    A Registered dealer is mandated to file an average of three Returns every month and 1 return annually under the GST. So, that total comes to 37 Returns every year for the registered taxpayer. Initially, the GSTR 1, 2 and 3 were extended for the filing by the taxpayers till the next council meeting.

    Some of the Features of Return Form GSTR 3B

    • Form 3B is to be filed mandatorily by all normally registered taxpayers
    • Nil returns are to be filed in case of no business. GSTN portal offers a simple and fast procedure to file GSTR 3B returns. In the latest offering, the taxpayers who are filing nil returns are free from extensive filing details and will be forwarded to a simple return form with minimum details. No extra tiles and details are required for this new functionality.
    • A summary of information about sale and purchase, available input tax credit, tax payable, and tax paid is to be furnished
    • All input tax credits availed and utilized will be posted in the ITC ledger
    • Unutilized ITC can be used in subsequent months

    • If form GST TRAN-1 is submitted Click the Check balance button to view the balance available for credit under the integrated tax, Central tax, State tax and Cess (including transitional credit)
    • The finance ministry rolled out a special provision for the Form 3B return taxpayers by giving them accessibility to adjust and change the tax liability along with rectification in the monthly return of Form 3B. The decision has been taken in order to help the taxpayers claim the input tax credit on the correct basis while the penalty will be exempted from the procedure. In the latest CBEC statement, it is clear that “as the return in Form GSTR-3B does not contain provisions for reporting of differential figures for the past month(s), the said figures may be reported on net basis along with the values for the current month itself in appropriate tables.”

    The Process of GSTR 3B Filing Simplified

    GSTN-3B application has been finally simplified by the GSTN. It is now user-friendly, but there are several signs that it may be used after March month. Keeping in mind the problems faced by the public before, there are several changes done to modify the filing for easy use. This is a very important step as it makes the system less rigid and reduces the chances of inadvertent errors.

    GSTN has made the following key changes in the GSTR-3B return filing form, said by the PWC partner:

    Tax Payment: In the revised version of the form, the public can see whether the tax liability is being paid by cash or credit in tax liability, before submitting the form. But in the earlier filing, a taxpayer was required to submit the return to ascertain the tax liability amount. After submission, no changes were allowed.

    Challan Generation: Now the challan gets prepared with the cash amount required to be paid after taking into account the balance available in the cash ledger and suggesting the utilization of ITC (Income Tax Credit) in the table, with a click of a button. Earlier, the challan had to be manually filled with the amount to be paid in cash. However, the taxpayers can make the edition in the credit amount to be utilized and not to use the credit amount filled by the system.

    Download Facility of Draft Return: Earlier, there was not any downloading option to save details for offline re-checking. But now there is a new option available for public convenience where draft returns can be downloaded at any stage to verify the saved details offline.

    Auto-fill of Tax Amount: This step is taken to save time and reduce the error as taxpayers now either have to fill CGST or SGCT/UTGCT, other tax amounts will be auto-filled manually.

    Penalty for Late Filing GSTR 3B with Interest on Delayed Payment

    Those taxpayers, who do not pay their taxes on time as per the date scheduled by the GST Council, will have to pay an additional late fee amount at 18 percent per annum, depending on the number of days they delay the payment.

    For example, If you fail to pay your tax liability on the due date, you will have to pay an additional 1000*18/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.49 per day as of late fee Where Rs. 1000 is the tax liability amount, 1 is the number of delayed days and 18 is the rate of interest (annual). See the official doc attached below for complete details of GST interest late fee and penalties https://cbec-gst.gov.in/CGST-bill-e.html

    In case a taxpayer does not file his/her return within the due dates mentioned above, he shall have to pay a late fee of Rs. 50/day i.e. Rs. 25 per day in each CGST and SGST (in case of any tax liability) and Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10/- day in each CGST and SGST (in case of Nil tax liability) subject to a maximum of Rs. 5000/-, from the due date to the date when the returns are actually filed.

    The GST council and government again worked for the betterment of the taxpayers and gave relief by waiving the late fees on the filing of GSTR 3B for the months of August and September.

    General Queries on GSTR 3B Form

    Q.1 – What is the Difference Between GSTR 3 & GSTR 3B?

    GSTR 3 which was previously issued by the GST council was further replaced by the GSTR 3B which is a consolidated monthly return filing form for the payment of the net liabilities (output tax – input tax) i.e. GSTR 3B form is a consolidated return form whereas GSTR 3 is a detailed form including sale/purchase details of the month.

