Why FilingPro?

Why Pothur Thiruverkadu Clients Choose FilingPro

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

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.

Vendor-buyer cycle gap actively managed

About one invoice in fifty falls outside the eleventh-to-twentieth filing cycle and lands in the next GSTR-2B. We hold those entries in a watch list and reconcile them in the following month. No accidental over-claim today, no missed credit forever.

RCM categories never silently dropped

Advocate fees, goods transport agency, security services from non-body-corporate, director sitting fees — every category is on the standing checklist. The client's expense ledgers are scanned each month against this checklist before GSTR-3B closes. RCM under-reporting is one of the easiest ways into a Section 73 demand and we close the door.

QRMP migration considered annually, not assumed

Below the five crore threshold, QRMP cuts compliance touchpoints meaningfully. But it is not a free lunch — quarterly cycles delay credit visibility for the buyer. We weigh this every March for each eligible client and migrate only where the working capital and customer mix actually suit.

First-month onboarding without a surcharge

A new client coming mid-cycle gets the first filing handled at the standard monthly fee. Opening balances, prior filer's working papers and any RCM catch-up come along with that. We chose long ago that the goodwill of a clean first filing is worth more than the labour we absorb.

People Also Ask — GST Returns in Pothur Thiruverkadu
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 supplier-side consequence of failing to file GSTR-1 for two consecutive periods?

Continued non-furnishing of GSTR-1 historically attracted restrictions on subsequent GSTR-1 filing under Rule 59(6). The recipient's GSTR-2B is correspondingly affected. Successive notifications have refined these gating restrictions to align outward and summary return discipline.

How is the aggregate turnover defined for return periodicity decisions?

Section 2(6) defines aggregate turnover on a PAN-India basis, including taxable, exempt, export and inter-State supplies but excluding inward supplies under reverse charge and the tax component. The five-crore reference for QRMP and e-invoicing draws from this base.

What recourse exists where a GST refund is rejected on procedural grounds?

Section 107 appeal lies against an adverse refund-rejection order. Pre-deposit is confined to ten per cent of the disputed tax leg following Tvl Sri Murugan Trading. Writ jurisdiction under Article 226 remains available for jurisdictional infirmities and natural-justice breaches.

Can the Madras High Court entertain a writ against a GST demand under Article 226?

Yes, where the demand discloses jurisdictional infirmity, breach of natural justice or absence of foundational satisfaction. The court has entertained GST writs in defined categories, drawing on the framework recognised by the Supreme Court in GKN Driveshafts (India) Ltd v ITO.

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 GST returns filing

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 Pothur Thiruverkadu entity must first determine its category before designing its compliance workflow.

Constitutional and federal architecture of GST returns

Article 246A of the Constitution, inserted by the 101st Amendment in 2016, confers concurrent power on Parliament and State Legislatures to make laws with respect to goods and services tax. The dual GST architecture means that the same return — GSTR-3B — services both CGST under the Central Act and SGST under the corresponding State Act, with IGST handled separately under the Integrated Act. The return filing portal is administered by the Goods and Services Tax Network, a Section 8 company in which the Union and States hold equity together. This cooperative-federal design distinguishes the Indian return architecture from the European Union model where each Member State runs its own VAT return regime under harmonised directives. The Pothur Thiruverkadu taxpayer files a single return that simultaneously discharges CGST and SGST obligations to two distinct sovereigns.

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 Pothur Thiruverkadu registered person operating within this framework therefore engages with three distinct return obligations each month — outward supply furnishing, inward credit acceptance, and consolidated payment.

Composition scheme versus regular

Rate structure and the no-ITC bar

Composition rates differ by category — one percent of turnover for traders and manufacturers (half percent CGST plus half percent SGST), five percent for restaurants, six percent for service providers under Section 10(2A) (three percent CGST plus three percent SGST). Composition taxpayers cannot claim ITC on inputs and cannot collect tax from recipients — invoicing is through bill of supply rather than tax invoice. The composition tax is therefore a cost borne by the supplier rather than a forward-passed levy. The Pothur Thiruverkadu taxpayer with high input tax incidence may find composition uneconomic despite the lower headline rate, while one with low input tax may benefit substantially from the compliance simplification.

