23 April 2019 Dear Sir/Madam
In March-19 month of Rs 32355/- of RCM paid in IGST instead off CGST and SGST and Wrongly Filed GSTR 3B also as per IGST paid. After GSTR 3B Filed I noticed that RCM related to Local i.e CGST and SGST.

What Will do now...I can Rectify this in Next Month GSTR 3B if Yes..Please Tell in Detailed Manner...

23 April 2019 Yes , You can rectify next month
You need to pay CGST & SGST with next month 3B and claim refund for IGST ( wrongly paid )
There won't be any interest on late payment of CGST & SGST

Relevant provision in the Act :-

Section 19 of IGST Act 2017: Tax wrongfully collected and paid to Central Government or State Government (CHAPTER VIII – APPORTIONMENT OF TAX AND SETTLEMENT OF FUNDS)

(1) A registered person who has paid integrated tax on a supply considered by him to be an inter-State supply, but which is subsequently held to be an intra-State supply, shall be granted refund of the amount of integrated tax so paid in such manner and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed.

(2) A registered person who has paid central tax and State tax or Union territory tax, as the case may be, on a transaction considered by him to be an intra-State supply, but which is subsequently held to be an inter-State supply, shall not be required to pay any interest on the amount of integrated tax payable.

03 August 2025 Hi Sairam! Here's how you can proceed with the IGST wrongly paid instead of CGST & SGST under RCM, and the subsequent rectification in GSTR-3B:
1. Next Month GSTR-3B Filing:
Pay the CGST and SGST corresponding to the RCM amount of Rs 32,355/- in your next month’s GSTR-3B under the appropriate reverse charge columns for CGST and SGST.
Do not include the IGST amount again in the next month’s return.
You can continue to claim the input tax credit (ITC) for CGST and SGST paid under RCM in the next month’s return.
2. Claim Refund of Wrongly Paid IGST:
Since you have already paid IGST wrongly for an intra-state supply (which should have been CGST + SGST), you are eligible for a refund of that IGST amount.
You need to file a refund application for the wrongly paid IGST.
The refund can be claimed under Section 19(1) of the IGST Act, 2017.
Usually, the refund process takes about 30 to 90 days after filing the refund application, but timelines may vary depending on the tax department’s processing.
3. How to File Refund Application:
You can file the refund application online on the GST portal in the Refund section.
Submit all necessary documents, including proof of payment, GSTR-3B filings, and an explanation of the mistake.
It’s advisable to file the refund application as early as possible.
4. Interest on Late Payment:
There is no interest payable on the CGST & SGST paid late because you paid IGST in the original month.
Similarly, no interest is applicable on the refund amount.
Summary:
Step Action Remarks
1 Pay CGST + SGST under RCM in next GSTR-3B Include in reverse charge inward supplies columns
2 File refund claim for wrongly paid IGST File online on GST portal
3 Claim ITC of CGST + SGST paid In the next month’s return
4 Wait for refund approval & credit Usually 30-90 days
