- Nil GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing by SMSEven with no business in a month you must file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, or late fees build up. If there were no sales, no purchases to claim and nothing owed, the returns can be filed as nil by SMS from the registered mobile. We confirm it really is a nil month and file both by SMS on time.

- Adding bank account details, Rule 10AAfter you get a GSTIN you must add a business bank account on the GST portal within 30 days. If you miss it, the portal now suspends your registration on its own. We add and verify the account through a non-core amendment and, if you are already suspended, get the proceedings dropped.

- Checking GST on a bill: GSTIN validity, rate and tax shownBefore you pay GST on a bill, you can check if the seller is allowed to charge it. We look up the GSTIN on the GST portal, check whether it is active and regular (not composition), check the rate and the maths, and tell you what to do if something is wrong.

- Interest on late tax payment, Sec 50When GST is paid late you owe interest at 18 percent a year, but only on the part paid in cash, and money already sitting in your cash ledger from the due date is not counted. We work out the correct interest period by period, check the portal's auto figure, and pay it so a notice does not follow.

Returns must be filed in order, and after three years they cannot be filed at all. We file the pending returns oldest first, work out the exact late fee and interest, and stop the clock.