CMP-08 and GSTR-4 return architecture

Composition taxpayers file Form CMP-08 quarterly by the 18th of the month following the quarter, declaring turnover and depositing tax. The annual return is filed in Form GSTR-4 by the 30th of June following the end of the financial year. The simplified return architecture reflects the design objective of reducing compliance burden on small taxpayers. Migration between composition and regular regimes is permitted at the start of each financial year through Form CMP-02 (into composition) or by automatic exit on threshold breach. The Pothur Thiruverkadu taxpayer should evaluate the composition election in March each year using projected next-year turnover and input cost structure.

Transitioning out and the closing-stock implication

When a composition taxpayer transitions to regular registration — voluntarily or by threshold breach — Section 18(1)(c) permits ITC on inputs held in stock, inputs in semi-finished and finished goods, and capital goods on the date of transition, subject to Rule 40(1). The credit is claimed through Form ITC-01 filed within thirty days of the transition. Conversely, a regular taxpayer opting into composition under Section 18(4) must reverse the ITC attributable to inputs in stock, semi-finished and finished goods, and capital goods, computed through Form ITC-03. The Pothur Thiruverkadu taxpayer planning a regime change must work through the stock valuation and ITC computation before the transition date to avoid claim or reversal disputes.

Common defaults and remediation

GSTR-1 versus GSTR-3B mismatch

The most frequent default flagged by the department is the horizontal mismatch between outward supplies declared in GSTR-1 and the corresponding aggregates in GSTR-3B Table 3.1. The mismatch arises from amendments captured in one form but not the other, from prior-period entries declared in GSTR-1 amendment tables without corresponding GSTR-3B adjustment, and from genuine clerical errors. The department's GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B comparison report is the standard trigger for Section 61 scrutiny. Remediation involves reconciling the two forms line by line, raising amendment entries in the period permitting them, and where amendment windows have closed, voluntary payment through DRC-03 with Section 50 interest.

Excess ITC over GSTR-2B

Where ITC claimed in GSTR-3B Table 4A exceeds the corresponding ITC reflected in GSTR-2B, the excess is presumed wrongful under Section 16(2)(aa) read with Rule 36(4) successor. The department issues DRC-01C demanding either reversal with interest under Section 50(3) at twenty-four percent or explanation through a portal reply. Common causes include supplier delinquency in GSTR-1 filing, IRN-generated invoices not yet appearing in GSTR-2B due to timing, and recipient retention of provisional credit beyond the permitted window. Remediation requires either reversal in the current GSTR-3B with reclaim on supplier compliance, or detailed documentation through the DRC-01C reply establishing why the claim is sustainable.

RCM liability under Section 9(3) and 9(4)

Reverse charge liability arises under Section 9(3) on notified categories of supply — including supplies from advocates, goods transport agencies under the default regime, sponsorship, director services to companies, security services from non-body-corporate suppliers, and import of services. Section 9(4) imposes reverse charge on inward supplies from unregistered persons in specified circumstances. The recipient must compute the RCM liability, pay it in cash through GSTR-3B Table 3.1(d), and claim the corresponding ITC in Table 4A(3) subject to Section 16 conditions. Failure to identify and pay RCM is a frequent default surfaced during Section 65 audit. The Pothur Thiruverkadu taxpayer should maintain an RCM register capturing each in-scope supply category month-wise.

