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.
