If the excess is real, you pay it through DRC-03 and quote the DRC-03 ARN in Part B of DRC-01C. The GSTN manual says the DRC-03 must be filed on or after the date Part A was issued, and for a monthly return it must be for the same period.

Provisions

Rule 88D, CGST Rules 2017; Sec 50(3), CGST Act 2017; Sec 73, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Suppose Part A shows an excess of ₹4,20,000 for July and your check confirms ₹4,20,000 claimed on invoices never reported by a supplier. Pay it through DRC-03 for July, with interest under Sec 50(3) if it was used, and quote the ARN. Paying before a show cause notice avoids penalty for non-fraud cases.

Close

  1. Confirm the excess amount by head
  2. Compute interest if the credit was utilised
  3. File DRC-03 for the same period with the right cause
  4. Enter the DRC-03 ARN in Part B and file