Scrutiny under Section 61

Statistical filters used by the department

The department's risk-based selection for Section 61 scrutiny relies on a statistical filter set that includes — turnover variance year-on-year above defined thresholds, ITC-to-output-tax ratio above sector benchmark, persistent excess of ITC claimed over ITC reflected in GSTR-2B, mismatch between GSTR-3B turnover and GSTR-7 TDS turnover, mismatch between GSTR-3B turnover and Form 26AS or AIS (per CBDT Circular 8/2021 framework), and absence of e-way bill data corresponding to declared outward supplies. The Pothur Thiruverkadu preparer can construct a self-assessment checklist mirroring these filters and run it monthly before GSTR-3B submission, flagging any parameter exceeding the threshold for pre-emptive remediation.

ASMT-10 notice mechanism

Section 61 of the CGST Act empowers the proper officer to scrutinise the returns furnished by a registered person and request explanation for any discrepancy noticed. The procedure is operationalised through Form ASMT-10, which sets out the specific discrepancy and requires reply within thirty days. The Standard Operating Procedure issued by CBIC in March 2022 standardised the parameters on which Section 61 scrutiny is triggered — primarily GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B mismatch, GSTR-2A vs GSTR-3B Table 4 mismatch, RCM under-payment indicators, and turnover variance against external data sources such as ITR and TDS returns. The Pothur Thiruverkadu taxpayer receiving ASMT-10 must engage the discrepancy in substance — a defensible reply through Form ASMT-11 closes the proceeding, while a deficient reply escalates to Section 73 or 74.

ASMT-11 reply construction

The Form ASMT-11 reply must address each discrepancy item-by-item with documentary support — invoice copies, ledger extracts, bank statements, supplier confirmations, and reconciliation working papers. Where the discrepancy reflects a genuine error, the reply should disclose the error and confirm voluntary payment through DRC-03 with interest under Section 50. Where the discrepancy reflects a reporting timing difference that resolves over the year, the reply should set out the timing analysis with reference to subsequent return periods. Where the discrepancy reflects an interpretive position, the reply should articulate the position with reference to statute, notification and judicial precedent. The Pothur Thiruverkadu preparer should treat ASMT-11 as the primary opportunity to foreclose escalation, not merely as a procedural acknowledgement.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

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

Section 49

Section 49 of the CGST Act governs the electronic cash ledger, the electronic credit ledger and the order in which they are utilised for discharge of liability. Sub-section (5) prescribes the IGST-first set-off sequence and sub-section (10) permits inter-head transfer within the cash ledger through Form PMT-09.

Section 17(5)

Sub-section (5) of Section 17 enumerates input tax credit categories that are blocked irrespective of business nexus. Clauses (a) to (i) cover motor vehicles outside permitted use, food and beverages, beauty and health services, club memberships, life and health insurance, employee vacation travel, works contract on immovable property and personal consumption.

Section 9(3)

Sub-section (3) of Section 9 authorises the Government to notify categories of supplies on which the recipient, rather than the supplier, is liable to pay tax. Notified categories include advocate services, goods transport agency services, security services from non-body-corporate suppliers, sponsorship and director sitting fees.

Reverse Charge Mechanism

Reverse Charge Mechanism is the framework under Section 9(3) and 9(4) of the CGST Act and corresponding provisions of the IGST Act under which the recipient of supply discharges the tax liability instead of the supplier. The liability is paid through the electronic cash ledger and the credit, where eligible, is claimed in the same return.

QRMP Scheme

QRMP is the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme operationalised through Rule 61A available to a registered person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year does not exceed five crore rupees. Outward supply data and GSTR-3B are furnished quarterly; cash discharge is effected monthly through PMT-06.

Invoice Furnishing Facility

Invoice Furnishing Facility is the optional mechanism within the QRMP framework permitting a registered person to upload B2B invoice details for the first two months of a quarter. Counterparty input tax credit visibility through GSTR-2B is preserved without waiting for the quarterly statement of outward supplies.

PMT-06

PMT-06 is the challan used to deposit tax, interest, late fee and other amounts into the electronic cash ledger. Under QRMP it carries the monthly cash discharge for the first two months of a quarter through either the fixed-sum method or the self-assessment method, and otherwise functions as the universal payment challan.

PMT-09

PMT-09 is the form used to transfer balance between heads of the electronic cash ledger, such as CGST to IGST or major head to minor head. It is invoked where a payment was erroneously deposited in the wrong head or where the registered person wishes to reallocate cash balance ahead of GSTR-3B set-off.

Electronic Cash Ledger

Electronic Cash Ledger is the ledger maintained on the common portal under Section 49(1) credited by amounts deposited through PMT-06. It is debited for discharge of output tax, reverse-charge liability, interest, late fee and penalty. Reverse-charge tax under Section 9(3) is always discharged from this ledger.

Electronic Credit Ledger

Electronic Credit Ledger is the ledger maintained under Section 49(2) reflecting input tax credit availed through GSTR-3B. It is debited only for discharge of output tax in the manner prescribed under Section 49(4). Rule 86A enables temporary blocking and Rule 86B restricts utilisation to ninety-nine per cent of output liability for prescribed taxpayers.

Rule 36(4)

Sub-rule (4) of Rule 36, in its current form, restricts input tax credit to what is communicated to the recipient through GSTR-2B in terms of Section 16(2)(aa). The earlier provisional credit corridor under successive twenty per cent, ten per cent and five per cent caps was withdrawn upon insertion of clause (aa) effective 1 January 2022.

Rule 37

Rule 37 operationalises the second proviso to Section 16(2). Where consideration for an inward supply has not been paid to the supplier within one hundred and eighty days from the invoice date, the recipient is required to reverse the input tax credit availed, with interest. The credit is restored upon eventual payment.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Pothur Thiruverkadu

How the local trade mix shapes this — Pothur Thiruverkadu 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, small trade businesses that defines Pothur Thiruverkadu's commercial fabric.

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.
Coaching
Common issue: Coaching centres collecting advance fees for multi-month programmes typically treat the entire receipt as time-of-supply event under Section 13(2)(a) and pay tax upfront, foregoing the working-capital flexibility that the law actually permits when invoicing is deferred to the service-completion month for continuous supplies under Section 31(5).
How we handle it: Structure fee schedules as continuous supply of services under Section 31(5) with milestone-based invoicing tied to course progression; recognise time of supply at each milestone rather than at advance receipt; document the contractual structure in enrolment terms referenced in GSTR-9 turnover reconciliation.
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.
Auto Components
Common issue: Component suppliers using bonded warehouse arrangements for imported sub-assemblies sometimes report the customs IGST in GSTR-3B Table 4(A)(1) before the Bill of Entry is reflected in GSTR-2B import section. Section 16(2)(aa) read with Rule 36(4) successor requires the BoE entry to appear in GSTR-2B before credit is admissible.
How we handle it: Defer customs IGST credit to the return period in which the BoE appears in the import tab of GSTR-2B; cross-verify ICEGATE entries weekly against the customs portal; raise grievance through the GST portal where the BoE fails to flow within thirty days of the out-of-charge order.

QRMP PMT-06Retail

QRMP opted but advance tax under PMT-06 forgotten

Issue: A T Nagar saree retailer opted for the QRMP scheme thinking it meant 'pay quarterly'. He did not file PMT-06 for the first two months of the quarter — under Rule 61(2) the QRMP dealer must still pay monthly tax via PMT-06 (35% fixed sum or self-assessment), only the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are quarterly. Late fee and interest started accruing silently across the quarter.
Approach: Filed both pending PMT-06 challans with the fixed-sum method (35% of preceding quarter's cash payment), computed Section 50(1) interest at 18% pa on the cash leg only, filed the quarter-end GSTR-3B reconciling the advance payments. We also explained the scheme mechanics to the proprietor in writing — most QRMP defaults we see come from this exact confusion.
Outcome: Total interest exposure ₹4,200 on cash leg only; no late fee on PMT-06 since the statute prescribes none separately; client moved to the self-assessment method for subsequent months which suited the seasonal pattern better.
Aap and CoGarment trading

