Now, all details including the current balance of ITC, the current balance of cash, tax liability by type, and suggested methods for using ITC will be shown in a single table view before submission. This change makes it simpler for taxpayers to monitor their ITC, calculate outstanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/t\/taxliability.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tax liabilities<\/a>, and decide how much tax they need to pay in cash or credit before finalising the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Challan Generation Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, taxpayers had to manually enter the amount of input tax credit to use and the cash payment needed, then generate a challan.

Once they adjust the ITC utilisation, the required payment amount automatically updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It allows for an auto-generation of the tax payment challan by simply clicking a button, after performing the adjustment for Input Tax Credit in the credit ledger. This change eliminates the risk of taxpayers entering incorrect tax amounts or selecting the wrong tax category when manually filling out the challan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bottom Line&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing the<strong> GSTR-3B due date <\/strong>can lead to penalties, so it is important to file it within the time limit.

This includes businesses with an annual turnover exceeding \u20b95 crore. Smaller taxpayers, with an annual turnover of up to \u20b95 crore, have the option to file quarterly under the QRMP scheme but must still pay taxes monthly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1719579159241\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the maximum late fee for GSTR 3B?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The maximum late fee for GSTR 3B is \u20b95,000 per return for both CGST and SGST\/UTGST, making the total late fee \u20b910,000 per return.
