Hello John,
I understand that you're encountering an error while uploading your PTRC file for the monthly returns of June 2023. The error message suggests that there's a discrepancy between the 'period key' in your file and on the portal.
➡️ Here is what you can do:
1. 🔍 Check the 'period key' in your file: Ensure that the 'period key' in your file corresponds to June 2023. It seems like the 'period key' in your file is currently set to April 2023 (2304), which is causing the error.
2. 🔄 Update the 'period key': If the 'period key' in your file is incorrect, you need to update it to match the period for which you're filing the returns (June 2023).
3. 🔄 Update the 'payment month': You also mentioned that the payment was made in November 2023 for the month of June 2023. If the 'payment month' in your file is set to November 2023, you might need to change this to June 2023 as well.
4. 🛂 Save and re-upload the file: After making the above changes, save your file and try to upload it again on the portal.
Remember, the 'period key' and 'payment month' should correspond to the month for which the returns are being filed, not the month in which the payment was made.
🛶 If you continue to encounter this issue after making these changes, I recommend reaching out to the Maharashtra Sales Tax Department's helpdesk for further assistance.
🚦 For future reference, you may want to consult the Maharashtra Professional Tax Act, 1975, and the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings, and Employments Rules, 1975 for detailed guidelines on filing returns.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
