A sales bill for inter-state supply (Maharashtra to Gujarat) was raised in May 2019 charging IGST. However, while reporting in monthly GSTR-1 same was shown as intra-state supply and accordingly tax was shown in CGST and SGST. Subsequently, while making payment of GST and filing GSTR-3B same mistake was followed resulting purchaser not availed of ITC. The mistake came to notice in December. My query is how do I correct this error now in terms for correct reporting in GST return as well as payment under correct head?

Thanks in advance.

Now in the subsequent 3b you can pay of the correct liability which is IGST and simultaneously apply for the refund of cgst and sgst erroneously paid.(assuming you have no ITC balance)

correction can be made in subsequent GSTR-1 by showing correct IGST. in subsequent 3B you can declare the IGST liability or better still, you can pay off the same in DRC-03. which will enable you to avoid complication of subsequent 3Bs as well. regarding refund of excess paid you can apply online using RFD-01 and time frame will be as per department' satisfaction.
