GST Returns – Types & Due Dates

Filing GST returns is mandatory for registered taxpayers in India. Each type of return serves a specific purpose. Here’s an easy-to-read overview:

  • GSTR-1: Filed for outward sales (B2B and B2C). Must be filed before GSTR-3B of the following month; late filing attracts fees.

  • GSTR-1A: Used to correct mismatches between GSTR-1 and customers’ GSTR-2 (15–17th of next month).

  • GSTR-2: Monthly return for purchases and inward supplies.

  • GSTR-2A: Auto-generated return showing purchases based on supplier’s GSTR-1.

  • GSTR-2B: Auto-generated statement for claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC).

  • GSTR-3: Consolidated monthly return showing sales, purchases, ITC, and tax liability.

  • GSTR-3A: Notice issued if monthly GST returns are not filed.

  • GSTR-3B: Simplified summary return for inward and outward supplies.

  • GSTR-4: Quarterly return for taxpayers under composition scheme.

  • GSTR-4A: Auto-generated return for composition dealers.

  • GSTR-5: Filed by non-resident foreign taxpayers for sales and imports in India.

  • GSTR-6: Monthly return for Input Service Distributors (ISDs).

  • GSTR-7: Filed for TDS deductions and related payments.

  • GSTR-8: Monthly return for e-commerce operators to report supplies and tax collected.

  • GSTR-9: Annual return consolidating monthly filings.

  • GSTR-9A: Annual return for composition taxpayers.

  • GSTR-9B: Annual return for e-commerce operators collecting tax.

  • GSTR-9C: Audit return for taxpayers with turnover exceeding ₹2 crores.

  • GSTR-10: Final return filed when cancelling GST registration.

  • GSTR-11: Monthly return for taxpayers with UIN (e.g., foreign embassies).

This structure helps you know which return applies to your business and ensures timely compliance.

Key Benefits of Filing GST Returns

GST return filing simplifies taxation by removing multiple taxes, avoiding double taxation, and offering higher turnover thresholds for small businesses. It benefits startups, e-commerce businesses, and ensures hassle-free online compliance.

No More Tax-on-Tax (Cascading Effect)

Before GST, businesses had to pay multiple taxes like excise duty, service tax, and VAT, often leading to tax on tax. GST combines these into one, saving you money.

Higher Threshold for Small Businesses

GST applies only if your annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs (goods) or ₹20 lakhs (services). Small businesses below this limit don’t need to file GST, reducing compliance stress.

Startup & E-commerce Friendly

Startups and online businesses benefit greatly since GST has removed the confusion of different state tax laws, making tax management simpler and uniform.

Who Should File GST Returns?

Registered Taxpayers

All businesses and individuals registered under GST in India are required to file GST returns regularly. This ensures proper tax reporting and compliance with government regulations for sales, purchases, and tax liabilities.

Casual & Non-Resident Taxable Persons

Individuals or businesses temporarily supplying goods or services in India, such as exhibitors or foreign traders, must also file GST returns during their period of operation within the country.

Special Tax Categories

Input Service Distributors (ISDs) and entities responsible for Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) are required to file GST returns, ensuring accurate distribution of input tax credit and proper tax deductions.
