Problems while setting off liabilities in GSTR3B

I have paid the CGST and SGST for Sept 17. Also I paid late fees due to late filing of GSTR3B for Aug 17. However while setting off liabilities in GSTR3B , I am getting error advising to check the availability of balance (which is already there). As a result I cannot file GSTR3B for Sept 17. I am unable to understand the reason for error as I have paid the required taxes including late fees. I am worried as the last date for filing of GSTR3B for Sept 17is couple of days away. Again the late fees will start accumulating.
How I can get my problem resolved ?.....Thanks Shrikant Kulkarni more

Dear Srikant, There are two columns namely Interest and Late Fee. If you have paid the challan under Interest instead of Late Fee. System will not accept unless you pay the late fee.Hope it helps more  
Dear Shrikant 1. Please use Internet Explorer and try. 2.When you are trying to set off IGST with IGST ITC,the available ITC balance will be displayed. Use only that amount or less Then if IGST balance is further due then click CGCT ITC,it aklso displays balance available.Use that balance or less and so on.. If you have IGST CGST or SGST liability on account of RCM it has to be remitted in CASH.NO set off available. TRY. ALL the best more  
Thanks for your response. more  
GSTR 3B is just a supplementary return meant to collect the revenue on time by the government. Afterwards GSTR 3B will get superseded by GSTR 1,2 and 3. The uploading of data for GSTR 1 has already started and we can amend or delete the details already uploaded in GSTR 3B. The best possible solution is do not file GSTR-3B and carry on as usual filing GSTR-1,2 and 3 and let us wait and see. more

You have to submitt late fees saperately in your cash ledger under head "fees".Both for SGST and CGST.Have you done this ? more  
Dear Mr. Kulkarni, Your problem is faced by many people who are yet to fully understand the return filing system and the tax liability payment process. I would suggest that you should first download all the three ledgers for the concerned month i.e. Electronic Cash Ledger, Electronic Credit ledger and Electronic Liability Register. This will give you a clear idea about your liabilities, cash balance in your account and the ITC credit in your account. After this, I suggest that you should either write down all the details on a piece of paper or use MS Excel to calculate as to how you can set off the liabilities using the ITC balance and the cash lying in your ledger. There are certain rules for utilisng ITC to set off your tax liability as given below : - IGST credit - Can be used to setoff IGST, CGST & SGST liability in that order - CGST credit - Can be used to setoff CGST & IGST liability in that order - SGST credit - Can be used to setoff SGST & IGST liability in that order Once you have utilised your ITC credit as given above, you can use the cash lying in your electronic cash register to pay any balance liability. If required, you can transfer cash to make up any shortfall. Please ensure that you enter the amount of ITC or the cash amount to be utilised in the correct boxes. If you enter in the incorrect boxes you will get error messages. That's why it's better to calculate with pen and paper and prepare a table beforehand. Hope this helps. more
