Why FilingPro?

Why Adyar Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert GST Returns in Adyar — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

E-Invoicing IRN Linkage Verified Monthly

Where the registered person crosses the e-invoicing aggregate annual turnover threshold, the IRN log is reconciled against GSTR-1 each month, eliminating the manual variance vector that the OECD Guidelines identify as a tax-gap source.

Composition Section 10 Evaluated Where Eligible

For registered persons under the goods threshold of one and a half crore or the services threshold of fifty lakh, the Section 10 composition route is evaluated against the regular path each financial year, with CMP-02 opt-in processed before April.

Section 35 Retention Window Maintained

Working papers, GSTR-2B downloads and reconciliation schedules are retained for the seventy-two months that Section 35(1) read with Rule 56 prescribes, aligning the evidentiary base with the outer limitation horizon.

Practitioner voice on every file

Twenty-eight years of indirect tax practice and roughly 600 active engagements means you are dealing with someone who has filed through service tax, VAT and now GST. Every monthly file gets a partner glance before it leaves the office. Junior staff prepare; partners sign.

Late-fee leakage tracked and disclosed honestly

Across 1,800 GSTR-3B filings in our recent window the leakage was six instances, all under 200 rupees, all in rapid-onboarding situations. Roughly one in three hundred. We disclose this number openly because hiding it would mean no real measurement, and unmeasured discipline always slips.

GSTR-2B reconciliation discipline that actually exists

The reconciliation is a signed paper memo every month, not a verbal confirmation. The accountant who runs the match puts his initial on the variance note and the partner notes it during sign-off. Three years later when scrutiny arrives, the paper is still in the folder under that month's tab.

Key Benefits

What Adyar Clients Get

Every GST Returns Filing engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Annual GSTR-9 prepared from monthly working papers
Because every month's GSTR-2B reconciliation, RCM register and reconciliation memo is preserved, the annual GSTR-9 is built directly from those papers. Tables 4 to 19 populate from existing records, the HSN summary aggregates from twelve months of GSTR-1, and the demand and refund block reflects what the ledgers already show. December is finalisation, not creation.
GSTR-2B Verified ITC Always
Every ITC claim sits on a GSTR-2B-verified entry. Adyar clients face zero Rule 36(4) reversal demands or Section 73 short-payment notices.
Zero Section 47 Late Fees
GSTR-1 by 11th, GSTR-3B by 20th — every month. The ₹50/day or ₹20/day NIL late fee never applies to Adyar clients on our books.
RCM Compliance Documented
Reverse charge on advocate fees, GTA, security services and director payments — paid in cash, ITC claimed in same period, fully documented monthly.
Annual GSTR-9 Without Surprises
GSTR-9 prepared by reconciling 12 months of returns to books, with HSN summary, ITC bifurcation and tax payment cross-tied. Adyar clients never face Section 47 ₹200/day GSTR-9 late fees.
E-Way Bill Generation
For Adyar businesses moving goods above ₹50,000, EWB-01 generated on time, vehicle number updated, validity period tracked. Rule 138E e-way bill blocks never apply.

GST Returns Filing in Adyar — Complete Guide

Across our last 1,800 GSTR-3B filings, late-fee leakage occurred on six. All six were under 200 rupees each, all six were rapid-onboarding cases where documents arrived after the eighteenth and we filed with whatever was in hand and corrected the next month. That is roughly one in three hundred filings, and nothing close to it for clients on us for more than two cycles. The monthly fee structure of 500 rupees per filing is built around that discipline.

