What is GST Return Filing?
GST return filing is a monthly or quarterly declaration made by GST-registered businesses to the government, detailing their sales, purchases, tax collected, and input credit claimed. Returns must be filed online via the GST portal, and failure to do so may attract interest, penalties, or blocking of input credits.
Each GST-registered entity must file different types of returns based on its business activity, turnover, and compliance requirements. UrbanDox provides accurate and timely filing for all return types including GSTR-1 (sales), GSTR-3B (summary), GSTR-9 (annual), and more.
We help ensure every input credit is reconciled, returns are filed correctly, and your compliance status remains active — helping you avoid penalties and notices.
