GSTR-3B is a self-declaration form under GST. Unlike other GST forms, Taxpayers need not provide any invoice details while filing GSTR-3B returns.
As per the recent 37th GST council meeting, the GSTR 3B filing is extended till March 2020 for taxpayers. This has given a much relief to the community which ease them to file their consolidated return at a single place.
Delays or non-filing of GSTR-3B returns will attract a penalty. Taxpayers are not required to file the GSTR 3B form manually.
It is auto-filling by nature. Only sales and purchase values have to be provided by the taxpayer. The Tax Liabilities are before submission. GSTR 3B due dates are mentioned at the bottom while it must be filed every 20th of subsequent month.
On account of the recent updates on the GSTN portal, taxpayers can file the GSTR 3B more easily and quickly than ever before. In a major relief move, the taxpayer who files nil returns now need to file a simple return form with minimum details. Post the implementation of the new functionality. Nil Return Taxpayers are freed of the erstwhile extra details that had to be provided.
GST mandates the filing of GSTR 3B even by those taxpayers with nil returns. GSTR 3B is the monthly self-declaration form that has to be filed by all taxpayers irrespective of the returns.
The details that have to be furnished in the GSTR 3B form include:
- Details of sales and purchase made by the registered taxpayer.
- Liable Input Tax Credit
- Liable Tax
- Tax Paid
Some taxpayers are exempted from filing the GSTR-3B form under the GST. These taxpayers include:
- Composition Suppliers and Input Service Distributors
- Suppliers of OIDAR
- TDS Deductors
- TCS Collector
Under the GST norms, failure or delay in filing GSTR 3B will attract fine. Dealy will attract a fine of Rs 50 per day whereas Taxpayers with Nil Tax Liability will be fined Rs 20.

Hi!
Could any one tell me why does this warning appear on filing gstr 3b return that late fee will be added in the next month.
Please note –
1) We have opted for quarterly filing of GSTR-1
2) This GSTR 3B return was filed for August 2019.
3) It is filed today i.e. 20th September 2019.
Why this warning appears mostly on month before the quarter filing is due. In this case it is next month i.e. OCT (for period of Jul to Sep)
September 23, 2019
this message says that “in case if any late fee is applicable because of delay in filing returns for that month/quarter, then late fee for that particular month/quarter will be reflected in next month GSTR -3B”

July 2, 2019
My client has not filed GST-3b from Dec-2017 onwards. So should the delay in number of days be counted from 31/03/2019 onwards or from the due dates of the respective months onwards subject to a max of 5000 CGST and 5000 SGST
July 3, 2019
late fee is applicable from the due dates of the respective returns in your case and not from 31.03.2019 since waiver was only when the assessee has filed pending returns during the period beginning from 22 Dec 2018 and ending on 31st March 2019.

You can apply for revocation for cancellation of registration by filling GST REG 21. If your cancellation order has been passed before 31/03/2019, then the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is providing a “one-time opportunity” to apply for revocation of cancellation of GST registration by July 22, 2019, for those entities for whom cancellation order has been passed up to March 31, 2019 provided where the registration has been cancelled with effect from the date of the order, all returns due till the date of such cancellation are required to be furnished before the revocation application is filed. In cases where the registration has been cancelled with retrospective effect, the CBIC has allowed filing of revocation application, subject to the condition that all returns relating to the period from the effective date of cancellation till the date of revocation order will be filed within a period of 30 days from the date of the revocation order.