    Q.2 – How to Show Credit Note in GST Rreturn 3B Form?

    For showing the credit note in the form GSTR 3B, one can deduct or net-off the amount of credit note from total outward taxable supplies. GSTR 3B is only showing an aggregate total amount.

    Q.3 – ITC Reversal in GSTR 3B Return Form?

    ITC reversal can be shown in the GSTR 3B on tab 4 B (1) “As per rule 42 & 43 of CGST/SGST rules” and 4 B (2) “Other”.

    Q.4 – How to Rectify GST Return 3B?

    Previously there was a reset tab in GSTR 3B and now it has been removed by the GSTN portal, hence once the GST return 3B gets filed, it cannot be rectified now.

    Q.5 – What is ITC in GSTR 3B?

    The input tax credit is that amount of the tax which you have already paid on input and now will be deducted from the total amount of tax you need to pay on output. For instance When you purchase a product or service then you pay taxes on every purchase to a registered dealer and the same way you collect taxes when you sell , then the tax you paid initially on purchases will be adjusted against the taxes you collected i.e output tax (tax on sales) and balance liability of tax (tax on sales minus tax on purchase)will have to be paid to the government. This process refers to the utilization of input tax credit. So, in short, you can say Input Tax Credit is the initially paid tax on purchases or inputs.

    Q.6 – How to Pay Taxes While Filing Form GSTR 3B?

    One can pay taxes while filing GSTR 3B by Logging in and Navigating to GSTR-3B – Monthly Return page. Then fill up the details in Section – 3.1 i.e. Tax on outward and reverse charge inward supplies and Section – 3.2 i.e. Inter-state supplies. After that Enter ITC Details in Section – 4 i.e. Eligible ITC.

    Q.7 – How Do I Check My GSTR 3B Status?

    The steps to check GSTR 3B form status are as follows:

    • Step 1: Access GST Portal via https://gst.gov.in
    • Step 2: In the main menu, click on Track Application Status under Services
    • Step 3: Enter the ARN Number. Enter the ARN number in the field provided and complete the captcha casual taxable person
    • Step 4: Now view Status

    Q.8 – What is the Difference Between Form GSTR 3B & GSTR 2A?

    Form GSTR – 3B is a month-based summary return filed by the taxpayer by the 20th of the next month to declare their summary GST liabilities for the tax period and the completion of these liabilities in time.

    Form GSTR – 2A is an auto-populated form generated in the recipient’s login, carrying all the outward supplies (Form GSTR – 1) declared by his suppliers, from whom goods and/or services have been procured by the receiver taxpayer, in a respective tax period.

    A normal taxpayer needs to file GSTR-1, 2, & 3 returns for every tax period. When the due dates for filing of GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 get postponed then GSTR-3B has to be filed. And there is any mismatch between the system generated 3B and initially filed 3B then the taxpayer is compelled to pay additional tax, liability and other dues.

    Form GSTR -2A is auto-populated from the Form GSTR-1/5, Form GSTR-6 (ISD), Form GSTR-7 (TDS), and Form GSTR-8 (TCS).It is generated for a recipient when the Form GSTR-1/5, 6, 7 (Tax Deductor) & 8 (Tax Collector) is filed by the supplier taxpayer. The details can be viewed by the recipient and can be updated as and when supplier taxpayer add or alter any details in their respective Form GSTR, for the given tax period. Form GSTR-2A of a tax period is available for view only.

    Q.9 – Can I File a GSTR 3B Without Paying the Tax?

    As per section 27 (3) of GST Law, GST return will be valid only if the full tax is paid by the registered taxpayer and only the valid return would certify the taxpayer to claim an input tax credit (ITC). In other words, the supplier has to pay the entire self-assessed tax and file his return to be eligible for ITC.GST returns are treated as void if filed without making GST tax payment against such GST returns. Section 28 does not allow ITC on invalid return and defines such taxable person as unqualified for utilizing such credits before clearing his self-assessed tax liability.

    Q.10 – Is There any Provision for the Rectification of Errors in GSTR 3B Return?

