Frequently asked questions

What is the due date for GSTR-3B?

For monthly filers, the 20th of the following month — GSTR-3B for October is due by 20 November. Quarterly (QRMP) filers file it by the 22nd or the 24th of the month after the quarter, depending on their state, and pay the tax for the first two months of the quarter by the 25th in challan PMT-06.

What is the due date for GSTR-1?

The 11th of the following month for monthly filers. Quarterly (QRMP) filers file it by the 13th of the month after the quarter, and may upload B2B invoices for the first two months through the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) by the 13th of the next month.

What is the QRMP scheme?

Quarterly Return Monthly Payment lets businesses with aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B every quarter instead of every month, while still paying tax monthly. Whether GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd or the 24th depends on the state the business is registered in.

What is the late fee for filing GSTR-3B or GSTR-1 late?

₹50 a day — ₹25 each under CGST and SGST — or ₹20 a day for a nil return. The total is capped by turnover: ₹500 for a nil return; otherwise ₹2,000 for turnover up to ₹1.5 crore, ₹5,000 from ₹1.5 crore to ₹5 crore and ₹10,000 above ₹5 crore. Tax paid after the due date also carries interest at 18% a year.

When is the GST annual return due?

GSTR-9 is due by 31 December after the end of the financial year, together with GSTR-9C (the reconciliation statement) where turnover is above ₹5 crore. Composition taxpayers file GSTR-4 by 30 April instead, and pay tax each quarter in CMP-08 by the 18th of the month after the quarter.

Is there a time limit for filing old GST returns?

Yes. A return can no longer be filed once three years have passed since its due date. This covers GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, GSTR-5, GSTR-6, GSTR-7, GSTR-8 and GSTR-9, so old returns should be filed well before then.

What if a due date falls on a Sunday or a holiday?

The dates on this page are as the law sets them. When a deadline is moved — for a holiday, a portal problem or a natural calamity — the government announces the extension by notification, so check the news on the GST portal before relying on a later date.
