Quick Summary
Users faced �invalid data format� error while uploading JSON in GST Statement 1A (inverted duty refund). The issue was mainly due to incorrect B2C-Small multiple entries and formatting errors. Solution involved combining all B2C-Small invoices into a single row, using dropdown fields properly, and ensuring correct date formatting before generating JSON.

GOOD NEWS :

The DUE DATE for furnishing of Annual Return in the FORM GSTR-9 / FORM GSTR-9A and Reconciliation Statement and Audit Report in FORM GSTR-9C for the financial year 2017-18 has been extended from 31st August, 2019 to 30th NOVEMBER, 2019.

REMOVAL OF DIFFICULTY ORDER No. 07/2019-CT dated 26.08.2019, issued by the CBIC Department.

Hence, the latest Due Date to file ANNUAL RETURN ( GSTR-9 and GSTR-9A ) and Reconciliation Statement and Audit Report ( GSTR-9C ) is 30.11.2019.
Hi Komal..have you found solution this this now? With new utility i am still facing the same problem.
I got the below response from GSTIN Grievance (Support GSTIN) mentioned in quotes "As per your statement invoices data, it contains multiple “B2C-Small” row for Outward supply. As per the new process, A statement can have only One ‘B2C-Small’ entry. While creating a fresh Offline Utility, Kindly enter value for all such invoices(B2C-small) accumulatively in ‘Taxable value’ and also in each heads (IGST or (CGST+SGST) in single row. You can try uploading json file after validation"  I was able to upload the Json file after making the above changes by converting all B2C-Small rows in to a single row. The offline utility for inverted duty structure was revised on 13.10.19 and i was able to upload the json in the website on 10.11.19. But before making the above changes, kindly ensure that you use the dropdown option for each and every line instead of typing. For eg:Type of inward and outward supply and type of document Also use the following forumla for date TEXT(U3,"dd-mm-yyyy") and then paste special it and convert the same in to general format. This will definitely work. It worked out for me