    However, there is no concept of revised return available in GST, whether for Form GSTR-3B or your regular return which means one can not modify the data after the submission of return in the GST Portal. Yet some errors can be rectified:

    • The Form GSTR-3B is just an interim return and the actual return for July is to be filed in Form GSTR-1, Form GSTR-2 and Form GSTR-3 by 10 October; 31 October; and by 10 November 2017 (revised dates) respectively. Hence, any correction in GSTR-3B can be duly reported via Form GSTR-1 and Form GSTR-2.
    • Any alterations regarding outward supplies are to report in Form GSTR-1 when the supplies are incorrectly filled FORM GSTR-3B.
    • While any corrections regarding inward supplies need to be reported in Form GSTR-2 like when the ITC, tax liability of inward supplies liable for the reverse charge; or any other details of inward supplies are submitted erroneous in the Form GSTR-3B.
    • Based on the correct details reported in the Form GSTR-1 and Form GSTR-2, the revised tax liability and eligible ITC will be displayed in your e-ledger and these details will get auto-populated in Form GSTR-3 of July 2017.
    • Because of the absence of the revised return concept the data can only be rectified as long as the GST form is in save status before the submission, but cannot be modified after the final submission of return.

    1. Dear sir,
      If recovery officer has utilised half of tax liability from taxpayer ledger for non filing of return GSTR 3b (i.e after the expiry of 30 days of issuance of ASMT 13)…then what will be the next step.??Either taxpayer will pay rest of the tax and file nil return OR he will file return and pay taxes as per self assessment and file for refund that has already been utilised by recovery officer..???
      Pls explain

    2. Dear Sir,

      While filing GSTR-3B, I have not provided liabilities for Oct-2020, but entered ITC and filed GSTR-3B. There are two issues here:

      1) first the ITC is not claimed against the liability and
      2) second the liability is also not reported at all.

      Kindly, let me know how to proceed? Can we reverse the ITC filed in Oct-2020 and use that ITC in Nov-2020? And also file the liability of Oct-2020 along with Nov-2020 liability.

      Thank you for your support.

While I am filling GSTR 3B return for the month of Oct 2020 one error message was displaying there:  Interest to be paid on tax liabilities both for supplies attracting reverse charge as well as other than reverse charge”. But I have already mentioned the tax amount. I could not understand the error message.

    7. how to file GSTR 3B of real estate developers, in case they opted for 5% without ITC on residential real estate property (other than affordable)

    8. Hi, Is this GST applicable on Government fees for a new trademark application? We’ve not been charged any GST in the invoice. Only the fees. Is this under reverse charge? Or is this exempt?

      Thanks!

    9. We are showing the RCM Bills in GSTR 1 B2B as Reverse Charge Column Checked, But on GSTR3B how to show the RCM amount. Still, now we showing the RCM Bills in GSTR1 only as Reverse charge Column checked. Not in GSTR3B. Kindly advise.

      1. If you are also providing non-RCM supplies, then you can show total sales i.e. RCM and non-RCM sales value in outward supplies column and under taxes head you only need to show taxes paid on non-RCM supplies.

      2. Hi Aravind,
        I had the same query in my GSTR 3B return filing process, do we need to disclose anything in GSTR3B if all supplies rendered fall under RCM only. Please advise

    10. I filled nil transaction GST 3b return in the feb.2019 period on 20/03/2019. in jan.2019 I purchased construction material cement from a registered dealer, after deduction of GST 10000/-. I want to take claim of ITC in tab eligible ITC. because the supplier has not uploaded their return till April 2019. now rs, 10000/- GST shows in electronic credit ledger. May I did wrong entry in return? kindly help me

    11. sir, all questions answered by you is super. I have one clarification. In GSTR-3B, my consultant wrongly entered the taxable amount instead of tax amount in IGST field. I want to write off the same amount. kindly tell me what can i do?

        1. Want clarification about column 5 of GSTR 3B. inward supplies from unregistered dealer below 5000 per day regarding business expenses. Is it mandatory to mention it in column 5 of gstr 3b.

          1. I had reported excess taxable value in gstr-3b June 2020 and paid tax liability correctly and showed all details correctly in gstr-1 also how can I rectify this problem in further months

    12. I am a registered dealer. Paid CGST & SGST on raw materials. My query:

      – Is the ITC eligible to be claimed?
      – Where to be shown in 3B?

      What if I decide not to claim ITC? Do I need to disclose this in my monthly 3B?

      1. Ans. Yes, ITC is eligible to be claimed. You have to show the same ineligible ITC tile of GSTR-3B in the row “All other ITC”.

        If you decide not to claim ITC then at least show it in GSTR-3B but do not claim it while offsetting liability.

