In January, I had filed my tax under IGST head instead of CGST + SGST in GSTR1 and GSTR3B. Correct head was CGST + SGST. I will file refund application for that.
My doubt is, how will I rectify the mistake and pay the same amount to the correct head (CGST + SGST) in this month's return. Please help me.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to rectify a GST filing error where IGST was paid instead of CGST + SGST. While initially suggesting using Form GST PMT-09, it was clarified that this form is only for available balances. The primary solution involves correcting the figures in your annual GST return, which will adjust liabilities and allow for claiming a refund of the wrongly paid IGST. For past financial years, you will need to pay the correct CGST+SGST and claim the IGST refund separately.
You neither have to pay anything nor have to apply for a refund. You need to increase the CGST and SGST and decrease the IGST with the same amount in your annual return.

This reply, you replied like this because the month of September had already passed which is the last month for rectification of previous year returns. It is correct?
