Locking of GSTR-3B Data: GSTN issues another Significant Advisory for Taxpayers

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has today, May 16, 2025, issued a significant advisory to inform all taxpayers about the recent amendment made to Table 3.2 of Form GSTR-3B.

These key amendments are as follows:

According to the advisory issued earlier on April 11, 2025, that stated earlier the values autofilled in Table 3.2 will not be made non-editable from the tax period of April 2025 (i.e., for the return to be filed in May 2025).

However, after this announcement, GSTN received several complaints and representations from taxpayers stating that the auto-filled data may not always be accurate and may require adjustments.

Taking this feedback into consideration, and in the interest of making the return filing process smoother and more convenient, GSTN has decided to keep Table 3.2 editable for now. This means that taxpayers can continue to review and make changes to the auto-populated values in this section while filing their GSTR-3B returns. All taxpayers are advised to carefully verify the details in Table 3.2, make any corrections if necessary, and ensure that the information provided in the return is complete and accurate.

Please note that this is a temporary arrangement. Once a final decision is made and the proposed changes are ready to be implemented on the GST Portal, taxpayers will be informed through a separate official communication. In the meantime, taxpayers are encouraged to stay updated by regularly checking the GST portal for any further announcements.
