The GST Council is considering introducing a new form, GSTR-1A, to allow taxpayers to amend and declare additional details in their previously filed GSTR-1 returns, which is expected to enhance accuracy, transparency, and compliance in the GST filing process.
The implementation of GSTR-1A is expected to facilitate the locking of GSTR-3B, a monthly summary return. The locking mechanism will ensure that the data in GSTR-3B is consistent with that in GSTR-1, reducing the potential for mismatches and subsequent disputes.
The GST Council’s upcoming meeting will discuss the specifics of GSTR-1A and its implementation timeline. If approved, the new form could be rolled out in the upcoming fiscal quarter, providing businesses with a chance to amend and declare their GST return. Tax experts have welcomed the proposed introduction, highlighting its potential to simplify the amendment process and improve the overall reliability of GST returns.
