Earlier, there was no option to edit or correct the information entered in GSTR-3B if the status showed "SUBMITTED." The only action available after the submitted status of GSTR-3B was to file it with the primary authorized signatory. This is the article about Reset GSTR 3B status from submitted to Yet to be filed.
INTRODUCTION:
Form GSTR 3B is a GST summary return that is to be filed monthly or quarterly by the taxpayers to declare and discharge their tax liabilities. Taxpayers provide their outward supply details and inward supplies for the period within the specified sections provided.
Taxpayers were facing issues with their mistakes and errors noticed just after submitting their GSTR 3B return but not filing it. There was only one option available: “Proceed to File.”.
