WRONG GSTR7 ENTRIES ACCEPTED ERRONEOUSLY

Quick Summary

A works contractor mistakenly accepted an incorrect GSTR7 entry for a payment they didn't receive. The deductor (government department) claims they cannot revise the return now that the entry has been accepted. This incorrect entry risks inflating the contractor's turnover. The advice is to formally request the deductor to rectify the entry and to submit a written representation with bank statements to the GST officer to prevent automated mismatch notices. It's crucial that the contractor's GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B accurately reflect their actual turnover, as the erroneous GSTR7 does not legally define their outward supply.

20 October 2026 A works contractor carrying on works with a government department.
During the month of September 2025, that concerned department filed an entry showing a payment of Rs. 30 lakhs to the contractor. Actually no such payments were received by the contractor. The contractor wanted to reject this entry in GSTR7. Instead of rejecting this entry ,the accountant wrongly accepted the entry. Now the deductor states that as the entry has been accepted by the deductee he can not revise the GSTR7 return filed by him. The GST officer also says that he can not do anything in this matter. Can the experts give a solution to this problem as this turnover will be added to the outward supply for this month and as the contractor has not received any such payment.

21 October 2026 Formally petition the government department (deductor) to rectify the entry through their return adjustments and submit a written representation with bank statements to your jurisdictional GST officer to safeguard against automated mismatch notices.

Ensure your GSTR-1/GSTR-3B reflects only actual turnover, as GSTR-7 errors do not legally dictate your outward taxable supply turnover.

24 October 2026 The deductor can rectify the GSTR-7 error. You should submit a formal written request with bank statements to both the government department (deductor) and your jurisdictional GST officer, ensuring your own GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings reflect only your actual, verified turnover.
