GSTR-4A is an auto-generated read-only summary for a composition taxpayer to view all inward supplies details from the supplier. The Composition dealer cannot take any action in Form GSTR-4A. This form GSTR-4A is only for the view. Action can be taken only in Form GSTR-4. All details available in Form GSTR-4A will be available in Form GSTR-4 as well, to the composition dealer.
As no auto-population of data from Form GSTR-1/5 is happening in Form GSTR-4 at present; the taxpayer is not required to take any action in Form GSTR-4 for such details. Form GSTR 4A may be used as a reference to enter invoices in Table 4A, 4B, 5A (Amendments), 5B (Credit/Debit notes) and 5C (Credit/Debit notes amendments) of Form GSTR-4.
Because the Form GSTR-4A is an auto-drafted and read-only form and is auto-created on basis of data from the saved/submitted/filed Form GSTR-1/5 and filed Form GSTR-7 of the taxpayers, where composition dealer is the recipient.
