Goods and Services Tax return filing has to be done every month/quarter by a registered taxpayer. This is a record of Outward and Inward supply done during the month/quarter, and tax paid/payable by the Supplier. Besides this, the taxpayer also needs to file Annual Returns.

  • Every taxable Supplier needs to upload the outward supply details in the form of GSTR-1 for all the supplies by the 10th date of succeeding month.
  • The inward supplies are made available on 11th day of the month in the auto-generated gst return filing online
  • A blueprint of GSTR-2A of Outward Supply will be provided temporarily by GSTN based on the invoice details reported.
  • The purchaser can accept/reject/modify such a brief blueprint of GSTR-2A (Purchaser can download his statement from the portal and update or change it offline). The purchaser will also be able to add extra purchases (if he has received such supplies) in invoice of GSTR-2A, which is not uploaded by seller, up to 15th day of the month (i.e., within five days). ( GSTN would facilitate to upload periodic information to minimize the last-minute load on the system.)
  • The purchaser will submit the GSTR-2 form by the 15th of the subsequent month, and any related updates will be available in the GSTR-1A form to the seller. The seller can accept or reject the corrections made by the purchaser, and GSTR 1 will be revised according to the modifications agreed by the seller.
