Facts
Officers compare e-way bills generated with sales reported in returns. Differences can come from cancelled e-way bills, stock transfers, job work movements or returns that are not sales.
Provisions and law
- Sec 37(1), CGST Act 2017Every regular registered person must report outward supplies in GSTR-1 for each tax period.
- Rule 142(1A), CGST Rules 2017Before a show cause notice, the officer may communicate the tax, interest and penalty ascertained in Part A of DRC-01A; the person may pay or give submissions in Part B.
Analysis
List e-way bills in the period and classify them: sales, stock transfers within the same GSTIN, job work, returns, and cancelled ones. Show that sales e-way bills match invoices reported in GSTR-1. Where an e-way bill was generated but the deal fell through, show cancellation or return. Pay only for real unreported sales.
