GST Payment Verification made to Indian Governement

Return 368 views 5 replies

Hi All - I am an self employed IT Professional. My CA files my GST return on my behalf every month. He files GSTR-3B and GSTR-1. I raise every month invoice to my employed and charge him 18% GST on top of my services. Now my employer is not registered as an Legal Entity in India as they are UK based but they still pay me 18% extra as per turnover requirement for Business in India. I pay this 18% amount to my CA every month minus the Input credit. I logged in GST portal one day and wanted to check how this all works. To my shock I do not see any chalan payment matching the amount which I pay him every month which is 50K+ every month. There are very few chalans and all they have value is like 140, 150 rs max thats all. I also checked my filed GSTR-3B filed return as well and he has put my entire Invoice amount in column b) zero rated tax supplies in GSTR-3B form. In GST-1 he has put the entire amount under Exports Invoice 6A. Also I checked my Credit and Liability Statement for FY 20/21 and seems it is all 0 but matches the ITC claimed part of 37K for entire year. So before I confront him and ask why he has done so and kept the money which was supposed to be paid to Indian Government with him. Is there anything else I need to check or am I missing something. To keep my query simple are Chalans only mode of payment for GST to Indian Government and say for example I need to pay 50K as GST to Indian Government, should I must have that Challan created in GST portal and pay that Challan or there is some other mode of payment as well. All I need is confirmation that CA is paying the amount to Indian Government and not keeping with him, which in my case is highly likely seems so. Please help advise what all I can check from my end further and best way to ask him on this. Attached details, striked data for confidentiality.

Check your GST electronic cash ledger.
it contains the details of how much amount is deposited as GST using your GSTN number (in the credit side)
and
how much amount was paid to Govt
the debit side.
(in this regard please note that when you pay GST using challan it reaches your electronic cash ledger and the amount would be there in that ledger in credit side till you use for payment either through GSTR3B or DRC-03.)

Hi Sasi - Thanks a lot for the response, Appreciate it. So as I checked my Electronic Cash Ledger Statement for the entire Financial Year 20/21 it is showing me petty amounts likes 140Rs, 150Rs as credit and debit, whereas it should ideally be having the genuine amount of 50k+ which I am transferring every month to my CA to be deposited to Indian Government. Will this confirm that he is keeping the money with him and not paying to Indian Government.

Yes if no such debit or credit is reflected on the GST portal Cash ledger then you can very well ask your professional. 

Ask your CA for a copy of your ledger account in his books. This will give you an understanding of all the amounts which you have transferred to him and what utilization he has shown of the transferred amounts. 

Hi Puja - Thanks for the response, Appreciate it, Sure I will ask him accordingly. 

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a nationwide sales tax that applies to almost all goods and services in India. The GST is administered by the Central government, not by individual states. It replaced the existing system of a number of different state and federal sales taxes. The GST is levied on most goods and services in India, with some exceptions

The GST Verification and GST Payment needs to be done effiiently
