  1. Facts

    Every taxable sale must be reported in GSTR-1 under Sec 37. A sale missed in GSTR-1 also means tax was not paid in GSTR-3B. Add it through GSTR-1A before GSTR-3B, or in the next GSTR-1 with interest on the delayed tax.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 37, CGST Act 2017Details of outward supplies to be furnished in GSTR-1
    • Sec 50(1), CGST Act 2017Interest at 18 percent a year on tax paid late, on the part paid in cash
    • Sec 39(9), CGST Act 2017Errors in a return are corrected in a later return, within the time limit
  3. Analysis

    If a ₹2,50,000 invoice was left out of September's GSTR-1, add it through GSTR-1A before filing September's GSTR-3B and there is no interest. If GSTR-3B is already filed, report it in October and pay interest for the month. Missing B2B invoices also deny your buyer credit, so tell him.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Export the sales register and GSTR-1 invoice list
    2. Match invoice numbers and amounts
    3. Add missing invoices through GSTR-1A or the next GSTR-1
    4. Pay interest on any delayed tax
    5. Find the cause, such as a second billing series
