Can we litigate the issues even gst paid during gst audit under section 65 of CGST ACt 2027

After a few weeks, they point out a potential short-payment of GST worth ₹150 lakhs, citing “ineligible ITC”.The CFO of the compant, worried about escalating matters, makes a payment through Form DRC-03 during the audit itself.

 After successful implementation of Phase-I & Phase-II now Phase-III regarding Table 12 of GSTR-1 & 1A is being implemented, from return period February 2025. In this phase manual entry of HSN has been replaced by choosing correct HSN from given Drop down. Also, Table-12 has been bifurcated into two tabs namely B2B and B2C, to report these supplies separately. Further, validation regarding values of the supplies and tax amounts involved in the same, have also been introduced for both the tabs of Table-12. However in initial period these validations have been kept in warning mode only, which means failing the validation will not be a blocker for filling of GSTR-1& 1A.

जनवरी 2025 से GSTR-1/ GSTR-1A भरना हुआ और कठिन, HSN कोड में दिखाई गयी value को GSTR -1 टेबल 12 से मैच करना होगा

 जनवरी 2025 से, GSTR-1/1A में HSN कोड रिपोर्टिंग का चरण- III लागू किया जाएगा।

1. एचएसएन कोड की मैनुअल प्रविष्टि की अनुमति नहीं दी जाएगी, करदाताओं को ड्रॉपडाउन से कोड का चयन करना आवश्यक है। 

2. रिपोर्ट को B2B और B2C आपूर्ति के लिए दो टैब में विभाजित किया जाएगा, प्रत्येक आपूर्ति मूल्यों और कर राशियों के लिए सत्यापन के अपने स्वयं के सेट के साथ होना जरुरी होगा । 

तालिका-12 के दोनों टैब के लिए आपूर्ति के मूल्यों और उसमें शामिल कर राशि के बारे में सत्यापन भी शुरू किया गया है।  

हालांकि प्रारंभिक अवधि में ये सत्यापन शुरू में चेतावनी के तौर पर होंगे जिसका अर्थ है कि विसंगतियां होने पर भी GSTR-1 फाइलिंग को अआप कर पाएंगे किन्तु आने वाले समय में जबकि ये कंपल्सरी हो जायेंगे तो आप कोई भी विसंगति होने पर GSTR-1& 1A फाइल नहीं कर पाएंगे।   

What will happen if forget to file GSTR-09

     ₹50/day (₹25 each under CGST and SGST), Maximum amount up to  0.04% of turnover.

  • If your aggregate Turnover is ₹5 crore to ₹20 crore:
