Question14:

Query regarding GSTR 1-After opting for monthly return- forgot to file August GSTR 1 and considered August Sale in September- How to rectify, as now it is not accepting August invoices in August return

In one of our case we have opted for monthly filing of GST R1, but by mistake we forgot to file its August return and while filing September return we had taken into account August Sales also.

Now what should we do, as now while filing GSTR 1 of August (as we have to file it because we have opted for monthly filing of return), it is not accepting August invoices -  showing `Processed with error` as those invoices are already entered in September return.

How to delete those invoices and correct September return or any other remedy?

Answer:

Please take our advice as thumb rule for working with GST portal and   in case of any problem with the portal you may always follow it.

See the portal is not operating in full swing there are many  events  which are not considered at the time of making of portal but now these events( problem) are arising in practical

The service provider to the Government as well as the Government are doing their best to solve the same You will note that  every day some development is taking place Under these circumstances one thing is very clear and also decided by the honourable courts that if the registered person has  tried to submit certain information but he is stopped because of technical problems in functioning of portal then he can 't be penalized

So as a thumb rule file your returns in time if you are stopped then take a screen shot send  a copy of the same to the help desk with a request to help desk also send a copy to the jurisdictional officer and commissioner .Keep on sending reminders. The most important point is to pay tax with interest if interest is due No penalty can be imposed in above case. . (Reply Dt. 06/01/2018)
