A taxpayer mistakenly paid CGST/SGST using input credit in their GSTR3B for FY 2019-20, while correctly showing IGST liability in GSTR1. They are seeking advice on how to correct this error, especially with the annual return deadline approaching. The advice suggests paying the IGST due and then filing for a refund of the wrongly paid CGST/SGST.

In FY 2019-20 wrongly I had paid CGST/SGST (using input credit available) in GSTR3B instead of IGST. But while filling the GSTR1 I had shown the liability as actual that is IGST. How can I correct this issue?
As the Annual return for 2019-20 is due, my turnover is below 2Cr, and it is not mandatory to file GSTR9. but to correct my returns kindly advise how could I proceed.
