GST Return Filing
GSTR-1, 3B, 9 and 9C prepared and filed on schedule, with GSTR-2B reconciliation so the credit you claim matches the credit you can actually defend.
Filing a GST return is not the hard part. Reconciling it is. Your GSTR-1 reports what you sold, your GSTR-3B carries the tax you pay, and your GSTR-2B lists the credit your suppliers have actually reported — and where those three disagree, the department notices before you do.
Which returns you file depends on your turnover. Above ₹5 crore you file monthly: GSTR-1 by the 11th of the following month and GSTR-3B by the 20th of the following month. At or below it you can opt into the QRMP scheme and file quarterly instead. QRMP catches people out, because quarterly filing does not mean quarterly paying — tax is still due every month through PMT-06 by the 25th of each month.
The deadline that matters most is not the monthly one. Under Section 39(11) a return more than 3 years past its due date can no longer be filed at all — the portal blocks it permanently and the input credit sitting in that period is gone for good. If you have old periods outstanding, that is the clock to worry about, not the late fee.

If any of these describe where you are right now, this is the service you are looking for.
You hold a GSTIN. Filing is mandatory for every registered person, whether or not you traded in the period — a nil return still has to be filed.
Your turnover is above ₹5 crore, so you file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly.
Your turnover is at or below ₹5 crore and you want the QRMP scheme's quarterly returns, with monthly payment through PMT-06.
Your aggregate turnover exceeds ₹2 crore and you must file the GSTR-9 annual return, or exceeds ₹5 crore and also need the GSTR-9C reconciliation statement.
Your claimed input credit and your GSTR-2B do not agree, and you need the gap reconciled before it becomes a notice.
You have returns outstanding from earlier periods and want them cleared before the three-year bar closes them.
Everything handled, end to end
The full scope of the engagement, so there is nothing to discover halfway through.
Monthly or quarterly return preparation
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B prepared from your sales and purchase data, with outward supplies classified correctly by rate and place of supply.
GSTR-2B and books reconciliation
We match the credit your suppliers reported against the credit you booked, and tell you which invoices are missing before you claim them.
Invoice Management System handling
Accepting, rejecting or keeping invoices pending on the IMS, so your GSTR-2B reflects reality rather than whatever your suppliers filed.
QRMP scheme assessment and PMT-06
Whether quarterly filing actually suits your cash flow, and the monthly payments managed so the quarterly return has nothing to catch up on.
Annual return and reconciliation (GSTR-9, GSTR-9C)
The annual return tied back to your audited books, with differences explained rather than absorbed.
Credit ledger and liability review
Electronic credit and cash ledger reviewed each period, so blocked or ineligible credit is caught before it is utilised.
Old period clean-up
Outstanding returns identified and prioritised by how close they are to the 3 years bar, worst first.
Late fee and interest computation
Where a period is already late, the exposure worked out precisely rather than estimated, so you know what closing it costs.
What you'll need to hand over
Collected once, at the start. We tell you which of these apply to your case before you gather anything.

The single most useful thing you can send us is a clean purchase register with correct supplier GSTINs. Almost every reconciliation problem we chase traces back to a supplier GSTIN typed wrong, which puts the credit somewhere neither of you can find it.

Common questions
The questions we are actually asked about GST Return Filing. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Monthly filers submit GSTR-1 by the 11th of the following month and GSTR-3B by the 20th of the following month. Under QRMP, GSTR-1 is due 13th of the month following the quarter and GSTR-3B 22nd or 24th of the month following the quarter, by state group — but tax is still paid monthly through PMT-06 by the 25th of each month.
Yes. A nil return is still a return, and not filing one attracts a late fee just as a missed liability would. It also blocks the next period, because GST returns must be filed in sequence — one skipped nil return can stall an entire year.
QRMP lets businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly instead of monthly. It cuts filing work, not tax outflow — payment stays monthly through PMT-06. It suits steady, predictable turnover; it suits lumpy turnover much less, because the quarterly reconciliation gets harder.
The late fee is ₹50 per day, or ₹20 per day for a nil return, subject to a cap. Separately, interest runs at 18% per annum on tax paid late, computed daily from the due date. The two are distinct — the fee is for the delay in filing, the interest is for the delay in paying.
Yes, but not indefinitely. A return more than 3 years past its due date cannot be filed at all — the portal blocks it and the period closes permanently, taking the input credit in it with it. If you have old periods open, prioritise by which is closest to that bar.
Usually because a supplier has not filed their GSTR-1, has filed it with your GSTIN entered incorrectly, or has reported the invoice in a later period. Your GSTR-2B only shows what suppliers actually reported, so the gap is normally theirs to fix — but the consequence lands on you.
GSTR-9, the annual return, applies where aggregate turnover exceeds ₹2 crore. GSTR-9C, a reconciliation between your returns and your audited accounts, applies above ₹5 crore. Both are due 31 December following the financial year.
The IMS lets you accept, reject or hold each inward invoice your suppliers report, and your GSTR-2B is built from those decisions. Used properly it stops wrong or duplicate invoices reaching your credit claim. Ignored, it defaults to accepting whatever was filed against your GSTIN.
