GST return filing is the mandatory process of reporting your business transactions and tax liability to the GST department every month. Monthly GST return filing includes: GSTR 1 (outward supplies statement) due by the 11th of every month, and GSTR 3B (consolidated summary return with GST payment) due by the 20th of every month. Businesses under the QRMP scheme file GSTR 1 quarterly but must pay tax monthly through PMT-06. All regular GST taxpayers regardless of turnover must complete monthly GST return filing. Non-filing attracts late fees and interest that accumulate daily.

GSTR 1 filing is the detailed statement of all outward supplies (sales) made during the month — it includes invoice-level details of all B2B and B2C sales, credit notes, debit notes, and export supplies. GSTR 1 must be filed by the 11th of every month. GSTR 3B filing is the monthly summary return that combines outward supply details, input tax credit claimed, and the net GST payable after ITC — the actual tax payment is made while filing GSTR 3B. GSTR 3B must be filed by the 20th of every month. Both GSTR 1 filing and GSTR 3B filing are mandatory for all regular GST taxpayers and must be filed even for months with zero transactions (nil returns).

Missing monthly GST return filing deadlines attracts: a late fee of Rs.50 per day (Rs.25 CGST + Rs.25 SGST) per return for regular returns, Rs.20 per day for nil returns, interest at 18% per annum on the outstanding tax liability from the due date, and cascading effect — GSTR 3B cannot be filed without first filing GSTR 1, creating a backlog. Continued non-filing can result in GST registration suspension or cancellation. Tax Robo files all returns before the due date every month — our system ensures no deadline is ever missed.

Tax Robo handles complete GST return filing online on your behalf — you simply share your monthly sales and purchase data and our CA team handles the rest. No GST portal login or form filling is required from your end. After filing, we share the acknowledgement number and filed return copy immediately. GST return filing online service is available for all states and all business types across India.

ITC (Input Tax Credit) reconciliation is the process of matching the ITC claimed in GSTR 3B with the ITC available in GSTR 2B (auto-populated from your suppliers’ GSTR 1 filings). Under GST rules, you can only claim ITC that appears in your GSTR 2B — excess ITC claims can result in GST notices and demand orders. Tax Robo performs detailed ITC reconciliation every month before filing GSTR 3B to ensure maximum legitimate ITC is claimed without errors. This reconciliation process often saves businesses significant amounts in GST liability each month.

The QRMP (Quarterly Return Monthly Payment) scheme is available for GST taxpayers with annual turnover up to Rs.5 crore. Under QRMP, businesses file GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B quarterly (January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December) instead of monthly, but still pay tax monthly using the PMT-06 challan by the 25th of every month. The QRMP scheme reduces the number of returns from 24 to 8 per year while maintaining monthly tax payment discipline. Tax Robo handles both regular monthly GST return filing and QRMP scheme compliance depending on your business’s eligibility and preference.

For monthly GST return filing, Tax Robo needs: sales invoices for the month (B2B with buyer GSTIN and B2C sales details), purchase bills and invoices for ITC claims, bank statement for the month, details of any credit notes or debit notes issued or received, RCM (reverse charge mechanism) transaction details if applicable, and any GST notices or communications received during the month. We accept data in any format — Excel, Tally export, PDF invoices, or WhatsApp photos. Our team organises and processes the data efficiently to ensure timely filing before every due date.
