In light of recent observations regarding discrepancies in the GSTR-3B filings of certain taxpayers, an important update has been made. Some of you may have encountered mismatches between the saved data in the GST portal and the actual figures reported, especially in areas concerning Input Tax Credit (ITC) availed and tax liability payments. The GST Council’s Grievance Redressal Committee has taken a proactive step to address these issues by offering a refiling option.
Understanding the Need for Refiling
The decision to allow the refiling of GSTR-3B was made to rectify discrepancies in the filed returns. If your returns have been marked for refiling, it means there’s a mismatch that needs correction. This opportunity is crucial for maintaining accurate and compliant GST records.
