GSTR3B and GSTR2B amount autopopulated - if we do corrections - Portal giving Red colour

[venkataraman swaminathan]

Dear Sir

Good Morning

For the month of Nov 20 , when we try to filing activity in GST Portal

for GSTR-3B return the system shows the auto-populated figures of GSTR-2B in liability column /Table and also in ITC Tables . But the system GST Portal liability RCM figures are not correct (which is less ) and hence we changed the correct liability figures (higher amount than the auto populated amount) of TTO and GST tax amount . the system shows immediately the TURTLE Box as RED colour .

when we enquired with some people , IF we continue to filing our RETURN with red colour indication , the Department will send automatic SCN to the tax payer.etc.. information.

Request your guidance on the GST Portal behaviour and any consequences on the Red colour indication in GSTR-3B return blocks .. from Nov 20...

Thanking you

V Swaminathan

correctly explained, it is a type of alert. even after successfully filing of GSTR-3B, you will while downloading your return from gst portal you will see red colors sign on the tables under GSTR-3B dashboard.

We can claim GST ITC on self assessement basis. Please ignore the red errors.