    13. SIR,

      Would like to update you that we are mfg industry and we have an interstate supply. We do collect IGST @12% towards ‘Transport charges’ & ‘Insurance charges’ as well

      Please revert us that where we need to show those (outward supply) transport & insurance charges while filing the GSTR 3B return

    14. SIR, I WANT TO ASK THAT IF I MADE ANY PURCHASE THAT IS EXEMPTED FROM A REGULAR REGISTERED DEALER, THEN DO I HAVE TO SHOW IT IN GST3B? AND IF YES THEN WHERE DO I HAVE TO SHOW IT?

        1. I am talking about TCS. I checked on GSTR 2a. It is showing TCS FROM MakeMyTrip. Now I am confused about what to do … how to file TCS on GSTR 3B and how to claim this? if anyone has the answer please reply

          1. You can claim such TCS credit as ITC by filing GSTR-3b mentioning such data under Table 4 (A) 5 i.e all other ITC heading.

    15. HOW TO RCM SERVICES PROVIDED BY INDIVIDUAL TO BANK, GST PAID BY BANK, IN GSTR 3B? SHOULD I SHOW THE INVOICE VALUE IN GSTR-3B AND LEAVE BLANKS IS CGST & SGST?

      1. If you are only providing RCM services and not any other taxable services then in GSTR-3B showing the only taxable value of RCM services shall not be possible as tax fields can be blank or 0. In such a case you can’t file neither invoice/taxable value of RCM services in GSTR-3B

        1. PLEASE TELL HOW TO FILE GSTR 3B OF SECURITY SERVICE ORGANISATION (FIRM) FOR THE PERIOD JAN 2019. THE ENTIRE TAXABLE SERVICE IS UNDER RCM WEF 01.01.2019.

            1. While keeping Tax column blank the error displaying that “When the taxable value is declared, Tax amounts cannot be zero.” I am trying to file the return for security service (proprietor) Please suggest what can I do for the same.

    16. Where to show RCM outward supplies, as I am a supplier of GTA services my receiver has to pay the tax liability, But where I have shown my outward supplies in GSTR – 3B?

      thanks
      abhinav

      1. The amount must be mentioned in table 3.1 under the head “outward taxable supplies” and the tax column should be left blank. You cannot show only RCM outward services without filing tax amount in such a case filing nil GSTR-3B is the only option available.

    17. How can we rectify Financial Year 2017-18 sale value & Tax not disclosed in GSTR 3B but disclosed in GSTR1? Can we add that value and tax in GSTR3B of the financial year 2018-19 and pay Tax. Please give me a Solution.

    18. OUTWARD SUPPLIES IN GSTR 3B. PROVIDING SERVICE TO BANK GST PAYING UNDER RCM BY BANK WHERE THE SERVICE PROVIDER HAVE TO SHOW TAXABLE VALUE IN GSTR-3B

      1. In case the only service provided is of RCM and nothing else no where data to be shown in GSTR-3B and in case there is any other outward service apart from RCM then sown both taxable value of RCM and non-RCM service in column 3.1(a).

    19. We are merchant exporter. We have exported goods under LUT (without payment of IGST). While filing GSTR-3B, in Table 3.1(b),

      – what amount needs to be mentioned in the column “Integrated Tax”?
      – what would be “Total taxable value”?

    20. SIR,

      STAR DYES & INTERMEDIATES.
      WE HAVE MADE MISTAKE IN FILLING GSTR3B &GSTR1 IN JUL 2017 AND OUR EXPORT DATA IS NOT BEING TRANSMITTED TO ICEGATE FOR IGST REFUND.

      BUT IN CURRENT MONTH JUNE-2018 WE HAVE FILLED EVERYTHING OK GSTR3B/GSTR1/TABLE 6A THEN ALSO OUR DATA IS NOT BEING TRANSMITTED TO ICEGATE FOR IGST REFUND.

      CAN U PLEASE GUIDE

    21. In GSTR-3B for June 2018, I’ve shown Inward Supplies (liable to reverse charge) in 3.1 and also claimed ITC under point 4 (A) (3) -Eligible ITC. However, under Offset Liability I am not being allowed to claim ITC on reverse charge. It was allowed till May 2018 GSTR-3B. Why is it? Please guide

        1. As per Dep’t. I have to pay the Reverse Charge GST this month and claim ITC against the same in next monthly return.

    22. Sir,

      I have an error in the invoices have not been transmitted to ICE GATE AS cumulative total of IGST amount in table 3.1 (b) of all GSTR 3B filed so far is less than the cumulative total of IGST amount in Table 6 A and 9A of all Gstr 1 filed so far

    23. Hai Sir,

      My Question is if we purchase from the registered dealer some items in cash, but we have to give him our GST No. so while filing GST return where to show this kind of purchase?

