Accurate GSTR-1 Filing Now Critical as Table 3.2 of GSTR-3B Becomes Auto-Filled and Non-Editable from July 2025
From July 2025 onwards, Table 3.2 of GSTR-3B (for reporting outward inter-State sales to unregistered persons, composition dealers, and UIN holders) will be auto-filled by the GST system and cannot be edited. Errors must be corrected through GSTR-1, GSTR-1A (after GSTR-1 but before GSTR-3B), or IFF in later months. Accurate GSTR-1 filing is crucial to avoid issues with auto-filled data in GSTR-3B.

Form SPL-07: Appeals Against Waiver Rejections Now Enabled on GST Portal; No Option to Withdraw After Filing
Taxpayers can now file an appeal on the GST portal against waiver rejections (SPL-07) by selecting “Appeal to Appellate Authority” under My Application and choosing “Waiver Application Rejection Order” in the form. Once filed, the appeal cannot be withdrawn, so filing should be made carefully. If you prefer to restore a previously withdrawn appeal (filed against the original demand), you can do so by submitting an undertaking under the “Orders” section in the “Waiver Application” folder. For technical issues, contact the GST Helpdesk.

Taxpayers to Get Alerts and Dashboard Control Over ASP Data Access via OTP-Based Consent
To improve data security and give more control to taxpayers, GSTN will soon introduce new features for monitoring access given to Application Suvidha Providers (ASPs) through GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs). Taxpayers will receive email and SMS alerts each time OTP-based consent is given to an ASP, with details like the ASP and GSP name, date, time, and validity of the consent. Additionally, the GST portal will allow taxpayers to view both current and past data access and also revoke any active consent directly from their dashboard. The exact rollout dates will be announced through future advisories.