Aap and Co petition cited to resist GSTR-3B re-characterisation as a final return

Issue: A garment-trading concern in {{area_name}} received an ASMT-10 contending that figures in GSTR-3B were conclusive and any later credit restoration was impermissible. The dealer had reversed credit under Rule 36(4) in an earlier period when supplier filings were pending and had restored it on a later GSTR-2B appearance.
Approach: We relied on the Gujarat High Court order in Aap and Co v Union of India, which characterised GSTR-3B as a transactional return rather than an exhaustive substitute for the omitted GSTR-2, and traced the restored credit to its specific supplier GSTR-1 reflection. The ASMT-11 reply attached a period-by-period reversal-and-restoration ledger demonstrating that the net credit position over the financial year was within the GSTR-2B universe.
Outcome: Scrutiny dropped within forty days; the restored credit of approximately three lakh rupees stood.
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.

Common Questions

GST Returns FAQ — Pothur Thiruverkadu

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

Advances received for services are taxable on receipt under Section 13(2). The applicable GST is paid through GSTR-3B in the receipt month and the advance is later adjusted against the tax invoice on completion of supply.
Wrongful ITC claim attracts demand under Section 73 (no fraud) or Section 74 (fraud/wilful misstatement). Section 74 carries 100% penalty. For amounts above ₹5 crore prosecution under Section 132 with imprisonment up to 5 years is possible.
Yes. Every GST Returns engagement is handled with strict confidentiality — your documents and data are used only for your work and never shared. Pothur Thiruverkadu clients deal with the same trusted team throughout, so your information stays in one place.
Yes. B2B invoice amendments can be reported in Table 9A of GSTR-1 in any subsequent period up to the earliest of November of the following year or filing of GSTR-9. The amended values flow to the recipient's GSTR-2B.
No. Section 17(5) blocks ITC on food and beverages
Our GST Returns fees are fixed and shared in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case, not your location, so Pothur Thiruverkadu clients pay the same transparent rates as everyone else. See the pricing section above or call 9566-068-468 for an exact figure.
Under Section 47
GSTR-2B is a static auto-drafted ITC statement. Reviewing it ensures only matched eligible credits are claimed in GSTR-3B
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Pothur Thiruverkadu clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
GSTR-1 is a statement of outward supplies covering all sales invoices
A small trader or service provider with 30 to 80 sales invoices a month and similar purchase volume should budget about 500 rupees per filing on a basic engagement, which on a monthly cycle works out to roughly 12,000 rupees a year covering both GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. Add an annual GSTR-9 fee of 4,000 to 8,000 rupees depending on volume. If aggregate turnover crosses five crore, GSTR-9C self-certification adds another tier. What this fee should buy is full document handling, GSTR-2B reconciliation, RCM tracking, e-way bill review and a monthly summary. If a quoted fee covers only portal submission and the working is left to you, that is not really a compliance engagement.
You can attempt it, but small errors in GST Returns Filing often lead to notices, penalties or rejections that cost more to fix than to avoid. For Pothur Thiruverkadu clients we get it right the first time, which usually works out cheaper and far less stressful.
Yes. You may apply for cancellation in Form REG-16 if you have ceased business
Goods sent for job work under Section 143 are reported in ITC-04 quarterly. The job worker returns goods within 1 year (3 years for capital goods). Failure to receive back triggers deemed supply with tax liability.
The Calcutta High Court in Suncraft Energy v Assistant Commissioner held that ITC cannot be denied to a bona fide recipient solely on the ground of supplier default, where the recipient holds a valid tax invoice, has received the supply and discharged consideration including tax. The proper officer is required first to proceed against the defaulting supplier under Section 16(2)(c) and the recovery provisions, and only thereafter against the recipient if collusion or knowledge is established. The recipient should preserve invoice copies, e-way bills, transport documents, payment proof and ledger entries to invoke this defence. The position has been followed by other High Courts in suitable fact patterns.
