Analysis
Common reasons include stock transfers to other GSTINs counted in GST but not in accounts, exempt or non-GST income in the P&L, and timing of unbilled revenue. Prepare a three-way reconciliation of books, GSTR-9 and ITR. If GST turnover is short, pay tax with DRC-03. If the ITR is wrong, correct it on the income-tax side with your CA.
