Monthly filing of GST returns

Regular taxpayers are required to file 2 GST returns monthly (if QRMP scheme is not opted/available)- GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B and 1 Annual return GSTR 9.

Quarterly Return Monthly Payment (QRMP) Scheme

Under QRMP scheme the registered person who has an aggregate turnover of up to Rs.5 crore in the preceding financial year can opt to file quarterly GSTR 1, GSTR 3B and pay tax monthly through PMT-06 challan instead of filing returns monthly. The scheme can be obtained on GSTIN basis.

A registered person who intends to opt the scheme should indicate the same on the GST portal, in the period starting from the 1st of the second month of the preceding quarter until the last day of the first month of the quarter for which such option is being exercised.

For example, If the registered person intends to file quarterly returns for Apr-Jun 2021, he should have opted for quarterly filing on the common GST portal between 1st February 2021 and 30th April 2021.

Ineligibility for QRMP scheme

Once the registered person has opted for quarterly filing, he can furnish his return every quarter for all future tax periods, except in the following situations:

  • If the aggregate turnover of the registered person crosses Rs.5 crore
  • If the last return which was due on the date of exercising such an option has not been furnished
