Typogaphical error in GST 3B sales 19-20

[DK AGGARWAL]

Respected Sir/Madam

In the GST- FY 19-20 (when GST sale data was not auto populated), my accountant made a typo error by giving sales figure in monthly 3B GST return as 55000000/- instead of 5500000/-. The taxable figures under the head CGST/IGST/SGST are shown correctly. The GST-1 was uploaded correctly. The tax is correctly paid on correct GST-1 sales but under Total sales column it is shown wrongly.

A note was given by my CA in Form 9, FY 19-20 about the above mistake. Please guide what reply should be given to GST Audit department. I understand many of the GST dealers have done similar type of mistake and are getting notices from the department about mismatch.

Your early guidance shall be highly appreciated.

Regards

D K Aggarwal

GST 3B Typo: Sales Figure Error Corrected with Accurate Tax Paid; Chartered Accountant Highlights Discrepancy in Form 9 A user reported a typographical error in their GST 3B return for FY 19-20, where the sales figure was mistakenly entered as 55,000,000 instead of 5,500,000. Despite the error, the correct tax was paid based on accurate figures in GST-1. The user's chartered accountant noted the discrepancy in Form 9. Responses advised that since the tax was correctly paid, the financial reconciliation should be explainable without revenue impact. Another response highlighted that if the turnover was overstated in 3B, additional tax would have been paid, suggesting a review of this aspect.