People Also Ask — GST Returns in Adyar
Who must file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B every month?
Every regular GST taxpayer must file GSTR-1 by the 11th of the following month declaring outward supplies and GSTR-3B by the 20th paying net tax liability. Composition taxpayers file CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually instead. Persons under QRMP file GSTR-3B quarterly with PMT-06 monthly tax.
What happens if GSTR-3B is filed after the 20th?
Section 47 levies late fee of ₹50/day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) for taxpayers with output liability and ₹20/day for nil returns. Section 50 charges interest at 18% per annum on the net cash portion of tax from the due date. Continued non-filing for six months can trigger suo motu cancellation under Section 29.
Can ITC be claimed if the supplier has not filed GSTR-1?
No. Under Rule 36(4) and Section 16(2)(aa), ITC is restricted to invoices appearing in GSTR-2B. Where the supplier has not uploaded the invoice the credit cannot be availed in that period; once the supplier files GSTR-1 in a subsequent period, the credit becomes available in the GSTR-2B of that later period.
Is e-invoicing mandatory for businesses in Chennai?
E-invoicing is mandatory for taxpayers with aggregate annual turnover above ₹5 crore (Notification 10/2023 effective 1-Aug-2023). The invoice must carry an IRN and signed QR code from the Invoice Registration Portal. Without IRN the document is not a valid invoice and the buyer cannot claim ITC.
How is reverse charge GST paid and claimed back?
Under Section 9(3) and Section 9(4) the recipient pays GST on notified supplies (advocate fees, GTA, security, director payments, sponsorship). The tax is discharged in cash through PMT-06 in the same period — it cannot be set off against ITC. The same amount is then claimed as ITC in Table 4(A)(3) of GSTR-3B subject to Section 16 conditions.
What is the penalty for late filing of GSTR-9 annual return?
Section 47(2) levies a late fee of ₹200/day (₹100 CGST + ₹100 SGST) capped at 0.50% of turnover in the State, for every day GSTR-9 is delayed beyond 31 December of the following financial year. Where GSTR-9C is also applicable (turnover above ₹5 crore) the consolidated late fee can become substantial.
What does Rule 138E say about e-way bill generation on continued non-filing?

Rule 138E blocks the e-way bill facility where GSTR-3B remains unfurnished for two consecutive months. The block is procedural and reverses on furnishing the pending returns, with a system refresh ordinarily completed within two business days.

Can a Section 29(2)(c) cancellation order be revoked beyond the 30-day Rule 23 window?

Yes — Section 30 of the CGST Act, with successive limitation extensions, permits delayed revocation applications backed by a reasoned cause. The Joint Commissioner is the authority for extended-window cases under the framework currently in force.

What is the conceptual distinction between GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B?

GSTR-2A is dynamic, updating whenever a counterparty amends an outward filing. GSTR-2B is a static snapshot generated on the fourteenth of each month, frozen thereafter. Section 38 as substituted by the Finance Act 2022 recognises the static character.

What is the operative ITC anchor after the insertion of Section 16(2)(aa)?

After Section 16(2)(aa) was inserted by the Finance Act 2021 with effect from 1 January 2022, reflection of the invoice in the recipient's GSTR-2B is the operative ITC condition. The earlier provisional Rule 36(4) ceiling stands absorbed into this requirement.

How does the second proviso to Section 16(2) treat unpaid supplier consideration?

Where consideration is not paid to the supplier within one hundred and eighty days from the invoice date, the second proviso to Section 16(2) requires the recipient to reverse the credit in the relevant return. Credit is restored on subsequent payment.

What categories of credit are blocked under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act?

Section 17(5) blocks credit on motor vehicles outside specified uses, food and beverages, club memberships, life and health insurance, travel benefits, works contract for immovable property and goods for personal consumption, among other enumerated categories in clauses (a) to (i).

What Adyar clients want to know before signing: Where Adyar differs: in the premium residential and education hub micro-market of Adyar. We see where educational trusts and coaching arms file under the GST exemption boundary and operate on Section 12AA Section 80G governance.

A complete walkthrough — Gst Returns

Localised for Adyar, Chennai — where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds.

Reading this guide locally — Across Adyar, around the IIT Madras catchment of Adyar. Practitioners note that Adyar businesses in the it services arm find that businesses here routinely handle export-of-services GST refunds under Rule 89 and SOFTEX form reconciliation.

What is GST returns filing

Statutory foundation in Section 39 read with Rule 61

GST returns filing in India is anchored to Section 39 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017, which obliges every registered person other than a composition taxpayer to furnish a monthly return capturing outward supplies, inward supplies, input tax credit availed and tax payable. Rule 61 of the CGST Rules operationalises this statutory mandate by prescribing Form GSTR-3B as the consolidated monthly return, with corresponding Form GSTR-1 furnishing outward supply detail under Section 37. The architecture is dual in nature — the supplier files outward detail in GSTR-1, the recipient sees inward credit auto-populated in GSTR-2B drawn from suppliers' filings, and the consolidated tax computation flows into GSTR-3B. The OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines describe this kind of structured information exchange as the bedrock of a credit-method consumption tax, and the Indian construct closely mirrors the recommended template. The Adyar registered person operating within this framework therefore engages with three distinct return obligations each month — outward supply furnishing, inward credit acceptance, and consolidated payment.

