SB003 means the GSTIN in the shipping bill does not match the GSTIN that filed the GSTR-1 entry.

Provisions

Customs IGST refund validation error codes; Rule 96(2), CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

This happens when a business with GSTINs in two states files the shipping bill under one and the GSTR-1 under another. The refund can only go where the data matches. Report the invoice from the correct GSTIN, or get the shipping bill corrected through customs.

Close

  1. Check the GSTIN on the shipping bill.
  2. Check which GSTIN reported the invoice.
  3. Correct the reporting GSTIN or approach customs for shipping bill amendment.
  4. Recheck the status.
