How to View Form GSTR-6A
How can I view the auto-drafted details in GSTR-6A?
GSTR-6A is a read only form. Taxpayer cannot take any action in GSTR-6A. GSTR-6A for a particular tax period changes based on the details uploaded by the counter party supplier till ISD taxpayer submits the GSTR-6 for the same tax period.
GSTR-6A will be generated in below scenarios,
- When the supplier uploads the B2B transaction details in GSTR-1& 5
- If supplier submits the return before receiver submits his GSTR-6, then supplier’s B2B details will be auto-populated in GSTR-6A of the Current tax period
- If supplier submits the return after receiver submits his GSTR-6, then supplier’s B2B details will be auto-populated in the GSTR-6A of the next tax period
- Where ISD taxpayer has not submitted his GSTR-6 and supplier has already submitted his GSTR-1, in such a case GSTR-1/5 data will be auto-populated to the corresponding tax period’s GSTR-6A or open tax period GSTR-6A whichever is later.
- If the B2B details in GSTR-6 has been rolled over to next tax period, then that will be part of GSTR-6 of next tax period. It will be not part of GSTR-6A of next tax period.
