According to Hon’ble Supreme Court’s directive filing of TRAN forms was made available for aggrieved taxpayers during 01.10.2022 to 30.11.2022. It has been observed that, in the process of filing TRAN forms, few taxpayers have submitted their forms on the portal but did not finally File it within the specified time. After submitting the Tran Forms, only filing was to be done with e-sign. Further, it is seen that such taxpayers have not raised any ticket for difficulty faced by them in filing Tran Forms. Some taxpayers were also contacted by GSTN and they informed that they do not intend to file TRAN forms. As the TRAN forms of these taxpayers are submitted but not filed, these taxpayers are not able to file their GSTR-3B.

The TRAN filing window has already been closed. Hence, such taxpayers are advised to raise a ticket on GST Grievance Portal giving consent that their TRAN filing status may be reset by GSTN. Once the consent for resetting their unfiled TRAN forms is received, the TRAN forms will be reset and the taxpayer will be able to file their GSTR-3B.

Thanking You,
Team GSTN

TRAN filing status reset enables taxpayers to complete GSTR-3B after unfiled TRAN submissions; consent required via grievance portal. Submission without final e-sign of TRAN forms during the reopening prevented taxpayers from filing their GSTR-3B; affected taxpayers must raise a ticket on the GST Grievance Portal consenting to a reset of unfiled TRAN status, after which GSTN will reset the TRAN forms and enable GSTR-3B filing.
