Taxpayers under regular category are filing GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B to report their transactions. GSTR 1 is for reporting of details of outward supplies including amendments if any and GSTR 3B is for reporting summary transactions for payment of taxes and claiming ITC.
Transactions relating to the tax period April 2019 to March 2020 may be rectified while filing returns for September 2020 (Last date to file GSTR 3B for September 2020 is 20th October 2020). No additional claim of missing ITC may be made post filing of September 20 returns. You shall lose the right to claim any eligible ITC which appears in your books of accounts.
Action to be taken before on or before filing returns for September 2020 –
1. Reconcile ITC appearing in GSTR 2A with Inward Register
2. Claim missing ITC not appearing in Purchase Register
3. Follow up with suppliers who have not reported invoice details for sales made to you
4. Reconcile if invoices raised to customers are reported in B2B (customers with GSTIN) or in B2C (URD customers)
5. Reconcile turnover reported matches with Books of Account as well as GSTR1/3B
6. Issue any pending credit notes pertaining to taxable outward supplies
