Difference in liability declared and paid report

This is a report to represent the quantum of liability auto-populated from GSTR-1 /IFF and declared /paid in GSTR-3B. In case, any payment is made through Form GST DRC-03 with the Cause of payment as Liability mismatch – GSTR-1 to GSTR-3B, then such payment(s) are also treated as payment towards liability and the percentage of liability paid is updated accordingly for a tax period. The liability paid percentage is displayed for a particular period when both GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for the month /quarter are filed and GSTR-2B is generated.

This report is prepared as an indicator of the compliance behaviour of the taxpayer.
