In table 5.1 of #GSTR-3B, Wrongly excessively auto-populated interest amount for January 2026 delayed payment is non-editable. In fact there should not be any interest liability under head SGST as whole of the SGST liability was paid on or before due date i.e. 20th Feb 2026.
🚨Alert! GST portal wrongly charges interest under Section 50 on cash payments made to the ledger BEFORE GSTR-3B due date. Table 5.1 of GSTR-3B auto-populates this excess amount and blocks editing—pure glitch! Despite GSTN’s 19th Feb 2026 advisory promising fixing this computation issue from January 26 month, February 2026 returns still calculate interest on TOTAL cash (pre + post due date), not just delayed portion. Who’s accountable—@GSTN_IT, CBIC, or GST Council? Have you observed this over recovery of interest issue? Try to calculate interest wherein RTP paid cash liabilities on or before due date. Is refunds possible via RFD-01, but expect delays, document scrutiny. Not smooth. In our opinion, Interest should apply ONLY to post-due date delays since GST began (1.7.2017), not from 2024 Rule 88B proviso.
