Sir, I filled properly my GSTR3B for the month of February 2018 and subsequently GSTR1 also properly. I also filed RCM figures (transportation expences) but at the time of submitting GSTR3B, it did not ask for payment of GST amount for RCM. I presumed that perhaps RULES may have been amended sothat RCM demand might have been mitigated from the balance of ITC in my GST ledger. Now I was checking my previous filed returns. To my great surprise GSTR3B for the month of February 2018 is showing all figures as ZERO. Whereas GSTR1 for February 2018 is correct. Now today is 12.06.2018. What are the options before me to rectify the mistake. Surendra Singhania

Disclosure of details in GSTR-1 does not result in payment of tax. The tax has to be paid only through GSTR-3B. To avoid interest liability it is better to show the RCM liability of February 2018 in Form GSTR-3B of May 2018. You may have to pay interest @18% on RCM liability from 20th March 2018 till the date of payment i.e. 20th June 2018.

In the same sequence my question is : "Since all the figures of GSTR3B of period February 2018 (including the ITC on the purchase made during February 2018 ) have become ZERO, Should I also claim these ITC (on purchases made during February 2018) in my GSTR3B return for the period of May 2018. Kind regards, Surendra K Singhania

I would recommend you to go to Advance Ruling Authority to solve this matter immediately without delaying unnecessarily. There you can settle your problem now and can avoid any future interest and penalty.
