Filing GST returns on time is crucial to avoid penalties, interest, and other compliance problems. Staying compliant is a key requirement under GST regulations. Below is a simplified filing calendar, with the main due dates for both monthly and quarterly returns. Sperso Filings helps you keep track and submit everything without stress.
Here are the main filing due dates you need to be aware of for both monthly and quarterly GST returns:
Businesses with a turnover above ₹5 crores need to submit GSTR-1 by the 11th of the following month. QRMP taxpayers (with turnover up to ₹5 crores) should file their GSTR-1 by the 13th of the subsequent quarter. An optional Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) is also available for QRMP taxpayers who wish to report invoices every month — this is due by the 13th of the following month.
For GSTR-3B, businesses with a turnover above ₹5 crores must submit their return by the 20th of the following month. QRMP taxpayers should file their GSTR-3B by the 22nd or 24th of the subsequent quarter, depending on their state of registration.
Composition taxpayers are expected to submit CMP-08 by the 18th of the following quarter.
Here’s what can happen if you miss your filing dates:
• Late Fee: ₹50 per day (₹20 for NIL returns), up to a maximum limit.
• Interest: 18% per annum on delayed payments.
• Blocked ITC: Failure to submit GSTR-1 may restrict your buyers from claiming input tax credit.
Staying up to date with your GST filing helps avoid penalties and keep compliance smooth.

Managing your GST returns can be complex, but with the right support, it’s much simpler. Our experts can guide you at every step — from registration to invoicing — helping you file your GST efficiently. Here’s how we can support you in meeting your GST obligations:
Book a consultation with our GST experts to clear up any doubts or complete your registration if you haven’t done it yet.
Submit your B2B, B2C invoices, and ITC details to start the return filing process.
We’ll compute and file your GST returns online, providing an acknowledgement once it’s done.
Here’s a list of documents you need for filing your GST returns online:
• Customer GSTIN: The customer’s GST Identification Number for invoicing.
• GST Invoices: Properly structured invoices that follow GST regulations.
• Place of Supply: Location of the buyer, used to determine applicable taxes (IGST vs CGST+SGST).
• B2B and B2C Invoices: Separate records for business and consumer transactions.
• Invoice Number: A unique number for each invoice, as per guidelines.
• Credit or Debit Notes: Adjustments made after the original invoice.
• HSN Summary of Sold Items: Summary of products or services based on their HSN codes.
• Breakup of IGST, CGST, SGST Amounts: Detailed amounts for each applicable tax.
• Applicable GST Return Forms: The forms you need to submit, such as GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B.
Here are some frequent GST-related mistakes that businesses make, along with helpful tips to avoid them — ensuring smooth and compliant filing of your GST forms (like GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and others).
One common error is entering the wrong GSTIN, which can result in mismatched returns and rejection of Input Tax Credit (ITC). Always make sure to verify the GSTIN details before submission and cross-check them against supplier invoices.
Another frequent issue involves mismatched Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims. Claiming ITC that doesn’t align with the supplier’s GSTR-1 can cause reconciliation problems. To avoid this, regularly reconcile your ITC with GSTR-2B and follow up with suppliers for accurate details.
Some businesses also fail to report all their invoices or enter them incorrectly, which can create further complications. Implementing a well-structured filing process and using GST-compliant accounting software can aid in accurate invoicing.
Late filing of GST returns is another major concern — missing filing deadlines results in penalties and additional interest payments. This can be avoided by setting up calendar alerts and employing automated filing tools to submit returns on time.
Lastly, applying the incorrect tax rate can lead to underpayment or overpayment of taxes. Always make sure you’re verifying the applicable rate using the official GST portal or by checking the relevant HSN/SAC code.
The price for filing GST returns and making payments can vary depending on the filing method — whether you handle it yourself, collaborate with a professional, or use an online platform. This makes it crucial to understand the process and submit your filings accurately. Below is a brief breakdown of the costs involved in filing GST, helping businesses select the most cost-effective option for their needs.
When filing your GST returns, there are different methods you can choose from — each with its own pricing, pros, and cons. Here’s a clear comparison to help you select the best option for your business:

Consider these strategies to keep your GST filing costs down while staying compliant:
Selecting the right filing method allows businesses to manage expenses while meeting compliance requirements.
Late or non-filing of GST returns can lead to late fees, penalties, and interest charges. These penalties vary depending on the return type and taxpayer category.
Not filing your GST returns on time can lead to late fees, penalties, and additional interest charges. These penalties differ depending on the return type and taxpayer category.
For GSTR-3B and GSTR-1, normal taxpayers face a late fee of ₹50 per day (₹25 for CGST and ₹25 for SGST), up to a maximum of ₹5,000. Nil return filers pay a reduced late fee of ₹20 per day (₹10 for CGST and ₹10 for SGST), with a maximum of ₹500. All taxpayers filing GSTR-9 (annual return) incur a late fee of ₹200 per day (₹100 for CGST and ₹100 for SGST), capped at 0.5% of their turnover.
If you miss filing your GST returns, an interest of 18% per annum applies on the outstanding tax amount, calculated daily starting from the due date. Continuing to neglect filing may lead to a show cause notice and eventual cancellation of your GST registration.
If a taxpayer files GSTR-3B 10 days after the deadline with dues payable, they may incur a late fee of ₹500 (₹50 per day for 10 days) along with 18% annual interest on the amount due. Filing on time helps avoid penalties and keep compliance smooth.
Businesses can apply for a GST refund when they pay excess tax, accumulate Input Tax Credit (ITC), or export without a tax liability. Here’s a step-by-step process for filing a GST refund:

A GST return is a document that summarizes your financial transactions under GST for a specified period.
The composition scheme is a simplified option for small businesses with annual turnover up to ₹1.5 crores, allowing them to pay a fixed percentage of their turnover instead of standard GST.
There are multiple returns under GST (like GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9), each with its own filing deadline and format.
Late filing attracts penalties, late fees, and interest, and may restrict your ability to claim input tax credit (ITC).
The cost varies depending on your filing method (self-filing, professional, or online platform) and business complexity.
Login to the portal, select your return form, fill in the details, submit, pay any due taxes, and save the acknowledgement.

Businesses with a turnover of up to ₹5 crores can opt for the QRMP scheme.
