Overview

GST Return Filing is a mandatory compliance requirement for all registered taxpayers under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) law. It involves periodic reporting of sales, purchases, tax collected, tax paid, and ITC claimed.
GST returns are data-driven and system-matched. Any inconsistency between
  • Sales and purchase returns
  • Vendor and recipient data
  • GST returns and books of accounts

can result in ITC denial, notices, or penalties.

GST compliance is administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs and strictly monitored through automated systems.

Who Is Required to File GST Returns?

GST return filing is mandatory for
  • Regular GST registered businesses
  • Composition scheme taxpayers
  • E-commerce sellers
  • Service providers
  • Manufacturers and traders
  • Businesses with NIL turnover
  • Entities with suspended or inactive GSTIN (in many cases)
Holding an active GSTIN usually triggers filing obligations, even if there is no business activity.

  • Monthly or Quarterly GSTR-1
  • Monthly GSTR-3B

Key focus areas

Key points:
