Hello,

My client have told me that they would pay the amount for the Invoice's of April 2018.

But as I was not receiving any payment from this client from last one year even if I raised the bill.

I stopped showing this client's Invoices in GSTR1 though I couriered him the hard copy of the Invoice's.

Now if I receive payment for that Invoices which was raised in April 2018

what should I do ?

And I'm not in position to bare GST fine of this amount.

Plz let me know if their is any solution to this without paying GST fine.

Yes you can show april missed bills in your sept return . just make sure that such bills shall be entered with its original date .

suppose bill date is 10/04/18 & in sept month return it should be entered as 10/04/18 only

Hello Pankaj,

Thank you for the reply.

So if I file April Bills in September.

Would, I have to pay late fee charge if suppose there will be audit.

I'm asking this question as my CA is saying that "For now you can file in September without late fees but if there is a Audit there will be scrutiny and you will be asked to pay late fees charges"

If any invoice is missed to be taken in GSTR 3B and GSTR 1, u can always take such invoice in subsequent months return. Show such invoice in 3B with payment of interest @ 18% and in GSTR 1 with original date of invoice. Till now, there is no such way of payment of late filing fee of GSTR 1, so, u can do as advised above.

P. S: Such adjustments can be made in annual return or max in sept's return, whichever is filed earlier. Thus, u can easily make adjustment in current month's return
