Review GSTR-3B loaded from the GST portal, set off your tax and file with an OTP
SmartLedger loads the month's GSTR-3B draft from the GST portal, lets you review each table, then saves it, sets off your liability against ITC and the cash ledger, and files with an EVC OTP. There is no JSON file to download or upload.
Know what's due and what it will cost
The GSTR-3B overview shows the next return due with an estimate of the cash to pay, and every month's status for the year.
- Month chips read FILED, DUE, AFTER GSTR-1, IN DRAFT or OVERDUE
- A month waits for its GSTR-1, because GSTN fills GSTR-3B's liability from it
- + New Filing defaults to last month and opens a Regular or Nil return
- Continue Filing picks up a draft where you left it
Check every table loaded from the portal
Review the draft saved on the GST portal table by table, correct figures where needed, and tick the CA review checkpoints before moving on.
- Tables 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.2, 4, 5 and 5.1, from outward supplies to interest and late fee
- Table 3.2 inter-state supplies comes read-only from GSTR-1
- Four CA review checkpoints cover sales, ITC against GSTR-2B, ledgers and Rule 86B
- A nil return skips straight to filing
