How often do I need to file GST returns?

Most businesses file GSTR-1 (sales details) monthly or quarterly and GSTR-3B (summary return) monthly. At year end, an annual GSTR-9 return is also required. Missing deadlines attracts late fees of Rs 50 per day per form and interest on the unpaid tax amount.

What is Input Tax Credit in simple words?

When you buy goods or services for your business and pay GST on those purchases, you can reduce that amount from the GST you owe on your sales. For example, if you paid Rs 5,000 GST on purchases and collected Rs 12,000 GST on sales, you only pay Rs 7,000 to the government. Correctly claiming ITC saves businesses significant money every month.

What is the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?

GSTR-1 is the detailed invoice-level report of all sales you made in the month or quarter. GSTR-3B is a summary return where you also pay the GST you owe. Think of GSTR-1 as the detail and GSTR-3B as the actual payment. Both must match completely for a clean compliance record.

What happens if I forget to file a GST return on time?

A late fee of Rs 50 per day (Rs 20 per day for nil returns) applies per form. Beyond that, the tax department can restrict your ability to file future returns, block your Input Tax Credit, and eventually cancel your GST registration.

What is GSTR-2B reconciliation and why does it matter?

GSTR-2B is an auto-generated statement that shows all the Input Tax Credit available to you based on your suppliers' filings. If your supplier files their GSTR-1 late or incorrectly, your ITC gets blocked. We reconcile your purchase records with GSTR-2B every month to ensure you are claiming the maximum correct ITC and flagging any supplier issues early.

Service Details

GST Filing & Compliance

Complete GST filing including GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and annual GSTR-9 with ITC optimization.

Quick Navigation

GST compliance involves monthly or quarterly return filing and maintaining detailed invoicing records for every transaction. We manage your entire GST compliance cycle ensuring maximum Input Tax Credit (ITC) claim while remaining fully compliant. Late GST filings attract Rs 50 per day in late fees plus 18% annual interest on unpaid tax. Beyond cost, repeated late filings can trigger a GST notice or temporary cancellation of your registration, disrupting business operations.

Who Needs This?

This service is for every GST-registered business in India, from small proprietorships to large private limited companies. If you have a GSTIN and make taxable sales, you are legally required to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns every month or quarter. This service is especially valuable for businesses that want to maximize their Input Tax Credit recovery, avoid the compounding penalties and interest charges of late filings, and maintain a clean GST compliance status that is visible to lenders, clients, and investors on the GST portal.

Key Benefits of GST Filing & Compliance

Timely GST filing avoiding penalties

We track all GST filing deadlines and submit GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B well before due dates. This prevents late fees of Rs 50 per day per return and the 18% annual interest charge on unpaid GST liability that accumulates rapidly when filings slip.

Maximum Input Tax Credit recovery

We reconcile your purchase invoices against GSTR-2B every month to ensure you are claiming the maximum legally eligible Input Tax Credit. Over-claiming or under-claiming ITC both create problems: over-claiming attracts notices and demands, while under-claiming means real money lost each month.

Accurate invoicing and records

Proper GST invoicing with correct GSTIN, HSN codes, tax rates, and invoice numbering sequences is a legal requirement. We review your invoicing setup and ensure every invoice your business raises meets GST law requirements to avoid rejections during returns or audits.

Monthly tax liability control

We provide a monthly tax liability summary before each filing so you know the exact amount due and can plan cash flow accordingly. There are no surprises in the form of unexpected tax bills or last-minute shortfalls when filings are due.

Audit-ready documentation

We maintain organized, month-wise records of all GST filings, reconciliations, ITC claims, and payment receipts. If a GST audit or scrutiny notice arrives, this documentation allows us to respond immediately with complete, accurate, and well-organized evidence.

Professional GST compliance

Having a CA-led team manage your GST compliance signals operational maturity to investors and lenders. A clean GST filing history with consistent, on-time submissions is reviewed positively during business loan applications and investor due diligence.

Step-by-Step Process

Here is exactly what happens from start to finish when you work with us.

Invoice Collection

We collect all your sales invoices and purchase bills for the month before the 5th of the following month. This includes B2B invoices, B2C invoices, credit notes, debit notes, and export invoices, all categorized to the correct GST return section.

GSTR-2B Reconciliation

We match your purchase invoices against the auto-generated GSTR-2B statement to confirm which Input Tax Credits are legally available for the current period. Any mismatches (supplier not filed, wrong GSTIN, wrong invoice number) are flagged and suppliers are notified before you lose the ITC.

ITC Calculation

Based on confirmed GSTR-2B matches, we calculate your total eligible Input Tax Credit for IGST, CGST, and SGST separately. We also apply the ITC reversal rules (such as the 180-day payment rule and Rule 42 for mixed-use purchases) so your ITC claim is always legally compliant.

GSTR-3B Filing

We prepare and file GSTR-3B with the correctly computed outward supply summary, eligible ITC, and net GST payable. Payment of any GST liability due is coordinated through your cash ledger before the filing deadline to avoid interest charges.

Annual GSTR-9

At year-end, we file GSTR-9 with full reconciliation of all monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data against your audited financials. Where required for businesses above Rs 5 crore turnover, we also prepare GSTR-9C (the GST audit reconciliation statement) for filing.

Audit Support

If a GST audit, scrutiny, or show-cause notice is received, we provide complete representation. We prepare organized responses with complete invoice-level documentation and appear before the GST officer if required to resolve the matter with minimum disruption to your business.
