Hello, I hired someone who is not a Chartered Accountant (CA) to file my GST returns, and they have made mistakes that need to be corrected.

I sell on Meesho and also use their advertisement services.

For December 2025, which was filed on a monthly basis, the GSTR-1 was filed (but the tables were empty, meaning no sales were shown), and the GSTR-3B was also filed. Table 7 (B2C Others), where sales records are added state-wise, was completely empty. He also did not file the TCS of 1% that Meesho deducts.

The same issue occurred for January to March 2026, which was filed quarterly. Again, no Meesho sales were added, and TCS was not filed for any of these months either.

One thing I wanted to mention is that I also purchased advertisements on Meesho. Since Meesho had already filed from their side, the ITC got auto-reflected and was accepted when he filed the GSTR-3B.

I checked, and I have enough ITC to cover the tax on the missing sales.

How do I proceed now? Please help me regarding this. How do I make amendments? Will I have to pay late fees, interest, or anything else?

I have also attached sale details:

Dec 25

Taxable Value - 62535.93

IGST - 1699.72

CGST - 88.18

SGST - 88.18

Jan-March 26

Taxable Value - 456073.83

IGST - 12824.07

CGST - 429.07

SGST - 429.07

Currently, I'm still on a Quarterly basis, which means it will be filed in July.

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a Meesho seller's issue with incorrect GST filings where sales and TCS were omitted from GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns. The seller mistakenly hired a non-CA professional who filed empty returns for December 2025 and January-March 2026. The advice provided indicates that while filed returns cannot be directly revised, the omitted sales can be declared in subsequent filings. The seller has sufficient ITC to cover the tax liability, but interest on the delayed payment is likely applicable. It's crucial to rectify this promptly, ideally before the 30th November deadline for the financial year 2025-26, and to claim the Meesho TCS credit. Consulting with a CA is recommended for final confirmation before filing corrections.

Your GST issue is correctable.
Old filed returns cannot be revised directly, but omitted sales can be disclosed in subsequent GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
Approx missed GST liability is about ₹15,558.
ITC can likely offset most tax liability if balance is available.
Interest on delayed payment will likely apply.
Meesho TCS mismatch makes voluntary correction advisable immediately.
Since returns were already filed, this is more of a correction/compliance issue than a non-filing issue.

hi, this is fixable, but the main thing is timing. your december 2025 and jan-mar 2026 supplies all belong to fy 2025-26, and as far as i know supplier-side corrections for that year are allowed only up to the earlier of 30 nov 2026 or the date you file the annual return (section 37(3)). so don't wait for the next quarter.

you can't revise the filed returns, so the omitted sales are disclosed in a current-period gstr-1 (state-wise b2c, with the meesho/eco figure in table 14) and the tax is shown in gstr-3b 3.1(a). since you are quarterly, check which gstr-1 window is still open before 30 nov. the next quarterly one falls after that date, so you may need to move to monthly filing (qrmp opt-out) or check with your consultant what is possible in time.

tax can be paid from the itc you have in the ledger. interest u/s 50(1) is 18% p.a. from the original due date, but only on the part paid in cash (see rule 88b). since the returns were filed on time, late fee should not arise just because sales were omitted, but confirm that for your case.

also check the tcs credit that meesho deposited against your gstin (tds/tcs credit received statement) and claim it in 3b when you file. since meesho has already reported your sales in its gstr-8, the mismatch can come up as a notice, so it is better to correct voluntarily and keep the settlement reports handy. please confirm the final working with your ca before filing.
