If credit notes reduce your GSTR-3B tax but are not reported in GSTR-1, GSTR-1 shows higher tax. The fix is to report the credit notes in GSTR-1 and explain in Part B.

Provisions

Rule 88C, CGST Rules 2017; Sec 34, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Credit notes of ₹10 lakh plus ₹1.8 lakh tax netted in 3B but missing in GSTR-1 Table 9B leave a ₹1.8 lakh gap in that month. Report them in the next GSTR-1 within the Sec 34 time limit. Explain in Part B with the credit note list. Watch the 30 November cut-off.

Close
