GST Return Filing

Most regular taxpayers file GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (summary and tax payment) each tax period — monthly, or quarterly under the QRMP scheme. Annual return GSTR-9 applies above the turnover threshold.

Monthly GSTR-1 is due on the 11th (section 37(1) says the 10th; Notification 83/2020-Central Tax extends it to the 11th) and monthly GSTR-3B on the 20th under Rule 61(1)(i) — uniformly, with no State variation. QRMP filers file GSTR-1 by the 13th after the quarter and GSTR-3B by the 22nd or 24th depending on the State of their principal place of business, under the Table in Rule 61(1)(ii), and pay monthly in PMT-06 by the 25th. Dates are routinely extended by notification, so we confirm the current calendar for your GSTIN each period.

No, and this is a common mix-up. The 22nd and 24th dates apply only to quarterly QRMP filers, split by State group under Rule 61(1)(ii). If you file monthly, your GSTR-3B date is the 20th wherever you are. The old staggering of monthly GSTR-3B by State lived in the provisos to Rule 61(6) and was limited to the October 2020 to March 2021 periods.

The proviso to Rule 59(1) lets you amend or add details already furnished in GSTR-1 for a period — at your option, in FORM GSTR-1A — but only after filing GSTR-1 and before filing GSTR-3B for that same period. It is the cleanest way to fix a wrong customer GSTIN or a missed B2B invoice before the error reaches your buyer's GSTR-2B. Once GSTR-3B is filed for the period, the correction moves to the amendment tables of a later GSTR-1.

Only if you do not use the invoice furnishing facility. Rule 59(2) lets a quarterly filer report B2B outward supplies for the first and second months of a quarter, up to a cumulative ₹50 lakh in each month, using the IFF from the 1st to the 13th of the following month — and Rule 59(3) means those invoices are not repeated in the quarterly GSTR-1. If your customers care about the timing of their credit, we use the IFF; if you sell mostly B2C, it is unnecessary.

Generally no. Sections 37(5), 39(11) and 44(2) bar furnishing outward-supply details, a return, or an annual return after three years from the due date, commenced by Notification 28/2023-Central Tax from 1 October 2023. Each carries a proviso allowing the Government to permit late filing by notification, but that is not something to plan on. If you have periods approaching three years old, tell us at the outset — those come first.

Yes. A nil return is still mandatory for an active GSTIN. Skipping it blocks the next period's filing and attracts late fees.

₹50 per day combined CGST and SGST for a normal return, ₹20 per day for a nil return, under section 47 as reduced by notification. The cap on the total fee for that return is ₹500 for a nil return at any turnover, ₹2,000 where aggregate turnover in the preceding year was up to ₹1.5 crore, ₹5,000 above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹5 crore, and ₹10,000 above ₹5 crore. On top of that sits interest at 18% per annum under section 50 on tax paid late, which is not capped. These are statutory government amounts, not our charge — the GST late fee calculator works out yours.

GSTR-2B is an auto-drafted statement of the input tax credit available to you based on your suppliers' filings. We reconcile your purchases against it so you only claim eligible ITC and chase suppliers for anything missing.

Generally, ITC should match GSTR-2B. Claiming credit not reflected there is risky and a common trigger for notices. We flag mismatches and help you resolve them with the vendor.

Quarterly Return Monthly Payment, notified by Notification 84/2020-Central Tax for registered persons with aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore in the preceding financial year who opt in under Rule 61A. You file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly but still pay tax every month in FORM GST PMT-06 by the 25th for the first two months of the quarter. Be clear about what it saves: it halves the filing workload and changes nothing about how often money leaves the business. The option window under Rule 61A(1) runs from the first day of the second month of the preceding quarter to the last day of the first month of the quarter — miss it and you carry your current cadence another quarter. We manage both the monthly payments and the quarterly returns.

You move to monthly filing, and it is not optional. Paragraph 2 of Notification 84/2020-Central Tax makes you ineligible for quarterly filing from the first month of the quarter succeeding the one in which turnover crossed ₹5 crore, and Rule 61A(2) independently requires the move from the first month of the quarter succeeding the one in which turnover exceeded ₹5 crore in the current financial year. We track the threshold so the switch is planned rather than discovered.

Yes. Your portal tracks every GSTIN's calendar and we remind you well before each due date, so nothing is missed.

Yes. We handle multi-GSTIN and multi-state filing; pricing is quoted on combined volume under the Business plan.

We bring you back into compliance by filing the pending periods in sequence — sections 37(4) and 39(10) leave no other order — computing the late fee and interest for each, and then keeping you current. Three things we check first: whether any period is close to the three-year bar in sections 37(5) and 39(11), whether the GSTIN has been suspended under Rule 21A (in which case you may not make taxable supplies until it is resolved), and whether a GSTR-3A or cancellation show-cause is already running against you, because those carry their own deadlines and are handled as a GST notice reply.

No. We prepare and review your returns and file them through the official GST portal workflow with your authenticated access. We don't claim any private API or any route that bypasses the government's systems.

Where they apply to you, our reviewers check e-invoice and e-way bill data as part of the return process, and we offer dedicated support for both.

Yes. Share your past filed returns and current data; we'll reconcile the opening position and take over seamlessly.

Filed GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B with ARNs, a GSTR-2B reconciliation, the tax payment challan record, and a clean monthly entry in your portal.

No. Our fee is purely the professional fee. Any statutory late fee or interest is computed transparently and paid by you directly to the government.

Tell us your GSTIN and monthly volume, share your data, and we'll set up your filing calendar and file the current period before its due date.
