My CA filed gst to a wrong state

[Sasidhar D]

Dear Sir,

SBI is my tenent who pays monthly rent with input GST tax.

My CA has been filing my gst returns for wrong sbi gst ID in Telangana instead of correct sbi gst vendor ID of Andra Pradesh.

I did not receive any notice from official GST department. However, my tenent, sbi has put a bank lien and is about to recover the gst error amounts paid to Telengana since 2022.

My tenent, sbi, did not send any notices from 2022 regarding this gst filing error. Two weeks ago, sbi sent me the following notice.

'We hereby inform you that you have submitted monthly invoices with your GST 37AFFPD0364L2ZH on our Bank GST 37AAACS8577K1ZO towards the proportionate payment of monthly rent of SBILD Tirupati since 29.01.2022 to till date. Based on the invoices submitted by you, we have paid the rent along with the GST amount for the above period. Of late, it is informed by our Corporate Centre, we have not received any Input Tax Credit from your GST 37AFFPD0364L2ZH. We have verified the GSTR-2A returns and did not find any GST filed on our Bank GST 37AAACS8577K1ZO for the above period and we found that you have filed the GST returns with wrong GST 36AAACS8577K1ZQ. As per GST guidelines, our Bank is entitled to claim the 50% Input Tax Credit from the Government on the GST amount paid to vendor. Hence you are advised to pay the tax amount of Rs. 4,92,883/- within one week to our SBI LD Tirupati which is 50% of the GST amount Rs. 9,85,765/- paid to you from 29.01.2022 up to 31.03.2024 as per the invoice dates. You are also advised to verify the invoices from 01.04.2024 to till date and rectify GST Returns as per the invoices with the mentioned GST number 37AAACS8577K1ZO of our bank which enable us to avail the input tax credit.'

Questions:

1. Now that, I have paid twice my gst returns ( once wrongly to Telangana state) and now, second time, SBI is about to collect this gst error amount for second time.

What are my options (solutions) to resolve this issue.

I also do not mind hiring a good gst consultant who can help me with this issue.

Trillion thanks for your input.
