Amendments can be made in each invoice and details at the summary level also. Both types of amendments have their own limitations. These must be followed clearly to avoid any mistakes in filing GSTR 1.
28th May 2021
The GST Council recommended in its 43rd meeting the following:
(1) The monthly filing of GSTR-1 for May 2021 will be extended from 11th June 2021 to 26th June 2021.
(2) Filing of B2B sales invoices in IFF by QRMP taxpayers for May 2021 is extended from 13th June 2021 to 28th June 2021.
(3) Companies that are GST taxpayers have been given permission to authenticate returns using EVC instead of digital signature up to 31st August 2021.
(4) Late fee has been rationalised for future tax periods as follows:
(i) If the annual turnover in the previous financial year is up to Rs.1.5 crore then the late fee of a maximum of Rs.2,000 per return can only be charged (i.e Rs.1000 each for CGST and SGST).
(ii) If the turnover ranges between Rs.1.5 crore and Rs.5 crore then the maximum late fee of Rs.5,000 per return can only be charged (i.e Rs. 2500 each for CGST and SGST).
(iii) If the turnover is more than Rs.5 crore then a late fee of a maximum of Rs.10,000 (i.e Rs. 5000 per CGST and SGST) can be charged.
1st May 2021
(1) The due date to file GSTR-1 for April 2021 is extended from 11th May 2021 to 26th May 2021.
(2) The time limit to furnish B2B supplies on the IFF (optional facility), for April 2021 has been extended from 13th May to 28th May 2021.
9th January 2021
If a taxpayer with an annual aggregate turnover of Rs.5 crore does not opt into the QRMP scheme, he will be considered as a monthly filer of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from the January 2021 tax period onwards. Hence the due date for GSTR-1 shall be the 11th of next month and GSTR-3B shall be the 20th of next month.
22nd December 2020
(1) Rule 21 Amended: If the outward supplies reported in Form GSTR-1 are in excess of the outward supplies reported in the GSTR-3B for the said tax period, the GSTIN can be cancelled.
(2) Rule 21A(2A) Inserted: If there are significant differences in outward supplies between GSTR-3B & 1, or inward supplies between GSTR-3B & 2B, in contravention of Act/Rules, the said taxpayer’s GSTIN could be suspended.
(3) Rule 59(5) Inserted: The GSTR-1 for the current tax period cannot be filed or the IFF cannot be used if:
(a) The GSTR-3B was not filed for the preceding two months in case of monthly GSTR-1 filers
(b) GSTR-3B was not filed for the preceding tax period in case of quarterly GSTR-1 filers, or in cases where Rule 86B is violated
(4) Rule 138E Amended: Now, e-way bills cannot be generated if the GST registration has been suspended on account of the taxpayer’s GSTIN liable for cancellation under sub-rule (2) of Rule 21A or on account of significant differences/ anomalies between the GSTR-3B & 1/2B
10th November 2020
The due date for GSTR-1 for the periods October 2020 to March 2021 is as follows:
Quarterly return filers:
| Return Period | Due date |
| Oct 2020 to Dec 2020 | 13 Jan 2021 |
| Jan 2020 to March 2021 | 13 Apr 2021 |
Monthly Return Filers:
| Return Period | Due date |
| Oct 2020 | 11 Nov 2020 |
| Nov 2020 | 11 Dec 2020 |
| Dec 2020 | 11 Jan 2021 |
| Jan 2021 | 11 Feb 2021 |
| Feb 2021 | 11 Mar 2021 |
| Mar 2021 | 11 Apr 2021 |
Return filing period must be the period in which the amendment is made. For example, if the amendment is made in August and the return filing period will be
The following are the types of amendments covered:
B2C Others Amendments Advances Received (Tax Liability) Amendments Adjustment of Advances Amendments
Amendment can be made in the later tax period also but the date of revised amended invoice date must be the last date of the original invoice tax period. For example, if an original invoice dated 12/07/2021 is being amended in August then the amended invoice date cannot be later than 31/07/2021.
For all the three types of summary level amendments, details of taxes are always filled on the basis of Place of Supply (POS) and tax rate. Hence the amendment of both these details are to be done at the summary level only.
If one detail is amended other linked details will also get amended automatically. For example, you have mentioned 5% and 12% tax rates under a POS Karnataka and now you want to make amendments for 5% tax values only, then you will have enter amended values in 5% tax values as well as 12% tax values again with original values
Original POS is the basis for all amendments, you can amend the original POS and replace it with another POS but with specific conditions.
Let us look at examples of amendment possibilities:
