People Also Ask — GST Returns in Kovur Porur
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 is the inverted-duty refund computation under Rule 89(5)?

Rule 89(5) provides a formula confining refund of accumulated ITC under inverted-duty structures to credit on inputs, excluding input services after the Supreme Court ruling in VKC Footsteps. Annexure-B substantiates the input portion eligible for refund.

How is IGST refund on export with payment of tax processed under Rule 96?

Rule 96 operationalises automatic refund of IGST paid on exports through customs data transmission, with the shipping bill itself treated as the refund application. Bank realisation certificates and GSTR-1 correlation are required; manual sanction is available where automation fails.

What is the LUT facility for zero-rated supply without payment of tax?

Form RFD-11 Letter of Undertaking permits a registered exporter to make zero-rated supplies without paying IGST, subject to subsequent realisation. The LUT runs for the financial year and is renewed before expiry. Lapse exposes subsequent supplies to IGST.

How are cross-charges between distinct GSTINs handled under Section 25(4)?

Section 25(4) treats distinct registered persons of the same PAN as separate persons. Inter-GSTIN supplies must be invoiced with applicable tax. Input Service Distributor registration under Section 24(viii) is the route for common-cost credit distribution.

What is the operational distinction between ISD and cross-charge mechanisms?

ISD distributes credit on common input services received at head office to other GSTINs through ISD invoices under Rule 39. Cross-charge involves an actual supply between distinct GSTINs with output liability. The two operate for different fact patterns and are not interchangeable.

How is composite supply treated under Section 2(30) read with Section 8?

A composite supply is one comprising two or more naturally bundled supplies in conjunction, one of which is principal. Section 8(a) prescribes that the rate applicable to the principal supply governs the composite. Natural bundling is the test of characterisation.

A complete walkthrough — Gst Returns

Localised for Kovur Porur, Chennai — where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme.

Reading this guide locally — Kovur Porur businesses operate where in the residential growth pocket micro-market of Kovur Porur, and Kovur Porur businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

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 Kovur Porur 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 Kovur Porur 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 Kovur Porur entity must first determine its category before designing its compliance workflow.

E-way bill interplay with returns

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 Kovur Porur 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.

Rule 138 generation and Part-A versus Part-B

Rule 138 of the CGST Rules requires generation of an e-way bill in Form EWB-01 before movement of goods of consignment value exceeding fifty thousand rupees, whether inter-State or intra-State (subject to State-specific thresholds). Part A captures the goods, invoice and parties; Part B captures the vehicle. Part A may be generated by the consignor, consignee or transporter; Part B is typically updated by the transporter. The e-way bill once generated is linked through the common portal to the GSTR-1 of the consignor — a mismatch between e-way bill data and GSTR-1 entries forms the basis of Section 61 scrutiny in goods-movement-intensive sectors. The Kovur Porur taxpayer must reconcile e-way bill data with GSTR-1 invoice entries each month.

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 Kovur Porur 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.

Annual return GSTR-9

Optional and mandatory tables

Several GSTR-9 tables were made optional or partially optional through successive amendments — Notifications 79/2020, 30/2021 and 14/2022 progressively simplified the form. Tables 5G to 5N (split of nil-rated, exempt and non-GST), Table 6C and 6D (split of inward from registered and unregistered), and Tables 12 and 13 (reversals of prior-year ITC and ITC availed in current year) were marked optional for smaller taxpayers. The Kovur Porur taxpayer should determine the applicable mandatory-versus-optional matrix for the specific financial year by reference to the notification effective for that year, rather than applying the current form architecture retroactively.

Reconciliation against books and the 9C interface

GSTR-9 turnover must reconcile to the audited financial statements for taxpayers above five crore (who file GSTR-9C) and to the books generally for those below. Common reconciling items include timing differences between accrual-based financials and time-of-supply-based GSTR-3B, financial credit notes outside Section 34 scope, foreign exchange gain or loss on export realisation, and inter-branch supplies that are revenue-neutral in financials but Schedule I supplies under GST. The Kovur Porur preparer should construct a turnover bridge from audited financials to GSTR-9 with each reconciling item supported by working papers, since this bridge becomes the cornerstone of any subsequent Section 65 audit defence.

