Error in GSTR-1 filing for July, 2017

[NageswaraRao Sripada]

We have filed data of B2C invoices instead of B2B invoices in the GSTR-1 filed for the month of July, 2017. We understand that we cannot change/modify the already filed GSTR-1. Our receivers are making a mess of the situation as the invoices are being reflected in their GSTR-2A. Is there any solution to set right the problem

You will have to wait for the insertion of provision for amendment in GSTR 3 B for July, 17 and thereafter GSTR-1 will be amended. Your receiver will not suffer loss at all. It is a matter of time only. Improvement in the working of Common Portal System is in progress.

Sir, sales uploaded by you will auto populate to your customers as their purchases. If those details are incorrect then they can reject or modify. If you have not mentioned their details in B2B then they can upload those details in GSTR 2 which will auto populate to you in your GSTR1A. Accept the details. Issue will be resolved. Thanks.

AI Summary

GSTR-1 filing error: buyers can reject or modify auto-populated purchases while an amendment mechanism corrects sellers' returns. A taxpayer uploaded B2C invoices as B2B in a filed GSTR-1 causing incorrect entries in recipients' GSTR-2A; the filed GSTR-1 cannot be directly modified. The practical remedy is to await an amendment mechanism introduced via GSTR-3B provisions so GSTR-1 can be amended. Meanwhile recipients may reject or modify auto-populated purchases in GSTR-2 or upload correct details to auto-populate the seller's GSTR-1A, which the seller can accept; portal improvements are expected to facilitate resolution.
