Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle excess GST paid in GSTR 3B compared to GSTR 1. Options include applying for a refund via RFD-01, which requires CA certification and must be filed within two years. Alternatively, some suggest adjusting the excess amount by showing less tax in subsequent GSTR 3B filings until it's reconciled, referencing relevant GST circulars for guidance on rectifying such errors.

You can apply for refund by filing RFD 01 form on GSTN portal ( excess tax paid ) .
1) you have to certify from CA .
2) Application should be filled with in 2 years from the date of payment .
Agree with above

No need to file refund.

best way is to show same amount (excess shown earlier) less in gstr3b as compared to gstr1 of next months till September of next month.

I did the same anil sir is suggesting. What do you think of it Sourav Sir ?

To claim the GST Refund on Excess Tax Paid, you must file the form GST RFD-01 & attach the supporting documents with the form while submitting it. If the refund amount is more than Rs. ... Basically, you can attach, Challans, Credit Notes, Debit Notes, & receipt or copy of relevant GSTR Filings for that tax period.

Basically provisions has intended that any excess payment has to be claimed through Refund It self. In my view as there is a option and there is no revenue loss to the Government, can adjust in future returns with proper justifications.

Pl see the table given in Circular No. 26/26/2017-GST to rectify the excess/less shoen in gstr3b.

You will find the reply that it is allowed to show less/excess value/tax in next month 3B to rectify the error.

Hello  Sirs,

We have submit a bill to our client in Mar-23 and paid the GST amount 32,159.70 in Apr-23 and submit GSTR-1 & GSTR 3B accordingly and Now the same bill was rejected by client and instruct to submit a fresh bill to make the payment. In this scenario how can we adjust the amount 32,159.70 in May-23.  Please advise us in this regard.
