Hello learned CAs,

I have an issue relating to filing tax for September period.

There was a mistake while submitting the GSTR3B for the month of September for my company. The CGST and SGST worked out to be around Rs 1,20,000 each. However I dont know how, the value that got submitted in GSTR 3B was

CGST - Rs 12,00,000,

SGST - Rs 1,20,000.

Basically an extra zero got added in the CGST. Though I am sure I entered the correct figure

Now the total tax for that month has shot up almost 10 times because of this.

I tried everywhere on the site but cant find any option to change this. I was sure I entered the correct amount 1,20,000 but it submitted with an additional zero for CGST alone, and now is stuck at this. Now I am in a mess here as I cannot even make the payment for the month, as the offset is not happening. I even tried to offset with 1,20,000 but it is not accepting.

Will when is the last date allowed for payment (if it isn't passed yet) and how to change this figure?

Can I file the GSTR 1 and 2 now itself and fix this issue?

Also Till not July return itself is not processed, does this mean September payment still has time? Otherwise if the date is passed and the tax is not paid, the fine is heavy I think.

Any advice is welcome on how to resolve this,

Thanks in advance!

Thank you,

By pay the tax do you mean just add the correct amout to ledger via challan? I already did that and tried to offset it but didnt work.

I think only ofsetting it and sumbitting it with OTP will complete tax payment process correct?

Is there another way to pay just the tax?

I hope the revise is availalbe. I called the helpline, He said to pay full amount now and refund it, I dont think that is fair. Who knows when the refund will be, probably 3 months later as minimum. Already I am waiting for refund from supply to SEZ Gst I paid and also exports, Now Locking additional 10L capital I might just wind up my company now as I wont have anything to pay suppliers and pay employees even .

What he said was so unfair

yup its unfair....sir you do not need to bear any penalty or interst as the tax atleast has been credited to government via challans ... as far as filing of 3b is concerned... I'll not be filed now...just file gstr-1 correctly...

gstr3b is not important

gstr1 and gstr2 is vital.. the final return is gstr3, which is the summary of gstr1 n gstr2.

make proper computations n file gstr 1 and 2 correctly.

wait for the revise return provsion to appear shortly

first the option was to get it rectified thru filing of gstr1 and gstr2 . but now gstr2 suspended you have to wait a little and watch what possibility comes your way to rectify the same. I think govt will soon allow revision of gstr3b to help in such cases.

Otherwise there is no other option of pay it now and claim refund later. i know this a very painful solution but this is how GST has been designed by some learned members of our society.

Thank you all for your replies.

The GSTR 1 date for Sep has not even begin yet. And yes GSTR 2B has been postponed which really delays even ITC claims.

So many are disappointed with the constant changing of the rules. Nobody seems clear on what is actually going on. It is a vey difficult change, with no ground support to answer important questions.

But they are charging a fine for not sumbission of GSTR 3B - in this situation how can it be said that "gstr3b is not important"? Because per day you have to pay 100rs if you do not file the 3B form by 20th of next month.

And also the changing of the tax slabs is another constant confusion... it looks like there has been very less planning and execution

yupsss.. the rules are changing really fast..

wait for a revised return provision for gstr3b because 10 lacs is not a nominal amount for anyone..

Don't file return leave submitted as same thing happened with me for july 3b return by mistake return submitted without claiming ITC and after one month I was able to edit gstr 3b.
For sept gstr 3b late fees have been waived off so you can wait for few days

Thanks for the information Sir.

If late fee has been waived off it is good to wait.

Is there a circular for this waiving of late fees? Too many changes are coming in regularly and its very hard to keep track of all of it, especially for small businesses...