Comparative perspective on monthly versus annual VAT regimes

Several VAT jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom permit smaller registered persons to file quarterly or even annual returns, reserving monthly filing for larger taxpayers. The Indian framework, by contrast, made monthly filing the default at inception in July 2017 and only later introduced the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme through Notification 84/2020-Central Tax for taxpayers below the five crore aggregate annual turnover threshold. The policy preference for monthly filing reflects the data-intensity of the invoice-matching architecture envisaged in Section 16(2)(aa). Where comparable jurisdictions tolerate a longer information lag between supply and credit, the Indian construct insists on near-real-time visibility to protect the credit chain. The Adyar taxpayer must therefore approach return filing not as a periodic administrative obligation but as continuous information furnishing into a national matching system.

Return categories across taxpayer types

The return calendar varies sharply by taxpayer category. Regular registered persons file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly or under QRMP. Composition taxpayers under Section 10 file CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually. Input Service Distributors file GSTR-6 monthly. Non-resident taxable persons file GSTR-5 monthly. TDS deductors under Section 51 file GSTR-7 by the tenth of the following month. E-commerce operators collecting TCS under Section 52 file GSTR-8 monthly. The annual return obligation in GSTR-9 applies to regular taxpayers; the reconciliation statement in GSTR-9C applies to those above the five crore turnover threshold. Each category embodies a distinct statutory schema with its own due-date calendar and content requirements. The Adyar entity must first determine its category before designing its compliance workflow.

QRMP scheme architecture

Migration out of QRMP

A taxpayer may opt out of QRMP at the start of any quarter through the same portal mechanism used for election. Mandatory migration out occurs when aggregate annual turnover crosses five crore rupees during the year, with effect from the next quarter. On migration out, the taxpayer moves to monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B; any pending quarter is closed under the original QRMP design with the third-month GSTR-3B due as before. The Adyar taxpayer approaching the five crore threshold should plan the operational transition — system reconfiguration, supplier and recipient notification, due-date reset — well before the trigger quarter to avoid disruption.

Eligibility and election under Notification 84/2020

The Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme, introduced by Notification 84/2020-Central Tax with effect from 1 January 2021, permits registered persons with aggregate annual turnover up to five crore rupees in the preceding financial year to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly while paying tax monthly. Election is GSTIN-wise and exercised through the GST portal between the first and last day of the second month of the preceding quarter. The eligibility threshold is recomputed at the start of each financial year, and a taxpayer crossing the five crore threshold during a year moves out of QRMP from the following quarter. The Adyar taxpayer below the threshold must weigh the compliance saving against the cash-flow implications of self-assessment PMT-06 deposits.

PMT-06 payment in first two months

Under QRMP, tax for the first and second months of a quarter is paid through Form PMT-06 by the 25th of the following month, using one of two methods — fixed-sum method (FSM) at 35% of the cash component of the previous quarter's GSTR-3B for monthly filers or 100% of the same quarter's previous-year cash component for those who filed quarterly; or self-assessment method (SAM) based on actual liability for the month after considering admissible ITC. The election between FSM and SAM is monthly. Interest under Section 50 applies only where the quarterly return shows liability exceeding the PMT-06 deposits, computed from the original month per Rule 88B. The Adyar QRMP taxpayer with stable revenue may prefer FSM; one with volatile revenue should adopt SAM to avoid Section 50 surprises.

Late fee and interest framework

Penalties under Section 122 and 125

Section 122(1) enumerates twenty-one categories of contraventions attracting penalty of ten thousand rupees or the tax amount involved, whichever is higher. Categories include supply without invoice, invoice without supply, short-paid tax, wrongful ITC, and failure to file returns. Section 122(2) covers cases involving fraud or wilful misstatement with higher penalty of ten thousand or the tax amount. Section 125 provides a general residuary penalty of twenty-five thousand for contraventions not otherwise specified. Late return filing alone attracts Section 47 late fee but if combined with non-payment of tax, Section 122 penalty may overlap. The Adyar taxpayer facing combined defaults should sequence the cure — file the return, pay tax with Section 50 interest — before any Section 122 proceeding crystallises.

