GSTR-3B Return Verification Guide
GSTR-3B is where your monthly tax liability is officially cleared. Filing erroneous details can result in severe interest charges (up to 18% p.a.) or automatic blocking of credit registers by tax authorities.
Output Tax Verification
Ensure that sales numbers and taxes in Table 3.1 completely match GSTR-1 data.
GSTR-2B ITC Match
Claim input tax credit in Table 4(A)(5) strictly up to the amount shown in the GSTR-2B portal statement.
Reverse Charge RCM
Verify that transport (GTA), legal services, or import fees are reported u/s 9(3)/9(4) and paid in cash.
Ineligible ITC Reversal
Reverse block credits under Section 17(5) or general Rule 42/43 reversals for non-business purchases.
Cash & Credit Ledgers
Check active portal ledger balances. Apply credit ledger balances first, then plan challan payments.
Interest & Late Fee Estimation
Calculate interest (18% p.a. on net tax paid in cash) if filing is delayed or payments are late.
