When GST was introduced

The original concept was that 3 Returns were to be filed

GSTR1-->For Details of Sales and Output

GSTR2-->For Details of Purchase and Input

GSTR3--->GST Payable or Credit

 

But What actually happened was

Only GSTR1 was Introduced

GSTR2 and GSTR3 were not introduced

In its place GSTR3B was introduced

So Currently Only 2 Returns are Filed

GSTR1+GSTR3B for Regular Dealers

 

Also Annual Return is filed in some Cases

 


What is GSTR1?

This Return contains bill vise details of different Sales Invoices

These Invoices may be B2B (Business to Business),B2C (Business to Consumer) or Export

It also contains details of Credit Note Debit Note Issued (for cases like Sales Return etc)

 

How is GSTR1 filed? -Quarterly or Monthly

If turnover more than 1.5 crore in last year  

GSTR1 is Monthly

(or likely to exceed 1.5 Cr in current year)

Due date is 11th of Next Month

GSTR1 Due date for Oct is 11 Nov

 

If turnover upto 1.5 Crore in current year

GSTR1 can be Quarterly or Monthly as per choice of taxpayer

Due date for Quarterly Scheme is One Month from end of  Quarter

Example GSTR1 due date for Oct-Dec is 31 Jan 2020
