Allahabad HC orders to File fresh representation before GST authorities to rectify GSTR1 mistakes
Fact of the case
The petitioner is that certain mistakes have crept in at the time of filing the GSTR-1 in Form B2B, due to which the invoice had been reflected in column B2Chf though the petitioner had paid all taxes as and when they were due. Submission, thus, is that the correction in the form uploaded by the petitioner while filing return in GSTR-1 can be corrected at the ends of the respondents. A representation in this regard had been made on 16.9.2020 but no action has been taken as yet.
Observation of the Court

It is further submitted that the grievances of the petitioner, if any, can be met by the Commissioner, CGST & Central Excise Jhansi Division, Jhansi who has not been approached so far.
Learned counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, states that the petitioner may file a fresh representation before the Commissioner, CGST and Central Excise Jhansi Division Jhansi with the appropriate prayer.
In view of the above submissions, without entering into the merits of the claim of the petitioner, the present petition is being disposed of with a direction that the petitioner may file a fresh representation raising all his grievances before the competent authority which according to Sri Dhananjay Awasthi learned Advocate is Commissioner, CGST & Central Excise Jhansi Division, Jhansi.
