How to download GSTR 3B Annual summary

While the GST portal doesn’t offer a direct “annual summary” of GSTR-3B, you can compile the information yourself by downloading the individual GSTR-3B returns for each month of the financial year. Here’s how:

1. Access the GST Portal:

• Go to the GST portal (www.gst.gov.in) and log in using your credentials.¹

2. Navigate to Returns Dashboard:

• Go to Services > Returns > Returns Dashboard.²

3. Select the Financial Year:

• Choose the financial year for which you need the GSTR-3B data.

4. Download Monthly GSTR-3B Returns:

• Select the relevant month and click “Search.”
• You’ll see a tile for GSTR-3B.³ Click the “DOWNLOAD” button to download the return for that month.
• Repeat this for each month of the financial year.

5. Compile the Data:

• You can now compile the data from all the downloaded GSTR-3B returns into a spreadsheet or use accounting software to generate an annual summary.

Alternative Method (using ClearTax):

ClearTax provides a feature to download a multi-month GSTR-3B filed report.⁴ Here’s how:

1. Login to ClearTax GST: Go to the ClearTax GST portal and log in.
2. Navigate to Reports: Select ‘Business’ –> Click on ‘Reports’ –> Select ‘All Reports’.
3. Select Multi-month GSTR-3B Filed Report: Choose ‘Multi-month GSTR-3B Filed Report’ & Click on ‘View’.
4. Select the Return Period: Select the ‘Return period’ and click on ‘Download data from GSTN’ to pull data from GSTN.
5. Download the Report: You can download the report in excel format by clicking on ‘Export Report as excel’.

This report can help you get summary data for easy comparison with your books of accounts and GST annual return.

Remember that this ClearTax feature requires you to have your GST returns filed through their platform.
