Check the GSTR-3B summary

Where Sidebar › Compliance › GSTR-3B Summary

Computes the firm's full GSTR-3B summary for a chosen period from booked sales, purchases and expenses. Almost every cell is derived from the books; the handful that the books cannot derive are auditor-editable, and you review the whole thing here before filing.

First
Most of this return is not editable, by design. A figure that looks wrong on this page is almost always corrected at the sale, purchase or expense it came from — not here. The exceptions are named in ITC, interest and payment of tax below.

Return period and the headline

From Month and To Month set the period the whole computed return covers. Every table below reflects only that range.

  1. Pick a month in From Month and in To Month.
  2. To Month cannot be set earlier than From Month — the picker enforces it.
Note
Generate 3B JSON only works for a single month (From = To). Use Export CSV for a multi-month range.

Tax payable in cash headlines the net cash payable for the period, broken into Output tax, ITC set-off, and Interest / Late fee, plus the IGST / CGST / SGST / Cess split.

  1. Look at the headline figure first — it is the number you actually pay.
  2. The same card breaks it into IGST / CGST / SGST / Cess. The tables further down show how each of those is built.

Checking against the portal

Import portal 3B JSON loads a GSTR-3B JSON you have already filed on the portal and compares it against what Quillix computed from your books.

  1. Click Import portal 3B JSON and choose the file from your computer.
  2. A Books vs portal JSON card appears above the tables, flagging any line that disagrees by ₹1 or more.
  3. Clear comparison removes that card again. It only appears once a portal file is loaded.
Careful
The comparison covers 3.1(a), 3.1(d) and the ITC lines — 4(A)(5), 4(A) total and 4(C). It is not every table in the return, so a clean card is not a clean return.

Getting the return out

Generate 3B JSON
A GSTN-format JSON, named with the store's GSTIN and period. Single month only — if From and To differ, Quillix asks you to pick one month instead of generating.
Export CSV
Every table, 3.1 through 6.1, as a CSV. Works for a multi-month range as well as a single month.

Outward supplies — 3.1 and 3.2

3.1 — Outward supplies and inward supplies liable to reverse charge

Splits the period into five lines, all computed from your booked sales and purchases: (a) regular taxable, (b) zero-rated exports / SEZ / deemed exports, (c) nil-rated and exempt, (d) inward reverse-charge, and (e) non-GST outward.

  1. Open the section and review the five lines, (a) through (e).
  2. Every cell here is computed from your books. None of it is editable.

3.2 — Of the supplies in 3.1(a), inter-state to unregistered / composition / UIN

Breaks the inter-state portion of 3.1(a) down by place of supply, for unregistered persons, composition taxpayers and UIN holders.

  1. Open the section and review the place-of-supply breakdown.
  2. It is a sub-set of 3.1(a), shown for information only — it does not add to the return's totals on its own.

ITC, interest and payment of tax

4 — Eligible ITC

Computes ITC available, reversed and net across imports, reverse charge, ISD and Sec 17(5) blocked credit, ending in Net ITC (C) and Ineligible ITC (D)(1).

  1. Type figures into the highlighted cells — imports of goods and services, ISD, and other ITC reversals.
  2. Everything else in the table computes from the books and from each purchase line's ITC classification.
Careful
Blocked ITC under Sec 17(5) is claimed gross in 4(A)(5) and reversed in 4(B)(1), per CBIC Circular 170. Do not net it out yourself.

5 — Values of exempt, nil-rated and non-GST inward supplies

Totals the taxable value of exempt, nil-rated and non-GST purchases for the period, split inter-state against intra-state. Review both rows — both are fully computed from your books and nothing here is editable.

5.1 — Interest and late fee

Captures interest under Sec 50 and any late fee for the period, per tax head, added into the 6.1 cash payable.

  1. Type the interest amount into whichever tax-head cells apply.
  2. Do the same for late fee — its cells feed straight into the 6.1 cash payable.
Note
Late fee only has CGST and SGST cells. There is no IGST or Cess late fee under the Act.

6.1 — Payment of tax

Shows how each tax head's liability is set off against available ITC and what is left to pay in cash, plus interest and late fee per head. One row per tax head, fully computed from the tables above — including whatever you typed into 4 and 5.1.

Note
ITC set-off follows Rule 88A: IGST credit clears IGST, then CGST, then SGST; CGST and SGST credit each clear their own head first, then IGST.

Common questions

Is GSTR-3B computed or typed in?
Computed from the books. Only the handful of cells that cannot be derived — the typed figures in table 4 and table 5.1 — are auditor fields; everything else on the page is calculated and editable by nobody.
