Mehul Enterprises, registered under GST in Uttar Pradesh and a monthly return filer, is engaged in making taxable supplies of goods and services. It furnished the details of its outward supplies in Form GSTR-1 for the month of January on 11th February. However, on 14th February, the accountant of Mehul Enterprises noticed that one invoice issued to Vaishali Traders (registered in Gujarat) for supply of goods of value of 1,00,000 (taxable @ 18%) pertaining to January has been inadvertently missed to be declared in Form GSTR-1 furnished for January. He has approached you for the advice before furnishing Form GSTR-3B for the said month. You are required to briefly discuss whether Mehul Enterprises can amend the details of outward supply furnished in Form GSTR-1 of January. If such amendment is permitted and details of Form GSTR-1 are amended, whether the details of said invoice will be available in Form GSTR-2B of Vaishali Traders for the month of January.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

As per proviso to rule 59 (1) , a registered person may, after furnishing the details of outward supplies of goods or services or both in Form GSTR-1 for a tax period but before filing of return in Form GSTR-3B for the said tax period, at his own option, amend or furnish additional details of outward supplies of goods or services or both in Form GSTR-1A for the said tax period. Thus, Mehul Enterprises has the option to furnish the details of the invoice issued to Vaishali Traders in Form GSTR-1A on or after 14th February but before filing Form GSTR-3B for January. The corresponding effect of the changes made through Form GSTR-1A on the liability of Mehul Enterprises shall be reflected in Form GSTR-3B for January. Further, rule 60 (7) (iia) provides that the additional details or amendments in details of outward supplies furnished by the supplier in Form GSTR-1A filed after the due date of furnishing of Form GSTR-1 for the previous tax period shall be reflected in Form GSTR-2B for the current tax period. This implies that the ITC for the supplies declared or amended by the suppliers through Form GSTR-1A will be available to the recipient in Form GSTR-2B generated for the next tax period. Thus, the details of missing invoice of Vaishali Traders will be available in its Form GSTR-2B for the month of February.
