TDS or TCS credit mismatch in scrutiny
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Government bodies deduct GST TDS under Sec 51 and e-commerce operators collect TCS under Sec 52. The amounts they report show your supply value. Scrutiny compares this with your GSTR-1.
Provisions and law
- Sec 51, CGST Act 2017Notified persons deduct TDS on payments to suppliers for taxable supplies
- Sec 52, CGST Act 2017E-commerce operators collect TCS on net supplies made through them
- Sec 61, CGST Act 2017Proper officer may scrutinise returns, inform discrepancies and seek an explanation
Analysis
Example: a contractor's TDS credits show Rs 80 lakh of supplies to a municipal body, but GSTR-1 shows Rs 70 lakh. The Rs 10 lakh may be invoices of the previous year paid this year, or a missed invoice. Prepare a deductor-wise list of invoices and payments with dates to explain timing, and pay tax on any missed supply.

- Download TDS and TCS credit details for the period
- Match deductor-wise or operator-wise values with GSTR-1
