Differences between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B liability can arise from amendments, credit notes, advances, or entries corrected in later months. If the tax was finally paid, show that with a month-wise reconciliation.

Provisions

Sec 37(1), CGST Act 2017; Sec 39(1), CGST Act 2017; Rule 142(1A), CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

Prepare a table of GSTR-1 liability and 3B liability month by month, with reasons for each difference and the month where it was set right. If an invoice was reported in GSTR-1 but cancelled, show the amendment. Where tax was actually short paid, pay it with interest. From the July 2025 period, 3B liability is auto-filled from GSTR-1 and locked, so such gaps are now less common.

Close

  1. Put GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B liability side by side month-wise.
  2. Explain each difference with documents.
  3. Pay any real short payment with interest.
  4. File Part B with the table.