      1. This is the purchase transaction between registered dealers. Hence this type of transaction is part of GSTR-2 which is temporarily suspended by GST portal

    24. RCM for “Goods Transport Agency”

      We, Public Ltd Company registered under GST Act as a Regular Dealer. We are the recipient of GTA Service from the Transporter. As per the RCM in-respect of GTA, we have to pay the GST to the Government. What is the Tax Rate for GTA under GST? What will be the case for GST paid in RCM for GTA and whether the credit will be allowed or not?

      SAG INFOTECH
      August 14, 2017, at 2:05 pm
      Tax @ 5% is payable for GTA service by the recipient under reverse charge mechanism. Also, ITC is not allowed for the tax paid.

      MY QUESTION IS:-
      1. Why ITC is not allowed if tax @5% paid for GTA as the manufacturer under- RCM for “Goods Transport Agency”?

      2. IMPORT material without GST, how it will reflect in GSTR3B?
      Kindly do needful.

      1. 1) You can avail the ITC of tax paid under RCM.
        2) As GSTR-3B is a summary return, so only taxable components need to be reported thereunder, so import material without GST will not be reported under GSTR-3B.

    25. I have made the local sale for the month of March’18. There is no IGST sale for the said month but there is a sales return of IGST. How can I adjust the IGST tax amount in GSTR-3B for the month of March’18?

      1. You can adjust such IGST amount in next month in which there is IGSt sale as GSTR-3B does not filed with negative value.

    26. Hi, I made only one purchase in April month and no sales made and registered GST as pvt ltd company.
      In GSTR 3B where should I mention my purchases. Purchased from registered service provider with invoice value of rs 500 and Also let me know do I need to file nil returns or ITC.

    27. Outward [inter-state supply of services] supply on March 18 is Rs. 10000. Credit note issued on March 18 is Rs. 25000 [for reversal of some portion of inter-state supply made in the in the m/o February 18.

      How to fill this net negative amount of Rs. 15000 in point 3.1(a)?

      1. Since GSTR-3B does not accept negative figures, Hence the Negative 15000 amt is to be adjusted in next month GSTR-3B

    28. In case goods returned & issue to credit note Example sale amount is 10000 IGST 1800.00 & goods return for amount Rs. 2000 IGST 360. what is the entry of GSTR-3B in ITC column 4 Eligible for Input tax? It may be added or not in Input for the same for Rs. 360.00 & in which column to enter in Column 4 Eligible ITC.

    29. Sir, My monthly invoice up to 3 number only. I cant file previous year from Aug 17. Please give information how to file GST?

    30. Hello Sir,

      It’s very urgent, I found everywhere but didn’t find any answer on the internet. I received payment from one of the affiliate networks(I have a coupon/deals site) and on top of my original payment, I received 18% extra. Now I want to know that What should I write in GSTR 3b. I mean what details do I need to add in GSTR 3b.

    31. Dear Sir,

      We file shipping bill under in IGST Paid basis. My questions below.,

      01.Which part to file GSTR-3B in 3.1A or 3.1B
      02.Can we Claim ITC from CGST AND SGST to IGST
      03.If we claim ITC from CGST AND SGST, Can we apply for IGST refund?

    32. I have 10000 interest reversal in other reversal columns in my January 3b. If I enter in CGST, it takes up the same amount in SGST due to auto-fill option. Any remedy available for this situation.

      Thanks in advance.

    33. Sir, I have bought tin sheets from a dealer in Nagpur for our roof work the bill was of Rs. 101620 inclusive of SGST and CGST of 7751 and 7751 respectively. So I want to know how do I file GSTR 3B for the month of February?

    34. Since RCM is not applicable, the URD purchases should be shown in which column in GSTR 3B?

      AND

      Seller has not taken GSTIN of the purchaser and filed GSTR 1 as well, so how can buyer claim input on that purchase?

      1. As under GSTR-3B, purchased related to ITC only to be reported so purchase from URD will need not to be entered in GSTR-3B. As the buyer is unregistered so he can’t avail any ITC as no tax liability will arise on him.

