Overview
Every GST-registered business files returns, even in months with no sales. A regular taxpayer reports outward supplies in GSTR-1 and pays tax and claims input tax credit through the summary return GSTR-3B. Small taxpayers with turnover up to ₹5 crore can opt for the quarterly return monthly payment (QRMP) scheme. Composition taxpayers file a quarterly statement and an annual return instead. Many taxpayers also file the annual return GSTR-9.
Late filing attracts late fees and interest, blocks the next period's return, and can hurt your customers' input tax credit, because their credit depends on what you report. The GST law also bars filing a return more than three years after its due date.
Our team reconciles your sales and purchase registers with GSTR-2B, prepares the returns, shares them for your approval and files them on the GST portal, and keeps you posted on due dates.
Who needs it
- Every business with a GSTIN, including those with nil activity in a period
- Businesses that want their input tax credit matched and claimed correctly
- Taxpayers with pending returns that need to be brought up to date

Typical timeline
Monthly filers generally file GSTR-1 by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th of the following month. Under the QRMP scheme GSTR-1 is due by the 13th of the month after the quarter and GSTR-3B by the 22nd or 24th, depending on the state. The annual return GSTR-9 is generally due by 31 December after the financial year. The government sometimes extends these dates; we follow the notified dates.
