A user found a difference in the GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B comparison report during GST audit, though individual monthly values matched. The mismatch appeared as a doubled cumulative amount for October 2025. Suggestions included checking amendments, adjustments, and reconciliation logic.

Check Amendments and Adjustments: Discrepancies often arise from amendments made in subsequent months that impact the cumulative totals but may not be immediately obvious when spot-checking individual months.
Analyze Reconciliation Reports: Review the specific "comparison report" logic, as these tools sometimes aggregate data differently based on the filing date versus the tax period.
Re-run Reconciliation: If individual months are confirmed as correct, re-run the reconciliation process to ensure that all credit notes, debit notes, or late filings were correctly captured in the software’s cumulative calculation.

sir, Thanks for spending time for me . I got this report from after login-return - tax liabilites& comparison . This mistake found by me in oct 2025 . Exactly double amount . I have not done any such amendment in my memory . I check gst 1 and gstr 3b value is correct. I have no other software for checking this and I not know " re- run reconciliation ". Please advise Binu
Adding to the previous points, here are a few specific things to check regarding that October 2025 anomaly:
Check for Table 9A / Amendments: Even if you don't recall making an amendment, check if any previous period amendment (Table 9A of GSTR-1) was pushed or auto-adjusted in the October return cycle. This frequently skews cumulative portal views.
Portal Caching / System Glitch: The GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B comparison report on the GST portal frequently suffers from dynamic computation lag where cumulative totals temporarily double. If your individual monthly tax liability and cash/credit ledger offsets match your books of accounts, you can safely rely on your books and filed returns.
Download Offline JSON/Excel: Instead of the online dashboard view, try downloading the detailed Excel/JSON files for October from the portal to see if a specific table row is triggering the duplicate computation.
Since your individual monthly filings are verified and correct, this is typically a portal-side reporting quirk rather than an actual tax short-payment.
