Correction in GSTR 3B AFTER FILLING GSTR 1

[Mohit Dhawan]

Dear Sir,

I have wrongly mention our Export amount in Column 3.1 a instead of 3.1 b in GSTR 3B due to which my export Invoices has not been sent to Icegate for refund. I came to know this only after filling GSTR1.. Now when i am trying to rectify GSTR 3B of July and August, as i use the edit option, it says it cannot be rectified as GSTR1 has benn filled.

I request you to please provide me the solution to rectify and to separate the amount from table 3.1A t table 3.1B in GSTR 3B.

GSTR-3B has been freezed. The reopening or defreezing of return is possible only through jurisdictional GST Range Officer/Divisional Officer who may forward your request to Common Portal System. Such like bona fide error should not cause financial loss to the assessee.

Govt. is liberal regarding exports. If you make efforts, I hope you will be able to get the same rectified. Since Annual Return is still to be filed, you may get an opportunity to rectify your error. Do not hesitate to see the higher officers of the department for resolving this problem. I am sure the department will listen to you and will find some way-out.. Give in writing to the jurisdictional GST Officer. Do not delay.

As advised by Sri Sethi please contact the jurisdictional officer. You can rectify on filing of Annual return as advised by him.
