Dear Sir,
While filing GST 1 quaterly return (Oct to Dec,18) of F.Y 18-19.
We suppose to add two invoice details into B2C tab.
1st Entry was
State – Maharashtra
Basic – 5,00,000
CGST 9% – 45,000
SGST 9% – 45,000
Total – 5,90,000
2nd Entry was
State – Rajasthan
Basic – 5,00,000
IGST 18% – 90000
Total – 5,90,000
From the above two entries we have added only one invoice details i.e of Maharashtra.
And now while filing GST 1 returns of F.Y 19-20, Q2 (July – Sept,19), there is no option of adding the invoice details of Last Year.
Can you please let us know, how we can add missed invoice detail in GST 1 return.

August 26, 2019
If you have claimed ITC of FY 2017-18 in April’19, it is altogether incorrect as time limit of claiming ITC for FY 17-18 was upto filing of GSTR-3B of Sep 2018 or filing of annual return whichever is earlier. You can only show ITC of FY 2017-18 claimed upto Sep 2018 in GSTR-9.
August 17, 2019
WHETHER GSTR 9 FOR FY 2017-18 IS NOW DATE IS EXTENDED OR NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT FILED ANY RETURN
August 19, 2019
No such Information available on Portal Till now
August 16, 2019
Dear Sir,
While filing GST 9 Annual Returns of F.Y 17-18, we came cross Table 15 (Demands & Refunds).
During 17-18, we have paid IGST on export of services and then we have claimed refund from the Government.
In the whole F.Y 17-18 (July, 17 to March,18), we have paid IGST of Rs 2,00,000/-
Bifurcation of above IGST Rs 2,00,000/- we have paid.
August ,17 – 19000
September ,17 – 31000
December, 17 – 50,000
February, 18 – 1,00,000
In December, 17, the processed for claiming refund was started.
So, by end of March, 18, we have claimed August and September, 17, IGST amount i.e 50,000 (19000+31000) and we got refund 90% of 50000 and 10% balance we have got in F.Y 18-19.
Now, in GST 9 Annual Returns, Table 15, What will be the amount we have to show under Refund Claimed (Table 15 of GST9)?
It will be Rs 2,00,000 which we have paid or the claimed amount i.e 50000?
August 19, 2019
Rs 200000 is to be shown under Table 15A, Rs 50000 is to be shown
under Table 15B & the Balance amount will be shown either in Table 15C
or 15D as the case may be
July 21, 2019
1) How I can take credit of IGST, SGST, CGST amount, which we have paid to our supplier but unable to feed correct amount in GSTR 3 . But this GST TAX is showing in GSTR 2. How we can take benefit for the same.
2) By Mistake we have put wrong amount in GSTR 3 in IGST, CGST, SGST column. We have feed IGST amount in CGST & SGST column (Half + Half). But total GSTR3 tax amount is matching with our GSTR2 tax amount. How to correct the same.
July 22, 2019
1. You can take the benefit of remaining ITC in the next period as the GSTR-3B can not be revised
2. Please specify the Question , whether you are talking about IGST liability or ITC
July 11, 2019
Hi Sir,
In month of January, 18, we have exported some services.
We have paid IGST on that amount Rs 2,00,000/-.
While filing RFD 01A (Refund Application), we have bymistakely put Rs 1,80,000/- instead of Rs 2,00,000/-.
Please let us know how we can get refund of the balance Rs 20,000/- (200000-180000).
As, we know that we can file RFD 01A only one time for the particular month.
Is their any way to claim the balance amount Rs 20,000/- from the government?
July 11, 2019
Please refer the matter to the portal through mail or by call

Hi,
In October, 17, we have raise invoice on of our client, but IGST for that invoice was not paid in October, 17, as the payment itself was uncertain.
So, we decided to pay IGST after the receipt of payment, by paying interest.
The amount of IGST Rs 65,280/- for above invoice was paid in January, 18, with interest.
However, this was not shown in GST 3B for January, 18 as we were not clear about the procedure.
However, we have include invoice details in GST 1 of 17-18.
For 17-18, on the GST portal the amount of Rs 65,280/- was being shown as credit at the beginning of F.Y 18-19.
The above IGST Rs 65,280/- was included in January, 19, GST 3B in F.Y 18-19 but not included in GST 1 of F.Y 18-19.
Now, in GST 9 Annual Return, we have included the above Rs 65,280/- in table 9 under Tax payable in GST 9.
But we cannot edit the Paid Through Cash column.
Can you please let me know, where the above paid IGST Rs 65,280/- to be shown in GST 9 of F.Y 17-18?
June 26, 2019
Since you have not included the above amount in GSTR-3B in the F.Y.2017-18, Rs.65,280 has not reflected in the cash paid column. You can try filing through offline excel utility provided by the department since the columns are editable. If the problem persists, you need to contact the department for assistance.
June 21, 2019
In july 2017, I have entered wrong amount in IGST (Purchase). Is it possible to correct the same. now?
June 24, 2019
There is no option to revise the returns under GST.
June 21, 2019
Hi,
In March, 18 (F.Y 17-18), we have import of services, on which we had to pay IGST under RCM, but we forgot to pay and also did not include in GST 3B. The above IGST we had paid in Jan, 19 (F.Y 18-19).
We have included IGST payable under table 4(g) in GST 9 Annual return.
Can you please let us know, where we have to show the paid IGST on import of services in GST 9 return of F.Y 17-18?
June 24, 2019
The amount has been correctly mentioned in Table 4(g). but there will be a difference between your monthly/quarterly returns and annual returns for which you can provide a clarification afterwards.
June 19, 2019
required some more time to file gstr9
June 20, 2019
The portal does not allow extended for due dates, you may check or contact GSTN helpdesk.
June 15, 2019
We got our GST registration in February 2018. So in GSTR 9 do we have to show sales and purchases from only February 2018 to March 2018 or even those before February 2018?
June 18, 2019
Only for the month of Feb & March 2018.
June 19, 2019
If your Turnover exceeds 2 cr then you have to show total sales details in 9C but if your turnover does not exceed 2 cr , you are required to file GST 9 where only turnover of those two months have to be mentioned
June 20, 2019
Please specify which two months? If your total turnover for FY 2017-18 does not exceeds 2 cr limit, only GSTR 9 has to be filed for the month of July 2017-Mar 2018.
December 25, 2018
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what you’ve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. You’ve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
December 25, 2018
Thanks, Irwin for sharing your feedback, next time I’ll definitely add more content in a different way.
December 4, 2018
Bill of 2017-18 we have wrongly put the registered party in to unregistered in GSTR-1 then can we amend that bill in Annual Return.
December 5, 2018
Yes, you can amend that bill in Annual Return.
December 4, 2018
