- Choose the month and press Make GSTR-3B.
- Read the problems and warnings, then download the file.
- On gst.gov.in open the return for that month and upload the file with Prepare offline.
What the tables hold
- Outward supplies and tax on them, split into IGST, CGST, SGST and cess
- Supplies that are nil-rated, exempt or taxed under reverse charge
- Supplies to unregistered customers, by state
- Input tax credit you can claim, credit you must reverse, and credit you cannot claim
