Monthly GST returns

GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and other GST returns prepared and filed before the due date.

About Monthly GST returns

Every GST-registered business must file returns even if there was no sale in the month. GSTR-1 reports your sales and is due on the 11th of the next month. GSTR-3B is the summary return where you pay tax, after setting off input credit, and is due on the 20th. Businesses with turnover up to Rs 5 crore can choose the quarterly QRMP scheme, where returns are filed every quarter and tax is paid monthly through a challan. Under the composition scheme, a quarterly statement (CMP-08) and an annual return (GSTR-4) are filed.

Late filing attracts a daily late fee and interest at 18% a year on unpaid tax. Repeated non-filing can lead to suspension of the registration and e-way bill blocking. We prepare returns from your Tally data or invoices and reconcile them before filing.
