GST returns and who files them
Due dates and applicability thresholds are revised from time to time — always confirm against the current GSTN notification before filing.
| Return | Filed by | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| GSTR-1 | Regular taxpayers — outward supplies | Monthly, or quarterly under QRMP |
| GSTR-3B | Regular taxpayers — summary and payment | Monthly, or quarterly under QRMP |
| GSTR-4 | Composition taxpayers | Annual |
| GSTR-5 | Non-resident taxable persons | Monthly |
| GSTR-6 | Input service distributors | Monthly |
| GSTR-7 | Persons deducting TDS | Monthly |
| GSTR-8 | E-commerce operators collecting TCS | Monthly |
| GSTR-9 | Annual return for regular taxpayers | Annual |
| GSTR-9C | Reconciliation statement, where applicable | Annual |
Reconciliation is where the time goes
The mechanical part of filing is quick. What consumes a practice's hours is reconciling the client's books against GSTR-2B, chasing suppliers who have not filed, and explaining an input tax credit mismatch that originated three months earlier. Any tool worth adopting has to address that, not just push a return.
