FAQ
GST return filing in Chennai: your questions
Which GST returns does a regular business file?
GSTR-1 for sales and GSTR-3B for the summary and tax payment, monthly or quarterly depending on your scheme, plus the annual return GSTR-9 where it applies. Composition dealers file CMP-08 every quarter and GSTR-4 every year.
What are the due dates for GST returns in Tamil Nadu?
Monthly filers file GSTR-1 by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th of the next month. QRMP filers file GSTR-1 by the 13th after the quarter and GSTR-3B by the 22nd after the quarter, paying tax monthly in between.
Do I need to file returns if there were no sales?
Yes. A nil return must still be filed for every period you are registered. Missing nil returns attracts late fees too.
What is GSTR-2B reconciliation?
It is matching your purchase records with GSTR-2B, the monthly statement built from your suppliers' returns. You should only claim input credit that appears there, so we match every invoice and follow up on missing ones.
Is GSTR-9 annual return mandatory?
It's optional for businesses with turnover up to ₹2 crore and mandatory above that. Businesses above ₹5 crore also file GSTR-9C, a reconciliation of their books with the returns. Both are due by 31 December after the year ends.
What happens if I file GST returns late?
A late fee applies for each day of delay, up to a limit, and interest at 18% a year applies on tax paid late. Missing GSTR-3B for two periods blocks e-way bills, and long gaps can lead to cancellation of your registration.
Can I file GST returns from earlier years now?
Only within three years of their original due date. After that, the GST portal no longer accepts them, so pending returns should be filed as soon as possible.
How much do GST return filing services in Chennai cost?
It depends on how many invoices you have and whether you file monthly or quarterly. We quote a fixed monthly fee upfront, with the annual return quoted separately.
