GSTR 3B Due Date Return Filing For June 2025

A list of forms for GST filing has been introduced by the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC). GSTR 3B is the return summary the assessee must file regularly to present the details of sales, ITC claims, tax liability, refunds, etc, recorded on their GSTIN. Amongst the whole lot, Form GSTR 3B is crucial if you are enrolled under the GST regime. Beyond forms such as GSTR-1, GSTR-2, and GSTR-3 that you would file in September, you need to file the GSTR 3B monthly. This blog provides complete information about the filing of GSTR 3b due date, and monthly and quarterly details.

Overview of GSTR 3B Return Form

For taxpayers, Form GSTR-3B is a simplified summary return to declare and release their GST obligations for a particular tax duration. For each tax period, regular assesses are mandated to file GSTR-3B returns specifying their summary GST liabilities. The taxpayer must report the summary numbers of sales, ITC claimed, and net tax payable in GSTR 3B.

Once you submit GSTR-1, GSTR-2, and GSTR-3 forms for the corresponding months, after filing of GSTR 3B then the income tax department will match your claims against your monthly transaction reports. You may suffer if they do not discover the details of the invoice matching the preliminary data that has been submitted by you. Therefore, ensure you pay attention to your GSTR 3B filing and review all the details thoroughly before hitting the submit button.

Below are some essential points to note:

• For every GSTIN, a separate GSTR-3B should be filed.
• The GST obligation needs to be settled on or before the due date for filing GSTR-3B, whichever comes first.
• It is not feasible to file GSTR-3B once filed.
• GSTR-3B should get filed significantly despite having zero liability. 

Who Needs to File GSTR-3B Returns?

Every person must file GSTR-3B enrolled in GST. Even in regular intervals, the filing of these forms is obligatory whether your monthly transaction is nil or is not significant. But you do not need to file GSTR 3B if you are an input service distributor, a composition dealer, a supplier of online information and database access or retrieval services (OIDAR), or a non-resident taxable Indian.

The below-mentioned registrants are not required to file GSTR-3B

• Taxpayers registered under the Composition Scheme
• Input service distributors
• Non-resident suppliers of OIDAR service
• Non-resident taxable persons

What is the method to compute GST?

The GST consolidates all other taxes, making manual calculations a complex endeavour. As an assessee, while computing GST related to your GSTIN, you would be required to follow a list of charges. Beginning from reverse charges, exempted supplies charges, and inter-state sales charges, along with the eligible and non-eligible ITC. Simply, your GST obligation is a total of GST subject to get paid on reverse charge, inward supplies, and outward supplies.

This amount is calculated separately for each month that you report using the GSTR 3B form and subsequently pay according to the specified due dates. You can also utilize a GST calculator to simplify and streamline your GST calculations.

• GSTIN: The GST Identification Number of the taxpayer.
• Legal Name of the Registered Person: The taxpayer’s name as stated in their GST registration certificate.
• Outward Supplies details: All outward supplies made during the tax year are described in detail in this section. Supplies to consumers, exports, and taxable supplies are only a few of the divisions.

1. In the state of tax liability, late fees for late filing of GSTR-3B are Rs 25 (CGST) and Rs 25 (SGST), i.e. Total of Rs 50 per day.
2. In the state of nil liability, late fees for late filing of GSTR-3B are Rs 10 (CGST) and Rs 10 (SGST), i.e. Total of Rs 20 per day.

In case any tax is payable	Maximum cap of Rs 250 (CGST) and Rs 250 (SGST), thatis Rs 500 per return

4. The person in point 3 is not eligible for an input tax credit for the years 2017–18 or 2018–19 because the deadline for both years has passed, necessitating full payment of taxes in cash.

Licensed GST Taxpayers who do not pay their taxes by the due date that was postponed will also be required to pay a 9% annual late charge, which is just half the current interest rate of 18%.

For instance, if you lose to pay your taxes on or before the due date, you will have to pay an additional 1000*09/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.24 per day without relaxation, at 18% it was 1000*18/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.49 per day as the late fee, interest, or penalty.

• Rs. 1000 is the tax liability amount
• 1 is the number of delayed days and 
• 18 is the rate of interest (annual).

However, if a taxpayer fails to submit their return within the specified due dates mentioned earlier, they will incur a late fee of Rs. If applicable, 50 per day (Rs. 25 per day in CGST and Rs. 25 per day in SGST). Additionally, a late fee of Rs. 20 per day (Rs. 10 per day in each CGST and SGST) applies in cases of Nil tax liability. The interest can accrue to a maximum of Rs. 5000, calculated from the due date until the return submission date.

Recognizing the burden on taxpayers, both the central government and the GST council have taken steps to alleviate it. The first measure involves reducing the interest rate by half and waiving the late fees for GSTR 3B filings in August and September. It’s worth noting that if taxpayers have already paid late fees, the amount will be refunded to their ledger.
