I found that there are two digit decimals. I removed and rounded off. However auto populated digits having two digit decimals cannot be changed. Still error exists. Column length including Rs symbol and comma exceeds 15 digit. But of course I cannot change 10 crore to 1 crore just to fit in the column.

It sounds like you're encountering an issue related to the formatting of values in your GST return filing. The "Invalid summary payload" error typically occurs when there are discrepancies or mismatches in the data entered, especially with regards to the length of numeric values and decimal places. Here are some steps and considerations that might help you resolve this issue:
1. **Check Decimal Places:** - Ensure that all numeric values, especially those with decimals, adhere to the format required. As per the GSTN guidelines, values like monetary amounts should typically have two decimal places unless specified otherwise.
2. **Format Adjustment:** - If your values are auto-populated and you cannot directly edit them to adjust decimal places, you may need to manually adjust the source data or use a formula to round off values appropriately before importing or submitting them in the GST offline utility.
3. **Column Length Limitations:** - Verify the maximum column length allowed for each field in your GST return. As you mentioned, some values exceeding 15 digits including symbols might cause errors. Ensure that such values are appropriately formatted to fit within the specified limits without compromising accuracy.
4. **GSTN Guidance:** - Follow the specific advice provided by GSTN support regarding rounding off values and adjusting decimal places. It's crucial to adhere to their recommendations, even if it means making adjustments to how values are presented or calculated.

6. **Offline Utility Checks:** - Use the offline utility provided by GSTN to validate your data before attempting to file online. The utility should highlight any validation errors, including issues related to decimal places and field lengths.
