GST registration and return filing, handled end to end

GST compliance is unforgiving about deadlines: late filing attracts a per-day late fee plus 18% interest on tax paid late, and persistent non-filing leads to e-way bill blocking and cancellation proceedings. Equally costly, but less visible, is input tax credit lost because purchases were never reconciled against GSTR-2B. This service exists to make both problems disappear.

What’s covered

  • Registration: new GST registration with correct business details, HSN/SAC selection and place-of-business documentation; amendments; and replies to registration queries (including clarification notices). Guidance on whether you actually need registration given the threshold and your supply type.
  • Return filing: GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly, or quarterly under QRMP where eligible — prepared from your sales/purchase data (Tally, Excel, or even organised bill photos), reviewed, and filed with your OTP.
  • ITC reconciliation: purchases matched against GSTR-2B every month before credit is claimed, so ineligible or unmatched credit doesn’t create future demands — and missing supplier invoices are chased while they can still be fixed.
  • Annual returns (GSTR-9/9C where applicable), LUT for exporters, composition scheme management, and cancellation/final return when a business closes.

The monthly rhythm

You (or your accountant) share the month’s data once; you receive the prepared summary for approval; returns are filed on time, every time, with acknowledgements shared. No more deadline anxiety on the 11th and 20th.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need GST registration?

Broadly: ₹40 lakh turnover for goods and ₹20 lakh for services in Karnataka, with important exceptions (interstate supply, e-commerce, reverse charge). A short conversation settles it definitively.

My returns are pending for several months.

Pending returns can be brought current; late fees are computed upfront so there are no surprises, and cancellation proceedings can usually be averted if acted on early.

My supplier hasn't uploaded my invoice — can I claim the credit?

Credit is available only when it reflects in GSTR-2B. The right move is structured supplier follow-up and claiming in the correct period — handled as part of the monthly reconciliation.

Can you work with my existing accountant?

Yes. Many clients keep in-house data entry; the review, reconciliation and filing layer is handled here.
