CA Intermediate · Taxation · Returns

Sundaram Traders, Madurai, is a regular taxpayer with aggregate turnover above Rs 5 crore that files GSTR-1 monthly. It wants to correct a wrong GSTIN of a recipient that it entered in an invoice reported in the GSTR-1 of June. Where should the correction be made?

The correction must be made in the amendment table of a later period's GSTR-1. A filed GSTR-1 cannot be revised, so errors in invoice details such as the recipient's GSTIN are rectified by amending them in a subsequent return.

  2. BIn the amendment table of GSTR-1 of a later periodCorrect
  3. CBy filing GSTR-3B again for June
  4. DBy cancelling the GSTIN of the recipient

Explanation

GSTR-1 once filed cannot be revised. Errors in details of outward supplies already reported are rectified through the amendment tables of a subsequent period's GSTR-1. GSTR-3B is a summary return and is not the place to amend invoice-level recipient details.
