be no penalty you. Otherwise also Govt. Has no intention to impose penalty, it being relaxation period for understanding the GST law, is in progress. Keeping in view troubled circumstances in Haryana, Chandigarh, Punjab and Ne Delhi the last date is likely to be further extended. One point to be noted is that correct filing of return will be accepted as filed. GSTR 3 B is initial return. It makes the foundation for Final Return. So you will not find any problems regarding penalty as when final is filed your GSTR 3 B will be automatically corrected. Hence no fault of yours and no penalty upon.

GSTR 3B for July, 17 has been allowed to edit by re-enabling the "Confirm" button in every tab and also the "Submit" button. This is for once. Will not be allowed again. Pl. try.

AI Summary

GST return rectification may allow the system to auto-correct a submitted GSTR-3B upon filing the final return.
The system will auto-rectify a submitted GSTR-3B when sale and purchase invoices are uploaded and the final return is filed, reconciling declared outward supplies with tax payment. Taxpayers should contact the GST helpdesk if automatic correction does not occur. Although penalty provisions exist for non-filing, transitional administrative relaxation makes penalties unlikely where tax was paid correctly; a temporary one-time edit/submit window may be provided to permit correction.
