GSTR-3B figures & GST Portal Issues/ Errors Encountered

Duplicate Invoices in GSTR-2B:

Issue: Duplicate invoices appeared in GSTR-2B for September and October 2024 due to a technical glitch in the Invoice Matching System.
Resolution:
- GSTN has rectified the issue.
- Taxpayers are advised not to claim ITC on duplicate entries.
- For further assistance, raise a ticket via the GST self-service portal: selfservice.gstsystem.in, and share the ticket number via Direct Message to GSTN.

QRMP Advisory for Quarterly Filers:

GSTR-2B Generation:
- Taxpayers under the QRMP scheme will receive GSTR-2B only once per quarter, not monthly.
- Example: For October-December 2024, GSTR-2B will be available only for December 2024.

Rate-wise Invoice Details:

GSTR-2B Limitation: Rate-wise details are unavailable in GSTR-2B generated through IMS.
Alternative: Taxpayers requiring rate-wise details should refer to GSTR-2A.

Non-Generation of GSTR-2B:

Scenarios:
- QRMP Taxpayers: No GSTR-2B for the first two months of the quarter.
- Pending GSTR-3B: If a prior period’s GSTR-3B is unfiled, GSTR-2B for the next period won’t be generated.
Resolution: File pending GSTR-3B, then manually compute GSTR-2B on the IMS dashboard.

No Relief on GST for Insurance Premiums:

The 18% GST on life and health insurance premiums remains unchanged, as the GST Council deferred decisions on rate revisions.

Clarification on Popcorn GST Rates:

Salted Popcorn: Attracts 5% GST.
Caramel Popcorn: Attracts 18% GST.

Locking of GSTR-3B Figures (January 2025 Onwards):

GSTR-3B figures will be locked starting January 2025. Liability adjustments can only be made via GSTR-1A, while ITC modifications will be handled through the IMS Dashboard.
Figures Locking: Once filed, GSTR-3B figures will be locked.
Adjustments:
- Liability: Through GSTR-1A.
- ITC: Via the IMS Dashboard.
