DRC-01B Form Submission for Variation of GSTR 1 and 3B

Jayendra [Admin]

DRC 01B under GST is an intimation of difference in Tax liability to the taxpayer. Thus, DRC 01B will consist of the difference in Tax liability reported in GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B returns. The GSTN has made now it mandatory to submit the information online in case there is a difference between the tax liability reported in GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B returns. The taxpayer will not be able to file the next GSTR 1 return if he/she has did file the DRC 01 intimation for the previous period.

There may be various reasons from the taxpayer’s end for reporting the tax liability, which may differ from GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B declaration. Thus, it does not mean that both returns’ liabilities must match. Thus, now GSTN wants the reason from the taxpayer as to why there is a difference between these two reasons.
