Like we can’t claim more than 110% of ITC of invoices uploaded by our suppliers. Entire data from Annex 1 and 2 will auto-populate in RET 01. You can make the final payment and file a GST return.
Amendments in GST new return
Annex 1 can be amended in the future. Annex 2 is auto-populated so amendments are not possible. An accepted invoice cant be amended. It is required to be unlocked by the recipient. Only then it can be amended by the supplier.
You will also be able to create the master. In this master, you can enter details of all your vendors and clients. It will help in the correct filing of return. But if there is a mistake it will be hard to rectify in case of wrong acceptance by the recipient.
