🟥🔥GST CHANGES in BUDGET 2026-27

[CA Ruchita Vaghani @R_N_Vaghani]

🚨GSTN Breaking

BIG changes in GSTR-3B from Jan-2026

1. Interest calculation changed (Rule 88B benefit): -
➡️From Jan-2026 onwards, GST portal will compute interest in Table 5.1 of GSTR-3B by giving credit for the minimum cash balance in Electronic Cash Ledger (ECL) from due date till actual payment.
👉 Relief for taxpayers who had balance lying idle.

2. New Interest Formula: -
📌 Interest =
(Net Tax Liability – Minimum Cash Balance in ECL)
× (Delay days / 365) × Applicable rate
➡️This aligns with proviso to Section 50 of CGST Act.

3. Auto-computed interest = minimum payable: -
⚠️ Interest auto-populated in GSTR-3B will be:
❌ Not editable downward
✅ Can be edited upward if actual liability is higher
👉 Self-assessment responsibility still on taxpayer.

4. Auto-population starts Feb-2026: -
➡️Interest for delayed Jan-2026 return will be auto-populated in Feb-2026 GSTR-3B.
➡️Plan your cash flow accordingly.

5. Tax Liability Breakup Table – Now Auto-filled: -
➡️From Jan-2026, GST portal will auto-populate Tax Liability Breakup Table based on:
📄 Invoice dates in
GSTR-1 / GSTR-1A / IFF
(for past period supplies paid in current GSTR-3B)

6. Important clarification: -
🔹 Auto-populated figures are suggestive only
🔹 Taxpayer can increase values upward based on own records
📍Path:
Login → GSTR-3B → Table 6.1 → Tax Liability Breakup

7. Major ITC cross-utilisation update: -
➡️Once IGST ITC is fully exhausted, portal will allow payment of IGST liability using CGST & SGST ITC in ANY order.
👉 More flexibility = better working capital management.

8. Interest recovery through GSTR-10: -
➡️For cancelled GST registrations:
➡️If last GSTR-3B is filed late, interest will be levied & collected via GSTR-10 (Final Return).

9. Why this matters?: -
✔️ Fair interest calculation
✔️ Reduced litigation
✔️ Better system-driven compliance
✔️ Alignment with law & court rulings

🔖 GST Tip:
Auto-population ≠ Final liability.
Always reconcile + self-assess before filing.

Surprise as Two Senior 1994-Batch Odisha IPS Officers Miss Out on DGP Promotions

It came as a surprise in official and policing circles that two senior 1994-batch Odisha cadre IPS officers--Sanjeeb Panda and Yeshwant Jethwa--were not promoted to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP) when the State Government cleared promotions for 16 other IPS officers.

What has added to the surprise is the fact that 1994-batch officers have already been elevated to the DGP rank in several other states. In Telangana, for instance, IPS officers of the 1994 batch have been promoted to the DGP level since August 2024, as per official notifications, setting a precedent followed elsewhere.

Both officers currently hold crucial and sensitive assignments in Odisha.

@panda_sanjeeb, who is serving as Additional Director General in charge of anti-Maoist operations, has handled some of the most challenging internal security responsibilities in the state. Earlier, as Police Commissioner, he played a key role in maintaining law and order and managing complex policing situations, earning a reputation for firm and effective leadership.

Yeshwant Jethwa, presently the Director of Vigilance, has a distinguished career marked by exposure at both state and national levels. He earlier served as Additional DGP (Law and Order) and was Inspector General in the Special Protection Group (SPG) attached to the PMO between 2015 and 2020, a role that required the highest standards of professionalism and trust.

Given their seniority, experience, and track record, the exclusion of Sri Panda and Sri Jethwa from the current round of DGP promotions has sparked quiet discussions within the administrative and police establishment.