    35. Sir,, I have mistakenly didn’t enter export sale in the 3.1b column but entered total sale in 3.1a column in the month of October now I realized it, how can I claim or rectify or change as in current month (February 2018).

        1. Dear Sir, in the recent advisory GSTN said you can make 3b returns if export values wrongly reported in the table 3.1a instead of 3.1b. How to adjust this? Can you please give the solution?

    36. I have forgotten to claim ITC for an invoice from December. Can I claim that ITC amount when I submit GSTR-3B for the month of January?

    37. Hi sir

    38. Dear Sir,

      Please give your opinion about showing the purchase from the unregistered person from 13th Oct (deferred RCM) under table 5 of GSTR 3B as exempted goods or not to show in any table?

      Please advice.

        1. Purchase From Unregistered Person indicates in 3B in table No.-5 “From a supplier under composition scheme, Exempt and Nil rated supply”
          Because URD Purchase is Exempted Inward Supplies.

    39. HI SIR, I Filed December month GSTR 3B. I mistakenly entered only the purchase and not entered the sales outward supplies in gstr3b. I submitted and filed. Now please help me how to change or correct it or can I file the outward supply of December along with January month GSTR 3B.

        1. Thank you so much for your timely help, sir. so no need to submit again in January returns. GSTR-1 for December is enough.

    40. Hi,
      As a provider of Transportation Services, if services are provided to a registered dealer, where should we show the value of services provided to registered as the liability of paying GST on this is with the service recipient (receipt as reverse charge) and not with us in 3B. There is no option for Outward taxable supplies (on reverse charge) in GSTR 3B. Do we need to show the Taxable amount in Outward supplies without mentioning the tax part or we should skip it in 3B. Please suggest.

    41. Hi,
      As a GTA if services are provided to both registered and unregistered during the period July to September 2017, where should we show the value of services provided to registered as the liability of paying GST on this is with the service recipient and not with the GTA. There is no option for Outward taxable supplies (on reverse charge) in GSTR 3B.

    42. I have been trying to file GSTR 3b since oct end. While GSTR 1 is filed 3b is constantly in submitted status and not moving to filed status. I have used all correct processes to file using EVC. Because of this I am stuck in Oct and Nov

    48. Hi, I am a small trader purchase machines & sell. My doubt is where should I enter the tax paid while purchasing in GSTR 3b & how to get ITC. I have paid tax for purchase & also collected tax for sales from the client should I enter in reverse charge.

      1. The details of tax paid in respect of purchases from a registered dealer have to be entered in the eligible ITC column under the head “all other ITC”. Details of purchases are not required to be entered in GSTR-3b. for tax paid on purchase from unregistered dealers, details have to be mentioned in the Details of outward supplies and inward supplies liable to reverse charge under head “inward supplies liable to reverse
        charge”.

      3. When I navigate to Interest and fee. Here it is showing amount as 0. So there is late amount but still, it is showing up message
      Late fee for the month includes previous month’s late fee charged due to delay in filing of the return. The calculation is [Date of Filing – (Date of Submission or Due date of Filing, whichever is later)] * 100/day * per Act (CGST/SGST).

      1. While filing the return for the month of September 2017 the liability is shown for the amount of Rs.2500+2500 so maybe you have wrongly filed any sale amount in August return or in September return. You have to check that in your return.

Dear Sir, In GSTR-3B, IGST’s liability is discharge from IGST INPUT and balance amount discharge from SGST’s liability, we have not discharge CGST liability from IGST input, because we have excess ITC available in CGST Input But after OFFSET LIABILITY massage shown discharge the liability first CGST & then SGST. (We have excess input in CGST). Please Guide.

    77. You have SUBMITTED TRAN-1 form but have not FILED it. You are requested to FILE the same before submitting this return. please guide if this message shows.

    78. Dear Experts, This blog is very useful for GST confusion. My question is …We have a petrol pump and other service provider which is taxable under GST and common GST number of firm.

      1. It is required to show petrol sales in GSTR 3B as non-gst supplies.

    79. sir, we are doing transport business & registered under GST But all our supply is to registered person who pay there tax @5% under reverse charge so is we required to file form GSTR-3B, what detail we required to fill & where.

    80. Expenses or supplies from unregistered dealers amounting to less than Rs. 5000/- per day should/need not be mentioned in GSTR-3B ?

