GSTN has enabled a 'Re-compute Interest' option on the GST portal for Table 5.1 of GSTR-3B. This allows taxpayers to recalculate interest on delayed filings.

A technical glitch may have caused incorrect interest calculations for February 2026, without considering the benefit of available cash balance as per Rule 88B. This feature corrects that issue.

Taxpayers can find the 'RE-COMPUTE INTEREST' button under Table 5.1 of GSTR-3B on the GST portal. Clicking it will recalculate the interest based on updated system parameters.

After re-calculating, taxpayers should check the updated system-generated GSTR-3B PDF for the revised interest values and manually update Table 5.1 accordingly. The manually edited value cannot be less than the recomputed amount.

You can verify the detailed breakup of interest computation from the System Generated GSTR 3B PDF, accessible via 'Return Dashboard' → 'Select Return Period' → 'GSTR 3B' → 'Prepare Online'.
