Facts
Once registered, you must display the certificate, issue tax invoices, and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from the effective date. Even with no sales, nil returns are due.

- Sec 31(1), CGST Act 2017A registered person supplying taxable goods or services must issue a tax invoice with the details prescribed.
- Sec 39(1), CGST Act 2017A regular registered person files a return (GSTR-3B) for each tax period by the due date.
Analysis
Download the REG-06 certificate and display it at every place of business. Set up an invoice series and show your GSTIN on every bill. Decide between monthly filing and the quarterly QRMP scheme if turnover is up to ₹5 crore. Missing your first return leads to late fees and can block e-way bills.
Conclusion

- Start a fresh invoice series with your GSTIN.
- Choose monthly or QRMP filing.
- File GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for the first period, even if nil.
