Information about GST Return Filings
GST is applicable in India from 1st July, 2017. Since then there have been many changes in GST return filing processes, formats, due dates etc.
FOR REGULAR GST REGISTERED PERSONS
Presently, there are two main returns which are to be filed by every regular GST registered person. They are :
-
GSTR 3B - Monthly GST Return
GSTR-3B is the summary of particular month’s Sales and input tax credit and the GST payment has also to be made alongwith the filing of this return. This is a summary return of Particular month's Sales and Input Tax credit to be declared every month. On the basis of this declaration, the net tax liability is calculated and has to be paid every month or if there is exces input tax credit the same is carried forward to be adjusted in subsequent months.
The input tax credit is auto populated in GST form 2A which is available online. The taxpayer has to reconcile its input tax credit before filing form 3B so that the input tax credit is matched before filing 3B return. Also now the Govt. has restricted the input tax credit difference to not more than 10% of that available in Form 2A. Thus the taxpayer now has to restrict its input tax credit upto 10% of that available in GSTR-2A and any availment more than that is prohibited.
This return to be filed monthly on or before the due date (the due date is 20th of next month but the same has been staggered recently based on the demography of the country i.e. it is 20th, 22nd & 24th for different category of taxpayers)

The penalty for late filing of GST return is different for different persons.
For persons having NIL turnover, the penalty is Rs. 20 per day both for GSTR-3B & GSTR-1. Thus Rs.40 per day penalty is there for Nil turnover return filers if they do not file the return in time.
For persons having turnover, the penalty is Rs. 50 per day both for GSTR-3B & GSTR-1. Thus a person having any turnover and if he does not file GST returns in time, penalty of Rs. 100 per day is applicable.
