The tax department should permit businesses to correct accidental or legitimate errors in their GSTR-1 forms, the Bombay High Court stressed on Thursday, especially if the corrections do not incur any costs to the public coffers, stated a report in PTI. 

According to the report, the tax department was instructed by the court to recognise and accommodate such unintentional errors, particularly in cases where there is no apparent loss of government revenue, in an order authored by a division bench made up of Justices GS Kulkarni and Jitendra Jain.
