How do I fix a TCS mismatch? (Rectify, with examples)

1. Expand the flagged platform. Each problem state carries a label and a Rectify button. Two things can be wrong:

   

2. Example 1 - "Missing in your files." The portal shows Amazon sold ₹2,200 in Rajasthan, but your files show ₹0 for that state. Usual cause: an incomplete or missing report file. If re-checking the upload doesn't explain it, rectify.

3. Example 2 - "Value mismatch." Your files show ₹39,900 for Maharashtra but the portal says ₹43,400 - a ₹3,500 gap, often returns netted differently or orders missing from one report.

4. Click Rectify - the modal opens pre-filled with the exact gap. Pick the GST rate the sales were taxed at (HSN and quantity are optional, you can fill them later), then Save entry.

   

5. The entry is added to this month's GSTR-1 - Tables 7, 12 and 14 update together, and the downloaded JSON carries it. Changed your mind? Remove the entry any time to undo exactly.

6. After rectifying, the state shows as Rectified and the platform's difference closes. Re-run the Validate step afterwards - the TCS statement cross-checks (V4.8/V4.9) confirm everything now ties.

⚠️ Only rectify gaps where the PORTAL shows more than your files. The other direction (your files higher - a green surplus) needs no rectification: platforms that don't collect TCS legitimately have no portal entry.
