You can adjust the excess paid in the subsequent month.

If I adjust in next month, then sales in GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 will not match.

If you’ve mistakenly paid excess GST due to incorrect reporting in GSTR-3B for October and haven’t adjusted it in subsequent months, you can correct this through a few steps. Here’s how you can address the issue:
### **Steps to Adjust Excess GST Paid**
1. **Identify the Excess Payment**:
- **Amount Paid**: Rs. 5,040 (GST on Rs. 28,000 of outward service).
- **Error**: This GST should have been adjusted properly but wasn’t.
2. **Correct the GSTR-3B**:
- **File a Correction**: Since the error occurred in the GSTR-3B for October, and the correct entry wasn’t made in subsequent months, you need to rectify this by adjusting it in a later month’s GSTR-3B.
3. **Adjust Excess GST**:
- **In the Next GSTR-3B**: You can adjust the excess GST paid in your next GSTR-3B. This adjustment should be made under the **“Tax Paid”** section, where you can declare the excess amount as a credit.
- **Enter Details**: In the next month’s GSTR-3B, mention the excess amount of Rs. 5,040 in the appropriate section for input tax credit or adjustments.
4. **File GSTR-1 Corrections**:
- **Update GSTR-1**: Since the Rs. 28,000 outward service was not included in GSTR-1, you need to include this in the GSTR-1 for the current or future month to ensure consistency.
- **Correct Sales Reporting**: Make sure to report the sales correctly in the GSTR-1 for the month when the services were actually provided.
5. **Maintain Records**:
- **Document the Adjustment**: Keep detailed records of the adjustment made and any communication with the GST authorities if required.
- **Support Documentation**: Maintain supporting documents for both the excess payment and subsequent adjustments.
6. **Communicate with GST Authorities (if needed)**:
- **Clarify Issues**: If there is any confusion or the mismatch is significant, consider reaching out to the GST authorities or a tax consultant to ensure proper handling of the issue.
### **How to Adjust Excess GST in the GSTR-3B**
When adjusting excess GST paid in a subsequent GSTR-3B, you should:
- **Enter in the “Tax Paid” Section**: Include the excess amount in the "Tax Paid" section under "Adjustment of excess credit" or a similar category.
- **Specify the Adjustment**: Clearly state that this adjustment is related to the previous overpayment.
### **Sample Calculation for Adjustment**
**Excess Paid: Rs. 5,040**
**Adjustment Entry**:
- **Month**: Next month after the error.
- **Section**: “Tax Paid” or “Adjustments”.
Ensure that your **GSTR-3B** and **GSTR-1** are aligned in terms of reported sales and GST credits to avoid discrepancies and ensure compliance.
### **Important Note**
For accuracy and compliance with GST regulations, it is often advisable to consult a GST practitioner or tax consultant, especially for resolving discrepancies and ensuring proper filing.
