Quick Summary
A user mistakenly filed a NIL GSTR 3B return for June 2021 when there were transactions and GST payable. They are seeking advice on how to rectify this error. Options discussed include paying the tax via challan (DRC-03), which may lead to complications with GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B discrepancies and potential interest charges. It's also suggested to approach the jurisdictional officer for assistance or to include the June transactions in the July GSTR-3B filing, paying the applicable interest.

The best possible option for you would be to pay tax through challan if itc insufficient. But offset can be done in the next month only.
Interest will be applicable on cash portion.

The issue here is if payment in cash ledger is offset using DRC-03, then GSTR 1 would be higher than GSTR 3B. This could lead to complications with the dept. wherein you would have to prove the error in filing and rectifications made. 

Alternatively, you could request your jurisdictional officer to help rectify this issue. There have been cases where back end access was allowed to rectify returns. Also, some cases Courts have intervened and directed for allowing revision of returns. 

It is a right and not allowing revision of returns can be challenged. 

Provide all details in GSTR-3B of next month by clubbing June & July GSTR-3B. Pay tax in July 3B with interest.

If you pay through DRC, you are unable to claim ITC.
