File GSTR-3B by Exporting JSON File from TallyPrime

For TallyPrime 5.0 & later

TallyPrime ensures that once your GSTR‑3B is ready for filing with correct values, you can file GSTR-3B by exporting JSON file from TallyPrime. After exporting the JSON file, you can upload it on the GST portal and file your return.

In addition, if you are a QRMP dealer, you can export GSTR‑3B for a quarter as well.

Export JSON File from TallyPrime → File GSTR-3B on GST Portal

Before you begin | Prerequisites

Ensure that your GSTR‑3B values are accurate and match the GST portal. The ITC in TallyPrime should match the portal’s prefilled values from GSTR‑1 and GSTR‑2A. Once GSTR‑3B is filed, you cannot change the values. Correct values help avoid ITC loss or penalties for excess ITC claimed.

Questions & Answers

1. 1. Why is it required to export GSTR-3B in the JSON format? Is it not possible to upload the MS Excel or CSV file of GSTR-3B on the GST portal?
      
      JSON format is compatible to the GST portal, and therefore, you need a GSTR-3B JSON file to file your return.
      
      
   2. Can I prepare GSTR-3B online on the GST portal and make the payment later? If yes, then how do I do it?
      
      Yes. You can prepare GSTR‑3B online on the GST portal and make the payment later. You can retain the draft for 15 days and then proceed to make the payment. It is important to note that GSTR‑3B is filed only after a successful payment of your net liability, if applicable.
