Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the AATO Amendment in the GST Return Filing Process?

The Quarterly Return with Monthly Payment (QRMP) Scheme was introduced following GST Council recommendations. Eligible taxpayers with Aggregate Annual Turnover of up to ₹5 crore in the previous or current financial year may choose quarterly filing of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B while making tax payments for the first two months of each quarter through the prescribed process.

Yes. GST returns are generally prepared and submitted electronically through the GST portal. The taxpayer or authorized representative must use the applicable login, verification, payment, and filing procedure.

The threshold and related conditions may vary depending on the state, nature of supply, business activity, and applicable GST provisions. Businesses should review the rules relevant to their state and circumstances.

A filed GST return generally cannot be revised in the same manner as an Income Tax Return. However, eligible corrections or adjustments may be reported through the appropriate amendment or subsequent-return provisions, subject to the applicable rules.

What Do CGST, SGST, and IGST Mean?

CGST is Central Goods and Services Tax, SGST is State Goods and Services Tax, and IGST is Integrated Goods and Services Tax. The applicable tax depends on the nature and location of the supply.

GST applicability depends on factors such as turnover, type of supply, location, business activity, interstate transactions, e-commerce activity, and specific provisions. Not every business has identical registration or filing obligations.

Late filing or delayed payment may result in late fees, interest, restrictions, or other consequences under the applicable GST provisions. Timely preparation and filing help reduce avoidable compliance issues.