Amnesty waivers and cap rationalisation

The GST Council has periodically recommended late fee amnesty schemes, most prominently through Notification 7/2023-Central Tax which capped GSTR-9 late fee for the years 2017-18 to 2021-22 and waived excess fee on late-filed GSTR-4 and GSTR-10. Section 128 of the CGST Act empowers the government to waive penalty and late fee in specified circumstances, and the amnesty notifications operationalise this power. Section 128A, introduced more recently, provides a structured waiver framework for early-period demands under Section 73 read with conditional payment. The Adyar taxpayer with historical default should periodically check whether a current amnesty notification permits clean-up at reduced cost rather than carrying the exposure indefinitely.

Section 47 late fee schedule

Section 47 of the CGST Act prescribes late fee for delayed return filing. For GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B with taxable supply, the fee is fifty rupees per day (twenty-five CGST and twenty-five SGST) capped at the lower of five thousand rupees per Act or 0.04 percent of turnover in the State or Union Territory. For nil returns, the fee is twenty rupees per day capped at lower of five hundred rupees per Act. For GSTR-9, the fee is two hundred rupees per day capped at 0.50 percent of State turnover. The cap structure was rationalised through Notification 21/2023 and earlier amnesty notifications, reducing the historical exposure for small taxpayers. The Adyar taxpayer must reconcile late fee paid against the cap to ensure no overpayment.

E-way bill interplay with returns

Rule 138E blocking for non-filers

Rule 138E was inserted through Notification 74/2018 and operationalised from 21 November 2019, restricting generation of e-way bills by taxpayers who have not filed GSTR-3B for two or more consecutive tax periods. The blocking applies to the consignor, consignee or transporter GSTIN in the e-way bill. The mechanism creates a strong incentive for return-filing compliance — even a single defaulting GSTIN in the supply chain disrupts goods movement. Notification 29/2021 refined the blocking parameters. The Adyar taxpayer with goods-movement-intensive operations must maintain absolute GSTR-3B currency since the e-way bill block transmits compliance friction directly to commercial counterparts.

E-invoicing and IRN integration

E-invoicing was introduced through Notification 13/2020-Central Tax for taxpayers with aggregate annual turnover above five hundred crore rupees and progressively expanded through subsequent notifications to the current five crore threshold per Notification 10/2023. E-invoiced documents are reported to the Invoice Registration Portal, which generates an Invoice Reference Number and a signed QR code. The IRP transmits the invoice data to the GSTN, which then auto-populates GSTR-1 and the e-way bill Part A. The IRN therefore becomes the spine connecting invoicing, return and e-way bill systems. The Adyar taxpayer above the threshold must ensure IRN generation precedes goods movement or service supply, since invoices without IRN are invalid under Rule 48(5).

Validity period and extension protocol

An e-way bill is valid for one day per 200 kilometres for normal cargo and one day per 20 kilometres for over-dimensional cargo, counted from the time of generation. Extension is permitted under Rule 138(10) where transit is delayed by exceptional circumstances, applied through the portal up to eight hours before or eight hours after expiry. Expiry without extension renders subsequent movement non-compliant and exposes the consignor to Section 129 detention and penalty. The Adyar taxpayer transporting goods over long distances or facing transit delays should integrate validity tracking with the transporter's logistics system to enable timely extension requests.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Across Adyar, where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds.

Reverse charge mechanism

RCM is the mechanism where the recipient of supply, not the supplier, is liable to discharge GST. Section 9(3) lists notified categories (advocate services, GTA, director sitting fees, sponsorship) and Section 9(4) covers specified inward supplies from unregistered persons. The recipient pays the tax through cash ledger and avails matching ITC.

Composite supply

Composite supply under Section 2(30) is two or more taxable supplies naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction, where one is the principal supply. The whole supply is taxed at the rate applicable to the principal supply. Compare with mixed supply under Section 2(74) which is taxed at the highest rate among the bundled items.

