A business mistakenly filed a NIL GSTR-1 for Q4 2019-20 when they had sales in January 2020. They paid the relevant GST via GSTR-3B. The advice given is to report these sales in the GSTR-1 for Q1 of FY 2020-21, retaining the original invoice dates. This allows for claiming GST input tax credit in the subsequent month's GSTR-3B without needing to amend the original GSTR-1 filing.

We are filing returns on qtly basis as the T/o of the same is less than 1.5 cr. All the sales are made from this concern in the name of our another mfg concern in the month of Jan20 and there was no sale in feb&mar20. we filed all the GSTR3B returns in time and paid GST accordingly. But wrongly we filed "NIL" GSTR-1 for march20 (Q4) instead of GSTR3B. Can we show the sales in 1st Qtr. of 2020-21 and ammend B2B (dates of the bills) to cliam GST input in our purchasing concern. Please guide.

You can report the sales in GSTR-1 of FY 2020-21- Q1 Return. And also can claim GST ITC in the next month's GSTR-3B Return without amending the date of invoices.
