GSTR-3B once filed, cannot be revised. However, the Central Board of Indirect Tax and Customs has enabled the ‘RESET’ option for GSTR-3B. This option will be activated once GSTR-3B is submitted. That means, the taxpayers have an option to reset their GSTR-3B after they have submitted it but before it is filed.
Note: GSTR-3B is a summary return. The details of total outward supplies (sales) and total inward supplies (purchases) made during a month are to be disclosed in this return. As mentioned above, this return once filed cannot be revised.
Features Of ‘Reset GSTR-3B’ Option
- This feature can be utilised when the GSTR-3B is submitted but not filed.

- When this option is selected, all the entries posted in the electronic liability register are deleted. Furthermore, ITC reflecting in the electronic credit ledger will be reversed.
- The option to rest GSTR-3B can be exercised only once,