      1. As per RCM provision, if a registered dealer purchase goods, exceeding Rs 5000 in a day, from unregistered dealers, then only he will be liable to pay tax under RCM. As your purchase is well within the limit, you are not liable to RCM and thus need not to mention it in GSTR 3B.

    81. Sir,

      While Submitting the GSTR 3B. wrongly entered the ITC Credit in reverse Charge column. Please suggest what can i do for the correct it?

      1. No. The erstwhile limit under Service Tax of Rs. 750/- & 1500/- for GTA, as the case may be, is still available under GST Law. There is thus no need of any RCM in your case of a single consignment valued less than Rs.750/-. delivered to you by a GTA.

    82. We have goods imported on which CVD, CESS, SAD and anti dumping duties has been paid. What are duties we can take credit for the stocks lying with us?

    83. Hi ! i have one doubt, can we file GSTR 3b first and then gstr 1? is there any thing specified as to what should be filed first?

    84. Sir,
      We are doing transport service. In this we are charging GST @5% (for individual more than Rs.1500/- as per abatement (7A)). Balance sales we are not charging GST. While filing the GSTR-3B, is it required to show other than GST charged invoice or only GST charged invoice details. If we need to show the other than GST charged sales details, where i need to show other sales in GSTR-3B.

      Provided that the said exemption shall not be applicable where the aggregate value of such supplies of goods or service or both received by a registered person from any or all the suppliers, who is or are not registered, exceeds five thousand rupees in a day.

      My question is
      X is the unregistered dealer supplying the goods to registered dealer for Rs.3000/-
      Y is the unregistered dealer supplying the goods to registered dealer for Rs.4000/-
      Now the aggregate is exceeding the thershold limit of Rs.5000/- in a day.

    112. RCM for “Goods Transport Agency”

      We, Public Ltd Company registered under GST Act as a Regular Dealer. We are the recipient of GTA Service from the Transporter. As per the RCM in-respect of GTA, we have to pay the GST to the Government. What is the Tax Rate for GTA under GST? What will be the case for GST paid in RCM for GTA and whether the credit will be allowed or not?

    113. I AM DOING READYMADE GARMENTS RETAIL BUSINESS, IN THE MONTH OF JULY I AM NOT SUPPOSE TO PURCHASE ANY GARMENTS FORM REGISTERED DEALER AND ALSO I AM NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY TO REGISTERED DEALER . SO, HOW CAN I FILE GSTR3 …. WHETHER I SHOULD FILE NIL RETURN TAX i.e, NO TAX RETURN

      1. NIL return has to be submitted only when there are no transaction of purchase and sales during that period. In case of purchase from unregistered dealer during the return period, reverse charge mechanism applies and filing of return becomes mandatory. transactions have to be shown in the returns for sale and purchase from unregistered dealer.

      2. 1st you have GST no. If yes
        There is a column in GSTR3B to fill consolidated amount of outward & inward supply from unregistered dealer.

    114. how to file no tax return in GST portal …… because in July month i am made any purchase form gst registered dealer…… so what’s the procedure for that…

      1. “NIL return has to be submitted only when there are no transaction of purchase and sales during that period. In case of purchase from unregistered dealer during the return period, reverse charge mechanism applies and filing of return becomes mandatory. transactions have to be shown in the returns for sale and purchase from unregistered dealer.”

        1. Even if the transaction below 5000/day from unregistered. The gst software’s declare it as In exempted list. And total of it’s summary shown in step-5 from a supplier under composition scheme, exempted and nil rated supply.

    115. In Form 3B at Point No.5. Details of Value of exempt, nil-rated and non-GST inward supplies have to be furnished, Now In the table it is required to report figures for purchases made which are either exempt, NIL rated or non- GST supply. However, as stated in the table above, the meaning of non-GST inward supplies is not provided under the law, which is leaving us with a confusion whether non – GST supplies means the transactions which are out of the purview of GST ???

      1. Transaction below 5000 from unregistered have converted in to exempt as per law. No need to pay gst and also No RCM credit. Only total value of good or inputservice below 5000/day have to mentioned in step 5. Inter or intra.

    116. How it is possible to capture the supplies made to composition taxable persons. At the time making outward supplies do we need to record the details of supplies made to composition dealers separately?

      1. In case of sales to composition dealer also you have to charge the same GST rate as applicable to your product or services. But as in return you have to give the sales to composition dealer in separate column so you have to record the sales separately.