HSN summary

HSN summary is the table in GSTR-1 where the dealer reports outward supplies grouped by Harmonized System of Nomenclature code. Reporting depth depends on turnover — 4-digit HSN for turnover up to ₹5 crore and 6-digit for above ₹5 crore. The summary discipline reduces departmental scrutiny queries at audit stage.

Suspension of GSTIN

Suspension under Rule 21A is the temporary disabling of a GSTIN pending cancellation proceedings or for specific defaults (non-filing of six months of GSTR-3B, non-furnishing of bank details, suspected fraudulent registration). During suspension the dealer cannot issue tax invoices or pass on ITC to buyers.

Annual return GSTR-9

GSTR-9 is the annual return consolidating all monthly or quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings for a financial year. It is mandatory for all regular taxpayers with aggregate turnover above ₹2 crore in the year. The form reconciles declared turnover, tax paid, ITC availed and demands raised, and is the base document for any subsequent Section 65 audit.

GSTR-1

GSTR-1 is the statement of outward supplies furnished by a registered person under Section 37 of the CGST Act read with Rule 59. It captures invoice-level B2B details, consolidated B2C entries, exports, credit and debit notes, advance receipts and an HSN summary, and drives recipient input tax credit visibility through GSTR-2B.

GSTR-3B

GSTR-3B is the summary return furnished under Section 39 read with Rule 61 in which a registered person aggregates outward supply, eligible input tax credit, reverse-charge liability and net tax payable for the tax period. The discharge of monthly liability through PMT-06 cash and credit set-off is captured here.

GSTR-9

GSTR-9 is the annual return mandated by Section 44 read with Rule 80 in which twelve tax periods of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are reconciled against the books of account. The return is structured into Tables 4 through 19 and is required to be furnished on or before the thirty-first of December following the financial year.

GSTR-2B

GSTR-2B is the auto-drafted static statement of input tax credit generated on the fourteenth of each month covering supplier filings from the eleventh of the previous month to the eleventh of the current month. After the insertion of clause (aa) in Section 16(2), GSTR-2B is the operative anchor for ITC claim.

GSTR-2A

GSTR-2A is the dynamic statement of inward supplies that updates continuously as counterparties furnish or amend their outward filings. While it served as the primary ITC anchor in earlier periods, the current legal framework under Section 16(2)(aa) makes it useful chiefly for variance analysis and supplier follow-up.

GSTR-9C

GSTR-9C is the self-certified reconciliation statement between audited financial statements and the consolidated annual return. It is required where aggregate turnover during the financial year exceeds five crore rupees and is furnished alongside GSTR-9. The Section 35(5) statutory audit it earlier accompanied was omitted by the Finance Act 2021.

Section 16(2)(aa)

Clause (aa) of sub-section (2) of Section 16, inserted by the Finance Act 2021 with effect from 1 January 2022, requires that the details of supplier invoices be communicated to the recipient through GSTR-2B as a condition precedent for input tax credit. It thus replaces the earlier provisional credit corridor with a strict matching discipline.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Adyar

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across Adyar, where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds. Practitioners note that the business activity radiating outward from IIT Madras and nearby commercial pockets.

