Removal of validation of 2% in Form GSTR-7
At the time of filing of Form GSTR-7, as of now, system checks if total amount deducted is 2% of the taxable value or not
This check in table 3 and 4 in Form GSTR-7 is removed now. TDS Deductor will be free to report any value under CGST, SGST or IGST columns. System will not check if the amount reported is 2% of the amount paid to the deductee or not and if the CGST and SGST are deducted equally or not. Same is implemented in offline utility also.
Population of data from EWB system into Form GSTR-1
