Sir, actually I have entered rent income from house property in 2 columns one in taxable outward supply and another in exempt income for the same value by mistake. How to rectify that

If you have mistakenly entered the same value under both taxable outward supply and exempt income in your GSTR-1, you can rectify this error by following these steps:
### **Steps to Rectify Errors in GSTR-1**
1. **Identify the Error:** - **Double Entry:** Confirm that the same amount has been mistakenly entered in both the taxable outward supply and exempt income columns. - **Correction Needed:** Determine the correct entry—whether it should be classified as taxable outward supply or exempt income.
2. **Review Filing Status:** - **GSTR-1 Status:** Check the status of the GSTR-1 for the relevant period. If it is still in the “draft” or “submitted” stage, you can make corrections directly. If it has already been filed, you will need to correct it through the next period's return.
3. **Filing a Revised Return:** - **Revised GSTR-1:** If the return has been filed, you will need to file a revised GSTR-1 to rectify the error. - **Access GST Portal:** Log in to the [GST Portal](https://www.gst.gov.in/). - **Navigate to GSTR-1:** Go to the “Returns” section and select “GSTR-1.” - **Select the Period:** Choose the relevant financial year and month for which you need to correct the return. - **Make Corrections:** Correct the erroneous entries by removing the duplicate entry. Ensure that you only enter the amount once, in the appropriate column.
4. **Submit Revised Return:** - **File Revised GSTR-1:** After making corrections, submit the revised GSTR-1. This will override the previous incorrect filing and reflect the corrected information.
5. **Review and Confirm:** - **Check Correction:** After submission, verify that the corrected data has been updated in the GST portal. - **Confirmation:** Ensure that the revised GSTR-1 has been successfully filed and that the error has been rectified.
6. **Inform Tax Authorities (if required):** - **Contact GST Helpdesk:** If you face issues or need further clarification, contact the GST helpdesk for assistance. - **Maintain Records:** Keep a record of all communications and revisions for future reference.
### **Additional Considerations:**
- **Timing for Corrections:** Ensure that the revised return is filed within the time limits specified by GST rules to avoid penalties or interest. - **Adjustments in GSTR-3B:** If the error impacts your GSTR-3B filings, ensure that adjustments are made accordingly in the next period's GSTR-3B.
### **Example Process:**
1. **Login:** Access the GST Portal. 2. **GSTR-1 Section:** Go to the “Returns” tab and select “GSTR-1.” 3. **Choose the Period:** Select the period in which the error occurred. 4. **Make Corrections:** Edit the details to remove the duplicate entry. Ensure the amount is recorded in the correct column. 5. **Submit:** File the corrected GSTR-1 as a revised return.
By following these steps, you will correct the error and ensure that your GST records are accurate. If you encounter difficulties or have specific questions related to your situation, consulting a tax professional may be beneficial.
