1. Why Would You Exclude an Invoice from GSTR-3B in TallyPrime?

Here are some common reasons:

The invoice is entered by mistake but not yet deleted
You want to defer the GST filing of the invoice to a future period
The invoice was already filed in an earlier return
A non-GST transaction was wrongly tagged as taxable

Instead of deleting the voucher, you can exclude it from the GSTR-3B report using TallyPrime’s built-in options.

Step 1: Open the GSTR-3B Report

Step 2: Drill Down to the Invoice

Navigate to the section where the invoice is showing
For example, B2B Invoices, Tax on Outward Supplies, etc.
Use arrow keys to select the invoice and press Enter
