Rel 3.0 – GSTR-1/GSTR-3B Exceptions & Resolutions

This page lists the uncertain transactions that occur in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, along with the corresponding resolution. 

 

Resolve Transactions Accidentally Marked for Deletion

The Marked for Deletion on Portal section of GSTR-1 provides you with an overall picture of the vouchers that have to be deleted from the portal, due to any changes in the transactions in your books. For such transactions, this section will help you identify the original entry on the portal, so that you can re-upload the transaction with the revised details.

However, in some cases, the transactions might accidentally appear in this section due to some changes in the transaction details, as explained below. You can easily address such cases by making the suggested updates.

In this section

Change in company GSTIN

In some cases, the GSTIN of your company might have been changed after the return was exported. The affected transactions will appear in the Marked for Deletion on Portal section.

You can find the same voucher under Uncertain Transactions as Mismatch in GST Registration Details between the GST Registration master and the transaction.

Press Enter on the voucher.

If the voucher has the correct information, select the option Apply changes from Transaction to Master. The transaction will be removed from the Marked for Deletion on Portal section and moved to the B2B Invoices or relevant section.

  1. Open the GSTR-1 report and drill down to the Mismatch in GST Registration Details between the Party and the transaction exception.

Invalid or Missing Information

Exception Report Solution
Unable to determine the transaction Type
 GSTR-3B

When a ledger with GST applicability is used in a transaction, and it is unclear if the transaction is a Sale or Purchase, the uncertain ‘Unable to determine transaction type’ is detected.

Typically, the adjusted transactions that are passed for non-compliance purposes are detected as ‘Unable to determine transaction type’, for example, Expense booking.

These conflicts can be resolved in the following three ways:

  1. Exclude the voucher from GST return.
  2. Mark the ledger as ‘GST not Applicable’.
  3. Change the voucher into a Purchase or Sales voucher, as applicable by adding Party details and tax ledgers.

To resolve the conflict:

Exclude the voucher from GST return

  1. Open the GSTR-3B report.
  2. Select Uncertain Transactions (Corrections needed) > Unable to Determine Transaction and press Enter. 
    gstr-3b-uncertain-transactions
  3. Select the voucher for which you wish to determine the original sales value and press Enter.
  4. In the Update the GST status screen, set Status of Returns as Excluded.
    gst-status-of-returns

Mark the ledger as GST not Applicable

Open the particular ledger in the alteration mode and set the GST applicability as Not Applicable.

  1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > Alter Master > type or select Ledger and press Enter.
    Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Alter > type or select Ledger and press Enter.
  2. Set the GST applicability as Not Applicable.
    ledger-gst-applicable

Change the voucher into a Purchase or Sale voucher

You can change the particular voucher into a Purchase or Sale by adding the necessary party details and tax ledgers.

  1. Open the GSTR-1 report.
  2. Select Uncertain Transactions (Corrections needed)> Unable to Determine Transaction and press Enter.
  3. Select the voucher you wish to change.
  4. Enter the party and duty details.
  5. Press Ctrl+A to save the voucher.
GST Rate Details are overridden in transaction GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B

This uncertainty is detected while passing a sales voucher if you have changed the Taxable value in the GST Rate and Related Details screen.

The GST rate details are prefilled based on stock items or ledgers, but TallyPrime allows you to change them during data entry. If you do, you will see a prompt to save the transaction with Conflict (Y: Accept), which can be verified later during return filing. If the change is intentional and no further review is needed, you can save the voucher by selecting O: Override.

As you try to save the voucher, a screen appears in the bottom right corner, as shown below:

If you press O (Override), the voucher will not come up in the GSTR-1 report under the uncertainties and will be listed under Included in Return.

If you press Y (Accept), you can accept the conflicts and resolve later.

To resolve the conflicts:

  1. Open the GSTR-1 report.
  2. Select Uncertain Transactions (Corrections needed).
  3. Drill down further and select GST Rate Details are overridden in transaction.
    gst-rate-details
  4. Drill down further to view the overridden value.
    A sample image of GST Rate and Related Details sub-form appears, as shown below:
    gst-rate-and-related-details
  5. Change the value, as per your preference and Accept.
  6. Select Ctrl+J (Accept As Is).

Now the voucher is listed under Included in Return. 
Unable to determine the Original Sales Value GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B

When a Credit Note is passed against an interstate B2C sale, information of original sale value is needed to determine the section to which the Credit Note belongs to (B2C Small Invoices or Credit or Debit Notes (Unregistered)).

If the value of sales is greater than 2.5 lakhs, the corresponding credit note is to be reported in Credit or Debit Notes (Unregistered) – 9B.

If the value of sales is less than or equal to 2.5 lakhs, the corresponding credit note is to be reported in B2C Small Invoices – 7.

Hence, while passing a credit note against interstate B2C sales, it is mandatory to provide the original sales value. You can press Ctrl+I (More Details) for additional details.

However, in case the same is not provided, it is detected as uncertain. 

To resolve the conflict:

  1. Open the GSTR-1 report.

    original-sales-invoice-value
  5. As always, you can press Ctrl A to save.

Now the voucher is listed under Included in Return in GSTR-3B report.

If you select Less Than or Equal to 2.5 Lakhs, then the voucher will be listed under B2C Small Invoices – 7. If you select More than 2.5 Lakhs, then the voucher will be listed under Credit or Debit Notes (Unregistered) – 9B.
