What is GSTR-3B return and why is it important to submit it on time?
GSTR-3B is a simplified summary return submitted by a company registered with the GST system.
This return – submitted using Form GSTR-3B – enables the assessor to report their tax liabilities to the relevant authorities, outline sales, input tax credit (ITC) claims and net tax payable.
This return does not include invoice level details.
All registered GST taxpayers are required to submit their returns.
Timely submission ensures compliance, transparency and seamless ITC utilization, avoiding interest or penalties.
