The tax liability is automatically populated from declared supplies in GSTR-1, GSTR-1A, or the Invoice Furnishing Facility. The Input Tax Credit is auto-populated from GSTR-2B. Taxpayers will receive a system-generated PDF of the auto-populated GSTR-3B, ensuring they can review the values before filing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Amendment of Outward Supplies:<\/span> Taxpayers can now correct discrepancies in their declared outward supplies via GSTR-1A before filing GSTR-3B.
