  1. Facts

    Set up a simple monthly calendar and reminders for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and keep cash ready for tax. The portal also sends reminders before the due date.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 46, CGST Act 2017A registered person who fails to file a return under Sec 39, 44, 45 or 52 gets a notice to file within 15 days
    • Circular 129/48/2019-GSTSOP for non-filers: alerts, GSTR-3A after the due date, best judgement assessment in ASMT-13 if still not filed
  3. Analysis

    Circular 129/48/2019-GST describes a reminder 3 days before the due date and alerts after. Treat these as the last line, not the plan. Example: close sales and purchase records by the 5th, file GSTR-1 by the 11th, review ITC with GSTR-2B after the 14th, file GSTR-3B by the 20th. Put the GST amount aside every week.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Make a monthly GST calendar with all due dates.
    2. Close books by the 5th of each month.
    3. Keep a separate account for GST money.
    4. Check alerts on registered mobile and email.
    5. Consider an assisted filing plan if you keep missing.
