Monthly GST Compliances

Understanding Your Monthly GST Responsibilities

Once your business is registered under GST, a continuous set of responsibilities begins. GST is not a “file once and forget” system — it requires monthly or quarterly filings, tax calculations, payment tracking, and careful reconciliation of every invoice. Consistent compliance not only saves you from penalties but also builds your organisation’s financial credibility and tax readiness.

It ensures your books stay clean, your input tax credit remains fully available, and you’re always prepared in case of audits, departmental queries or annual filings.

Key points:
• You must file returns like GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and other forms depending on your business type, turnover and registration.
• Regular compliance ensures accurate tax payment, timely reflection of sales and purchases, and proper ITC claims.
• Missing deadlines can lead to late fees, interest, blocked credit, or scrutiny from tax authorities.
• Monthly discipline helps avoid end-of-year stress during GST annual return, reconciliation or audit.
• Business owners often struggle due to frequent portal changes — professional support ensures smooth, error-free compliance.

How We Work – Your Monthly Compliance Flow

A clear and organised process makes GST compliance simple and predictable. LegalCliq follows a structured cycle every month to keep your filings accurate and timely.

Our workflow:
• Data Collection: We collect your monthly sales, purchase, credit/debit notes and any special entries.
• Reconciliation: We match your invoices with GSTR-2B, verify GSTINs, check ITC eligibility and calculate tax liability.
• Return Drafting: We prepare accurate GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B based on actual numbers, ITC balance and outward supplies.
• Filing & Payment: Returns are filed within due dates, and we assist you with the tax payment process on the portal.
• Post-Filing Review: We verify whether the filings are correctly reflected and ensure your ITC and liability details are updated.
• Issue Resolution: We address mismatches, past errors, unclaimed credits, or notices from the department.
• Monthly Summary: You receive a clear snapshot of what was filed, tax paid, ITC used and upcoming compliance tasks.

Documents You Should Keep Ready Each Month

Having your GST documents organised keeps the entire process smooth. Sharing accurate details on time helps in quick filing and prevents last-minute delays.

Checklist:
• Sales invoices with GST details, place of supply and customer GSTIN (if applicable).
• Purchase invoices showing GST paid, supplier GSTIN and ITC eligibility.
• Credit notes, debit notes, purchase returns and sales returns.
• Export-related documents such as LUT, shipping bills or zero-rated supply details.
• Bank statements reflecting GST payments and refunds.
• RCM-related bills and expenses requiring reverse charge payment.
• Details of amendments, cancelled invoices, or corrections for earlier months.
• Any updates in business structure, branches or nature of supply.

Timeline, Due Dates & Cost Estimate

GST follows a strict schedule every month, and being aware of these timelines helps you stay fully compliant. LegalCliq ensures your returns are filed well before due dates and your tasks are clearly planned.

What to expect:
• GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B deadlines differ depending on your filing category, but generally fall around the 11th and 20th of each month.
• Businesses under QRMP follow quarterly returns with monthly IFF filing options — we take care of these deadlines too.
• Pricing depends on monthly invoice volume, number of business locations and complexity of ITC calculations.
• You receive a fixed monthly or quarterly compliance plan, with all services clearly defined.
• Any additional work like notices, amendments or large reconciliations is communicated clearly before starting.
• A monthly compliance report is shared so you always know the status of your filings and upcoming tasks.
