GSTR-3B FilingHandled by experts

GSTR-3B is a monthly self-declaration that must be filed by a person registered under the GST (Goods and Services Tax) law in India. It consists of summaries of outward supplies, inward supplies, and input tax credits available and taxable in a particular tax period.

Filing GSTR-3B involves several steps:

1. Login to the GST portal.

2. Navigate to 'Services', then 'Returns' and select 'Returns Dashboard'.

3. From the 'Financial Year' dropdown menu, select the relevant year, and select the relevant month from the 'Return Filing Period' dropdown menu.

4. Click 'Search', then under 'Monthly Return GSTR-3B', click 'Prepare Online'.

5. Enter all the required details in the respective fields.

6. Click 'Save' to save the return, or 'Submit' to submit the return.

7. After successful submission, the 'Payment of Tax' tile is enabled. You can now pay any outstanding tax.

8. Click 'Offset Liabilities' to clear your tax liabilities.

9. After payment of tax, click 'File' and select the declaration checkbox.

10. Select an authorized signatory from the dropdown menu, then 'File GSTR-3B with DSC' or 'File GSTR-3B with EVC'.

11. Enter your digital signature certificate or EVC, then click 'Proceed' to file your GSTR-3B.

Note: GSTR-3B must be filed by the 20th of the following month, failing which you may have to pay penalty and interest. It's important to file even if you have no transactions during the month (this is called a 'Nil' return).