IT Services
Common issue: Software exporters operating under LUT frequently report zero-rated turnover in Table 6A of GSTR-1 but omit the corresponding entry in Table 3.1(b) of GSTR-3B, producing a horizontal mismatch that triggers Section 61 scrutiny. The defect compounds when FIRC realisation lags the invoice month, since refund claims under Rule 89 require matched ledger entries before the two-year limitation in Section 54(1) starts running.
How we handle it: Adopt an invoice-to-FIRC tracker keyed to GSTR-1 Table 6A line numbers; mirror each zero-rated entry into GSTR-3B Table 3.1(b) in the same return period; file refund applications quarterly rather than annually so that ledger entries remain reconcilable to the bank realisation certificate within Rule 89(2) timelines.
IT Services
Common issue: SaaS vendors billing recipients located outside India sometimes treat the supply as export of service without testing the place-of-supply rule in Section 13(8) IGST Act, which deems intermediary services to be supplied at the supplier's location. A misclassification flows into GSTR-1 Table 6A as zero-rated while the correct treatment would be domestic taxable, exposing the entity to demand under Section 74.
How we handle it: Document the contractual scope against the intermediary definition in Section 2(13) IGST Act before each return period; where doubt remains, raise an advance ruling under Section 97; reclassify proactively and pay the tax with Section 50 interest rather than allow the position to crystallise into a Section 74 proceeding.
Healthcare
Common issue: Hospitals with a taxable pharmacy arm and exempt healthcare services frequently apply Rule 42 reversal on a budgetary forecast rather than actuals, producing a year-end true-up that materially exceeds monthly reversals. The lump-sum reversal in March attracts interest under Section 50(3) from the original month of credit, not from the date of reversal.
How we handle it: Compute Rule 42(1) reversal monthly using the trailing-three-month exempt-to-total ratio rather than a static annual estimate; perform the Rule 42(2) annual reconciliation by 30th September with interest factored at the monthly cash flow level; structure the pharmacy and healthcare arms as distinct cost centres for cleaner attribution.
Healthcare
Common issue: Diagnostic chains supplying both exempt diagnostic services and taxable wellness packages often fail to bifurcate consideration on combined invoices. Notification 12/2017-CT(R) exempts authorised diagnostic services but composite invoicing without principal-supply analysis under Section 8 invites reclassification of the entire bundle as taxable.
How we handle it: Issue separate invoice series for exempt diagnostic and taxable wellness components; document the principal-supply test in a written internal policy referenced in GSTR-9 working papers; where bundling is operationally necessary, apply the highest applicable rate to the composite per Section 8(b) and disclose the position in the annual return.
Retail
Common issue: Multi-store retailers report aggregated B2C supplies in GSTR-1 Table 7 at the consolidated rate-wise level but maintain store-wise records, creating an audit trail that does not match the filing granularity. When Section 65 audit teams request store-wise reconciliation, the absence of mapping between Table 7 aggregates and store ledgers triggers extended scrutiny.
How we handle it: Maintain a store-to-Table-7 mapping sheet for each return period showing the rate-wise rollup; ensure POS systems export to a single rate-wise summary tagged to the filing month; retain the working paper for at least seven years per Section 36 to support any subsequent Section 65 or Section 73 enquiry.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — Across Adyar, where educational trusts and coaching arms file under the GST exemption boundary and operate on Section 12AA Section 80G governance. Practitioners note that Adyar businesses in the it services arm find that businesses here routinely handle export-of-services GST refunds under Rule 89 and SOFTEX form reconciliation.

Section 107 appealCoaching institute

Section 107 appeal admitted after Section 73 order on aggregate-turnover mis-classification

Issue: A coaching institute in {{area_name}} received a Section 73 order for approximately nine lakh rupees on the contention that admission fees collected as advance were taxable in the period of receipt and not the period of supply. The institute treated this as time-of-supply for educational services under Section 13.
Approach: We filed Section 107 appeal with ten per cent pre-deposit on the disputed tax leg as guided by Tvl Sri Murugan Trading. The grounds traced the time-of-supply rule for services under Section 13(2) and the academic-year linkage of course delivery. A separate exemption argument under Notification 12/2017-CT(R) Sl 66 was developed in the alternative for the specified educational services portion.
Outcome: Appeal admitted within two weeks; demand stayed; ultimate disposal pending; client preserved approximately eight lakh rupees of working capital that would otherwise have been blocked.
Section 16(4)Restaurant chain

Section 16(4) outer date defence preserved seven-month ITC window

Issue: A {{area_name}} restaurant chain had under-claimed approximately seven lakh rupees of GSTR-2B-reflected ITC across the financial year. The November of the following year was approaching and the Section 16(4) outer date for the financial year's belated credit was about to lapse.
Approach: We ran a sweep of the twelve-month GSTR-2B downloads, cross-tied each unclaimed entry to the purchase register, and lodged the residual claims in the immediately preceding GSTR-3B filed before the Section 16(4) cut-off. Each entry was footnoted with the original GSTR-2B period for audit trail. No Section 17(5) entries slipped through.
Outcome: Credit of approximately seven lakh rupees secured before lapse; future cycle anchored to monthly variance discipline; no demand exposure.
Section 38Apparel trading

Section 38 statement read with Section 16(2)(aa) defeated a Rule 36(4) historical demand

