Table 6B requires the CGST, SGST/UTGST and IGST ITC figures separately. If changing one field makes CGST and SGST equal, first check that you are editing the correct tax-head column and that the figures are entered in the respective fields—not as a combined amount. Save the table, refresh the return and recheck the summary; do not force matching figures if your books support different amounts.

If the GST portal continues to overwrite one value, capture the issue and check the filed-period data and current portal validation before filing. The exact entry steps may depend on whether you are using the portal utility or an offline tool; share the method and what happens when you save for more targeted guidance.
