GST Return Validator

⚡ In shortValidate your GSTR-3B figures before you file — the tool checks that output tax, input tax credit and cash payment reconcile, and flags any short payment that would attract interest. Free, deterministic, instant. Enter your total output tax, input tax credit (ITC) and cash paid. The validator computes the net liability (output tax minus eligible ITC) and confirms your cash payment matches it. It flags a short payment (which attracts 18% interest under Section 50) and warns if ITC exceeds output tax (the excess carries forward). It does not file for you — it catches mistakes before you do.