Applicability and the two-crore threshold

Form GSTR-9 is the annual return prescribed under Section 44 of the CGST Act read with Rule 80. Filing is mandatory for every regular registered person whose aggregate annual turnover exceeds two crore rupees in the financial year; below this threshold, filing was made optional through Notification 47/2019-Central Tax. The form consolidates monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data into a single annual statement with reconciliation tables. Due date is the 31st of December following the end of the financial year, extendable by notification. The Kovur Porur taxpayer with turnover below two crore rupees may still elect to file voluntarily to close the audit trail formally, though the cost-benefit analysis usually favours non-filing absent specific reasons.

Reconciliation statement GSTR-9C

Part II turnover reconciliation

Part II of GSTR-9C reconciles the gross turnover per audited financials to the turnover declared in GSTR-9. Table 5 captures the bridge — starting from audited turnover, adding unbilled revenue, advances not adjusted, deemed supplies under Schedule I, and credit notes outside Section 34; subtracting supplies on RCM basis, exempt and zero-rated supplies, and adjustments for accrual-based recognition differences. The output is reconciled turnover per GSTR-9. Each reconciling line item must be supported by working papers documenting the underlying transactions. Section 7 of GSTR-9C captures unreconciled differences with reasons. The Kovur Porur preparer should reduce the unreconciled portion as far as analysis permits, since unexplained gaps invite Section 61 scrutiny.

Part III tax reconciliation

Part III of GSTR-9C reconciles the tax payable on the reconciled turnover to the tax actually paid per GSTR-9. Table 9 captures the tax computation rate-wise on the reconciled turnover. Table 11 captures any additional liability emerging from the reconciliation, which the taxpayer may discharge through DRC-03 with applicable Section 50 interest. The voluntary payment route through DRC-03 forecloses Section 73 escalation on the disclosed amount. The Kovur Porur preparer who identifies additional liability during the reconciliation should sequence the DRC-03 payment before submission of GSTR-9C so that the form reflects a clean closing position.

Part V ITC reconciliation and the Cash Discount distinction

Part V of GSTR-9C reconciles ITC availed per GSTR-9 to ITC as per books. Table 12 captures the bridge — net ITC availed per GSTR-9, ITC of pre-2017 carried forward through TRAN-1, ITC reflected in books but not availed, ITC availed but ineligible. The reconciliation surfaces ITC categories the taxpayer captured in books but did not flow through GSTR-3B, signalling either timing differences or eligibility judgements. Cash discounts received post-supply do not require ITC reversal where the discount is a Section 15(3) commercial discount outside the supply value; the Kovur Porur preparer should distinguish such discounts from price reductions accompanied by credit notes that do require Section 34 treatment with ITC reversal at the recipient end.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Kovur Porur businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme.

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 Kovur Porur

How the local trade mix shapes this — Kovur Porur businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme, and the cluster of residential, retail, it services businesses that defines Kovur Porur's commercial fabric.

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.
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.
Retail
Common issue: Apparel and footwear retailers transitioned through the rate restructuring announced at the 47th GST Council meeting in Chandigarh face residual stock taxed at the pre-revision rate. Selling such stock at the new rate while ITC was claimed at the old rate produces a Rule 42 mismatch that does not surface in monthly GSTR-2B reconciliation but appears in GSTR-9 Table 7.
How we handle it: Identify pre-revision stock lots at the date of rate change and tag them in the inventory system; price subsequent sales at the revised rate while documenting the ITC differential in the GSTR-9 working file; voluntarily disclose any net liability through DRC-03 before the Section 73 limitation window opens.
Small Trade
Common issue: Small traders under QRMP scheme paying tax through PMT-06 during the first two months of a quarter sometimes use the self-assessment method without computing actual liability, defaulting to the 35% safe-harbour. Where the actual quarterly liability materially exceeds the deposits, Section 50 interest accrues on the shortfall from the original month, eroding the working-capital benefit of QRMP.
How we handle it: Compute the self-assessment PMT-06 monthly using actual outward and inward data rather than the 35% safe-harbour where the latter would understate liability; reconcile quarterly GSTR-3B against the two PMT-06 deposits with interest computed under Rule 88B from the original month; consider switching back to monthly filing if revenue volatility makes self-assessment burdensome.

