  1. Facts

    From the July 2025 tax period, the liability auto-filled in GSTR-3B from GSTR-1, GSTR-1A and IFF is not editable. Errors in outward supplies must be corrected through GSTR-1A before filing GSTR-3B. Once GSTR-3B is filed, it cannot be revised.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 37, CGST Act 2017Details of outward supplies to be furnished in GSTR-1
    • Sec 39(9), CGST Act 2017Errors in a return are corrected in a later return, within the time limit
    • Rule 61, CGST Rules 2017Form and manner of GSTR-3B; monthly filers by the 20th of the next month
  3. Analysis

    If you reported an invoice of ₹5,00,000 as ₹50,00,000 in GSTR-1, GSTR-3B will show tax on the wrong figure and you cannot type it down. The fix is to file GSTR-1A for the same month with the corrected invoice, which then updates GSTR-3B. If GSTR-3B is already filed, the excess can only be adjusted through amendments in a later GSTR-1 and the next GSTR-3B, within the time limits of Sec 39(9) and Sec 34.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Compare the GSTR-3B auto-filled figures with your sales register before you file
    2. If GSTR-1 has an error, open GSTR-1A for the same period and correct the invoice
    3. Check that GSTR-3B now shows the corrected liability
    4. File GSTR-3B and keep a note of the correction

Never file GSTR-3B first and plan to correct later; the wrong liability becomes final.