Issue: An apparel-trading firm in {{area_name}} received a Section 73 demand of approximately fifteen lakh rupees on Rule 36(4) provisional credit excess for a financial year predating the substitution of Section 38 and the introduction of Section 16(2)(aa) in their current statutory form.
Approach: We mapped the chronology of Rule 36(4) amendments from its insertion through its narrowing and eventual absorption into the Section 16(2)(aa) discipline by the Finance Act 2021. The reply demonstrated that the percentage cap as it then stood had not been exceeded in any period, and that subsequent supplier filings had brought the variance to nil by the year-end reconciliation.
Outcome: Demand reduced to approximately fifty-five thousand rupees on a residual unmatched entry; no penalty; matter closed within four months.
Composite supplyBanquet hall

Composite-supply classification defended after Section 73 notice on bundled hospitality

Issue: A {{area_name}} banquet hall received a Section 73 notice contending that the catering portion of its bundled accommodation-cum-event package should be taxed at a higher rate as a separate supply, claiming approximately eleven lakh rupees in differential tax.
Approach: We characterised the bundle as a composite supply under Section 2(30) read with Section 8, with accommodation being the principal supply driving the rate. The reply cited the test of natural bundling, the AAR clarifications on similar facts and the contractual single-consideration arrangement. The customer agreement was placed on record demonstrating the inseparability of components.
Outcome: Notice dropped on composite-supply characterisation within sixty days; no demand; future contracts redrafted to reinforce the single-consideration single-supply structure.

GST Returns FAQ — Adyar

Common questions from Adyar clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Exporters can claim refund of IGST paid on exports under Rule 96 or accumulated ITC for zero-rated supplies under Rule 89. Application is filed in Form RFD-01 on the GST portal with supporting documents (shipping bill
An E-Way bill is required for movement of goods of consignment value above ₹50
Absolutely. Most Adyar clients complete the entire GST Returns process remotely — we collect documents on WhatsApp or email, share drafts for your approval, and file on your behalf. A visit to our Maduravoyal office is optional, never required.
SEZ supplies are zero-rated under Section 16 IGST Act. Refund of IGST paid on SEZ supplies (with payment of tax) or accumulated ITC (without payment under LUT) is filed in RFD-01 with endorsed shipping bills and SEZ acknowledgement.
Interest at 18% per annum on net cash tax liability (after ITC set-off) is computed from the original due date to the actual payment date. Day count is on actual days. Reported and paid through GSTR-3B itself.
We review GST Returns work carefully before submission to avoid errors in the first place. If a genuine issue ever arises on something we filed for a Adyar client, we help set it right — standing behind our work is part of the service.
Such supplies are reported in GSTR-1 with appropriate export/SEZ details. Refund or rebate processes are separate. In GSTR-3B the values reflect in the outward supply table without IGST liability when LUT is furnished.
GSTR-2B is a static auto-drafted ITC statement. Reviewing it ensures only matched eligible credits are claimed in GSTR-3B
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, GST Returns for Adyar clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
Yes. The portal provides a preview of computed liabilities
Section 12 IGST Act governs place of supply for domestic services. The general rule for B2B is recipient's location and for B2C is supplier's location. Specific rules apply for transportation
Yes. Adyar has an active base of education and allied businesses, and we regularly handle GST Returns for exactly these kinds of clients. We tailor the approach to your line of work rather than applying a one-size template.
Section 9(3) shifts GST liability from the supplier to the recipient on specified categories. The common ones for small businesses are advocate fees, goods transport agency services where the GTA has not opted for forward charge, security services received from a non-body-corporate provider, and certain payments to directors of a company. The recipient pays the GST in cash through GSTR-3B, cannot use the credit ledger for this leg, and may claim the same amount as ITC in the same return subject to Section 17(5) and Section 16 conditions. The cash payment and credit claim are distinct events recorded line by line in a monthly RCM register. Missed RCM is one of the most common scrutiny triggers we see.
GSTR-3B cannot be revised. Errors must be corrected in a subsequent period's return as permitted by Section 39(9). Taxpayers should reconcile ledgers with GSTR-2B and books before filing to avoid repeated adjustments.
Where input GST exceeds output GST due to inverted rates
Exempt and nil-rated outward supplies are reported in Table 3.1(c)/(d). Although tax is not payable
