04 February 2026 Rectifying a GSTR-1 error where an export invoice was wrongly reported as "Export Without Payment" (EXPWOP/WOPAY) instead of "Export With Payment" (EXPORT/WPAY) requires amending the invoice in the "Amended Export Invoices" section (Table 9A) of the GSTR-1 in a subsequent period. Since the GST portal does not allow direct revision of a filed return, you must fix it in the next available GSTR-1.
Here is the step-by-step procedure to rectify this error:
1. Locate the Error in GSTR-1
Log in to the GST Portal and navigate to the Returns Dashboard.
Select the financial year and the tax period in which you are filing the amendment (not the original period).
Go to GSTR-1 Amendment or navigate to "Amended Export Invoices (9A)".
2. Amend the Invoice in Table 9A
Select the "Amended Export Invoices" (Table 9A) tile.
Select the financial year, and enter the original Invoice Number that was wrongly reported.
Click "Amend Invoice".
Change the "GST Payment" dropdown from "Without Payment" to "With Payment" (WPAY).
Correct any other necessary details (Shipping Bill Number, Port Code, Taxable Value, Tax Amount).
Save the amended invoice.
3. Rectify GSTR-3B (if applicable)
If you already paid tax in 3B, but wrongly classified it, the amendment in GSTR-1 will correct the data on the portal. If you did not pay tax because it was marked WOPAY, you must pay the IGST liability (with applicable interest) in the GSTR-3B of the month in which you are correcting the GSTR-1.
4. Important Notes and Deadlines
Deadline: You can amend details up to 30th November of the following financial year or before filing the annual return (GSTR-9), whichever is earlier.
E-Invoicing: If the invoice was already registered on the E-invoice portal, you cannot modify the invoice itself on that portal. However, you can make the necessary changes on the GST portal while filing GSTR-1.
Refund Impact: Correcting this to EXPORT (with payment) in table 6A/9A will ensure that the ICEGATE system correctly processes your IGST refund (SB005 error resolution).