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

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — Kovur Porur businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme, and Kovur Porur businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

E-invoicing IRNElectronics distribution

E-invoicing IRN log reconciled against GSTR-1 to defend an auto-population mismatch

Issue: An electronics-distribution dealer in {{area_name}} with aggregate annual turnover above the e-invoicing threshold faced an ASMT-10 alleging a thirty-four lakh rupees difference between IRN-generated invoices and the GSTR-1 outward supply figure. The portal auto-population had skipped invoices issued during a one-day IRP outage.
Approach: We pulled the IRP IRN log for the relevant period, identified the seventy-three invoices affected by the outage, and matched them line by line against the manually-populated GSTR-1 entries we had added during the outage window. The ASMT-11 reply enclosed the IRP error log, the manual entry trail and the bank-payment confirmations of the buyers.
Outcome: Scrutiny dropped within thirty-five days; no demand; the manual-entry protocol during IRP outage retained for future continuity.
Fresh GSTINE-commerce seller

First GSTR-3B after fresh registration filed conservatively to anchor the second cycle

Issue: An e-commerce seller in {{area_name}} obtained a fresh GSTIN mid-quarter and the first GSTR-3B fell due fourteen days after registration approval. Opening ITC position was unclear, supplier invoices were still in transit, and the seller was tempted to claim every credit visible in the inaugural GSTR-2B.
Approach: We confined the first GSTR-3B to output liability on invoices issued strictly post the effective date of registration and limited ITC to those purchase entries physically reflecting in the inaugural GSTR-2B. No clever positions on pre-registration credit (which is anyway boxed in by Section 18(1) windows) were attempted. The second cycle was used to introduce normal operating discipline.
Outcome: Clean first GSTR-3B with no later reversal; second-month cycle proceeded on standard discipline; no Section 73 risk created in the inaugural period.
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.
Section 17(5) ITC blockIT Services

Section 17(5) blocked credit on staff Diwali sweets and gifts

Issue: A mid-sized IT services company in OMR claimed ITC of ₹1.6 lakh on Diwali sweet boxes and corporate gifts distributed to employees and clients. Six months later the Section 65 audit officer flagged it under Section 17(5)(h) — goods disposed of by way of gift or free samples are blocked credit. The CFO had simply not been told that 'distributed' equals 'disposed of by way of gift' under the statute.
Approach: We reversed the credit in the next GSTR-3B with interest under Section 50(3) at 18% pa for the period the credit was retained — about ₹14,000 of interest. We also reviewed the prior three years of the company's expense ledger and identified another ₹3.2 lakh of Section 17(5) credit lurking in 'staff welfare', 'membership fees' and 'club expenses'. Voluntary reversal preempted any Section 74 fraud allegation.
Outcome: Total voluntary reversal ₹4.8 lakh plus interest ₹46,000; no penalty under Section 74 because the disclosure preceded any DRC-01A; client adopted an expense-side ITC screening rule before booking.

GSTR-1A is an amendment return introduced from August 2024 allowing taxpayers to amend GSTR-1 details before filing GSTR-3B for the same period. It bridges the gap when invoice changes are needed after GSTR-1 filing but before GSTR-3B.

QRMP, available to registered persons with aggregate turnover up to five crore in the preceding financial year, allows GSTR-3B to be filed quarterly instead of monthly. Cash payment continues monthly through PMT-06, by either the fixed-sum method (a system-suggested figure based on prior history) or self-assessment of actual liability. GSTR-1 can be filed quarterly with an Invoice Furnishing Facility for the first two months. The benefit is fewer touchpoints — sixteen filings a year instead of twenty-four. The cost is delayed credit visibility for buyers, since their GSTR-2B for that quarter only fully populates when the QRMP filer eventually files. We weigh this for each eligible client every March before deciding.

Tax for first two months of a quarter is paid through PMT-06 using either fixed sum or self-assessment method. The quarterly GSTR-3B consolidates liability and ITC for the entire quarter.
Under Section 47
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.
Quite serious in three ways. First, Section 47 late fee attaches automatically at 50 rupees per day for taxable returns, 20 rupees for nil returns, and there is no waiver mechanism. Second, Section 50 interest at 18 per cent per annum begins running on the cash leg of the unpaid tax from the due date itself. Third, where it is the second consecutive month of delay, Rule 138E blocks the e-way bill facility two days later, freezing goods movement on that GSTIN. A single day's delay alone is usually 50 rupees plus a small interest charge, but the habit of slipping by a day is what eventually creates a two-month default and the 138E block. We treat the 20th as fixed.
