A query arose regarding the refund of IGST on exported goods where invoices were incorrectly reported in GSTR 3B (3.1a instead of 3.1b) but correctly in GSTR 1 (6A). This error prevented GSTN from forwarding the invoices to ICEGATE for refund processing. The consensus is that correcting the GSTR 3B in the following month should trigger revalidation, but direct correspondence with the jurisdictional officer may still be necessary to ensure the invoices are passed for refund.

Problem : In Apr 2020 export invoices were reported in 3.1(a) of GSTR 3B instead of 3.1(b). However they were correctly reported in 6A of GSTR-1. Due to this gstn didn't passed on the invoices to ICEGATE for refund. Now if 3B of next month is corrected, will the system automatically send invoices from 6A of Apr to ICEGATE for refund or we have to correspond with jurisdictional officer for passing over the invoices.

As per message of GST refund status tracking : "Kindly rectify the difference in next 3B. The invoices will be revalidated in the next cycle"
