What is GST Returns Filing?
GST Returns Filing is a monthly mandatory compliance for all GST-registered businesses in India. Under the GST law, businesses must file multiple returns reporting their sales (outward supplies), purchases (inward supplies), and tax payments. The three main returns are GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-9 (annual).
Late filing attracts penalties of ?50 per day (?20 for nil returns) plus 18% interest per annum on outstanding tax. Consistent delays can lead to GST registration cancellation. We ensure 100% on-time filing with expert CA support.

- GSTR-3B: Monthly summary return - Due 20th of following month
