Filing of GSTR3B Mandatory upto March 2018
All entities having GST registration, irrespective of turnover are required to file GSTR3B return every month on or before the 20th day for upto the month of March 2018. GSTR 3B return was introduced by the Government to simplify GST return filing until the full-fledged rollout of GSTR1, GSTR2 and GSTR3 return. Since the rollout of GSTR2 and GSTR3 returns have been postponed, the Government has decided to mandate the filing of GSTR3B return every month for all entities having GST registration. Hence, along with filing GSTR 3B return, all taxpayers having GST registration are required to pay liability towards tax, interest, penalty, fees or any other amount payable before the 20th of every month.
