Frequently Asked Questions

What are the GST return due dates?

For monthly filers, GSTR-1 is due on the 11th and GSTR-3B on the 20th of the following month. QRMP (quarterly) filers file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B after the quarter, with monthly tax paid via PMT-06. We track the cycle that applies to you.

What is the late fee for GST returns?

₹50 per day (₹20 per day for nil returns), split between CGST and SGST and subject to a cap. Interest of 18% per annum applies on any tax paid late.

What is the QRMP scheme?

The Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme lets businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly while paying tax monthly. We advise whether QRMP suits your cash flow.

Do I have to file even with no sales?

Yes. A nil return must still be filed for every period. Skipping it accrues late fees and can block your GSTR-1 and e-way bill generation.

How is Input Tax Credit claimed correctly?

ITC is claimed in GSTR-3B for invoices appearing in your auto-drafted GSTR-2B and used for business. We reconcile every period so you neither lose eligible credit nor claim ineligible credit.

What happens if I keep missing returns?

Continuous non-filing blocks your e-way bill facility and GSTR-1, can lead to suspension or cancellation of the GSTIN, and accumulates late fees and interest that must be cleared before filing resumes.
