Orissa High Court allowed rectification of GSTR-1 return filed for the period September 2017 and March 2018.

 Assessee in the present case had inadvertently reported supplies to a particular recipient as B2C supplies instead of B2B in its GSTR-1 return. This error resulted in recipient holding up the running bill amount of the assessee.


Assessee requested Revenue to permit it to correct its GSTR-1 return, but the same was rejected on the ground that the timeline to apply for rectification was over. Aggrieved, assessee filed a writ petition before the Orissa HC.

These bonds are therefore, also known as ‘Discount Bonds’. For example: - Suppose Face Value of the bond is Rs. 150 to be matured after 5 years. It is issued at Rs. 100.
