  1. 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.

  2. 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
  3. 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.

    1. Download TDS and TCS credit details for the period
    2. Match deductor-wise or operator-wise values with GSTR-1
    3. Explain timing differences with invoice and payment dates
