What is GSTR 3B?

GSTR-3B is a self-declared summary GST return filed every month (quarterly for the  QRMP scheme ). Taxpayers need to report the summary figures of sales, ITC claimed, and net tax payable in GSTR-3B.
  • A separate GSTR-3B must be filed for every GSTIN
  • The GST liability must be paid on or before the date of filing GSTR-3B, earlier of its due date
  • The GSTR-3B once filed cannot be revised
  • Even in case of a zero liability, GSTR-3B must be compulsorily filed
