What exactly is GST return filing?
GST was implemented in India on July 1, 2017. Nearly 1 crore entities in India have obtained GST registration under the GST regime. Each entity with a GST registration must file GST returns. GST returns can be filed using software or the government’s self-service portal.
GST registration is required for all businesses that buy, sell, or deliver services worth more than Rs. 20 lakh in a calendar year, except in the north-eastern and hill states, where the limit is Rs. 10 lakh. GST return filing is required for all entities with GST registration, regardless of business activity, sales, or profitability during the return filing period, and even a dormant business with GST registration is required to file GST returns.
