REGARDING DELETION OF GSTR 7 RETURN FILED BY DEDUCTOR & REJECTED BY DEDUCTEE

GSTR 7 for the month of August 2020 wrongly filed by me for deductee Say "A"

 On our request deductee has rejected TDS details. 

Later refund request filed for refund of TDS along with Interest and late fees for return wrongly as per 

 Refund disbursed as per Order   on 14/01/2021. 

 But during filing of GSTR 7 for month of  March 21, TDS rejected by deductee auto populated in Amendment tab – Rejected by deductee column.  

When I am trying to change details in Uploaded by Deductor TAB in TDSA system saying “DEDUCTEE HAS ALREADY TAKEN ACTION AND FILED” .  

System asking me to first modify TDS details Rejected by Deductee then file New return for March 2021.

If I File Return again then it will again show in Deductee system requiring him to either accept or reject TDS detail.

I want Return for August 2020 to be deleted as it is Wrongly filed and hence irrelevant.

Hence Please help me in removing this Wrongly filed return for August 2020 for which refund has already claimed and disbursed

Hi Niraj,

Regarding deletion of GSTR-7 return (TDS return) wrongly filed for August 2020:

  1. Once a GSTR-7 return is filed, it cannot be deleted or physically removed from the system. The GST portal does not allow deletion of already filed returns.

  2. Since the deductee has rejected the TDS details and you have already claimed and received refund for the wrong TDS, the system still shows the TDS details in the "Amendment" tab for March 2021 as rejected by deductee.

  3. The system requires you to file an amendment return for March 2021 correcting the earlier TDS details, even though these were rejected by the deductee.

What you can do:

  • File the amended GSTR-7 for March 2021, where you modify the rejected TDS details (in the “Rejected by Deductee” tab) to remove or correct the wrong entries.

  • Once you file this amendment, the wrong TDS entries from August 2020 will be reflected as corrected in the system.

  • The portal does not allow deleting returns, but amendment filings serve as corrections in the system.

Additional points:

  • Since refund has already been disbursed for the wrong TDS, no further action is needed on refund side.

  • The key is to ensure future returns do not include the wrong TDS details, so keep track while filing amendments.

If you want, I can help you draft the amendment return or guide you through the amendment process.
