GSTN defers Hard-locking of auto-populated liability in GSTR-3B

In October 2024, GSTN issued an advisory that from January 2025 tax period, the GST Portal is going to restrict making changes in auto-populated liability in pre-filled GSTR-3B from GSTR-1/1A/IFF to further enhance accuracy in return filing. It was suggested that in case any change is required in auto-populated liability, the same may be handled through GSTR-1A.

However, today GSTN has issued a fresh advisory regarding the proposed restricting the editing of auto-populated liability in GSTR-3B from the January 2025 tax period.

The advisory sys that in view of the requests received from the trade seeking time for the same. Therefore, the decision of making non-editable of auto-populated liability in GSTR-3B is currently not being implemented from January tax period, on the GST Portal.

It has been further stated that the above change will be introduced soon and trade will be informed accordingly. Taxpayers are encouraged to prepare for the said change.
