GSTR7 Return Not filed for earlier month - How to upload details of missed month

A state govt office has missed uploading the details for Oct-23 GSTR7.

However the Nov-23 GSTR7 has already been uploaded. 

Now while trying to upload the GSTR7 details for Oct-23 the following error is being shown "Return is filed or ready to be filed in future period."

Kindly guide if the only option is to show the details in Dec-23 GSTR7 return? Or is there any other way to upload the details paying the necessary late fine which the office is willing to do.

Quick Summary
A government office missed filing their October 2023 GSTR7 return, and now encounters an error when trying to upload the details after filing the November return. They are seeking guidance on whether the missed October details must be included in the December return or if there's an alternative method to file the October return separately, including late fees and interest. The current error message 'Return is filed or ready to be filed in future period' prevents saving supplier details for the October return.

You Can file GSTR7 of previous periods, with late fees and Interest, at present applicable.

As per my view, you can upload of Oct month remaining details in Dec month only . As, November's month return already been filed.  

Sir,

I am a little confused with the clarification, hence would like to elaborate the issue.

In the first step of the GSTR7 online return for Oct-23, we are unable to save the supplier details of Net Invoice, TDS under CGST & SGST and the following error, "Return is filed or ready to be filed in future period" is being shown.

As per my understanding, we can only pay the late fees & interest that is auto calculated by the GST portal after the saving the supplier details. 

So therefore, I would be extremely grateful if you may guide on the alternate process that may be followed.
