Filing GSTR-3B and Making Payments

In Tally.ERP 9, you can generate your GSTR-3B data in the MS Word format (press Ctrl+P) and print it. Then you can directly copy the details from the MS Word file to the online GSTR-3B form, or use the printout to fill information manually.

Note: In Release 6.1.1, the value from transactions recorded for tax liability on advance receipt from customers and reverse on URD purchases will not be included in the GSTR-3B returns by default. If you want to report them in GSTR-3B, enable the options Enable tax liability on advance receipts and Enable tax liability on reverse charge (Purchase from unregistered dealer) in the Company GST Details screen.

Making Payments towards GSTR-3B

After successfully filing GSTR-3B, you can easily make payments to GST by creating a challan. The GST ITC amount that is allowed will be updated in the credit ledger in the GST portal, and will be carried forward to the subsequent month.

To match the GST amount payable with your books of accounts, you can adjust the GST liability with the tax credit. Refer to Recording Journal Vouchers for Adjustments Against Tax Credit under GST for the procedure to record the transaction.

If the above example is taken, GST payable is as shown below:
