GST Consultant in Gurgaon for Registration, Return Filing & Compliance

GST registration is mandatory when annual aggregate turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh for suppliers of goods or ₹20 lakh for service providers. The threshold does not apply to inter-state suppliers, ecommerce sellers, and persons liable under reverse charge they must register from day one, regardless of turnover.

A clean application is typically approved in 7–10 working days after Aadhaar authentication. Applications flagged for address verification or issued a REG-03 clarification query can take 3–4 weeks. Accurate, matching address documents are the single biggest factor in approval speed.

Yes. You need a notarized rent/service agreement, a No Objection Certificate from the property owner, and a recent utility bill matching the premises. The Gurugram CGST Commissionerate scrutinizes such addresses closely, so documents must be consistent to the letter.

GSTR-1 reports invoice-level outward sales and passes ITC to your buyers; it is due by the 11th of the following month. GSTR-3B is the monthly summary return where you declare total liability, claim ITC, and pay tax; it is due by the 20th.

GSTR-2B is a static, auto-generated ITC statement produced on the 14th of every month from your suppliers’ GSTR-1 filings. Under Rule 36(4), you can only claim ITC that appears in GSTR-2B so if a supplier files late, your credit is blocked until it appears.

The Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme lets taxpayers with turnover up to ₹5 crore file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly while paying tax monthly through Form PMT-06. It reduces filing frequency from 24 returns a year to 8, plus monthly payments.

Yes. Nil returns are mandatory for every registered taxpayer. Failure to file attracts a late fee of ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST), subject to caps, and continued non-filing can lead to registration cancellation.

The portal automatically charges a late fee of ₹50 per day (₹20 for Nil returns), subject to statutory caps, plus interest at 18% per annum on unpaid cash tax liability. Late GSTR-1 filing also blocks your buyers’ ITC, damaging business relationships.

No. GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 cannot be revised once filed. Corrections must be made through amendments in subsequent months’ returns, which makes pre-filing reconciliation critical.

Input Tax Credit (ITC) is the GST you paid on business purchases, which you offset against GST collected on sales. To claim it, you need a valid tax invoice, actual receipt of goods or services, the invoice reflected in your GSTR-2B, and payment to the vendor within 180 days.

Section 17(5) prohibits ITC on specific expenses even when used for business including motor vehicles (with exceptions), food and beverages, club memberships, personal-use goods, and works-contract services for immovable property. Claiming blocked credit is a common notice trigger.

Under Section 16(4), pending ITC for a financial year must be claimed by 30 November of the following financial year or the date of filing the annual return, whichever is earlier. Credit not claimed by then lapses permanently.

The most common triggers are mismatches between GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B, differences between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, E-Way Bill errors, blocked ITC claims under Section 17(5), and address or registration discrepancies. Most notices are system-generated from automated data matching.

Verify the notice in the portal’s “View Additional Notices” section, identify the exact discrepancy, prepare a reply in Form DRC-06 with reconciliations and supporting evidence, and file within 30 days. A personal hearing can be requested. Professional drafting substantially improves outcomes at this stage.

Businesses with annual aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore must file GSTR-9C, a self-certified reconciliation statement matching audited financial statements with the GSTR-9 annual return. Both are due by 31 December following the financial year end.

E-invoicing is mandatory for businesses whose aggregate turnover exceeded ₹5 crore in any preceding financial year. Every B2B invoice must be registered on the Invoice Registration Portal to generate an IRN and QR code before issue.

An E-Way Bill is required for movement of goods worth more than ₹50,000. Details must match the invoice exactly value, HSN, vehicle number, and validity period. Errors can result in detention of goods and penalties under Section 129.

Sellers on marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart generally require GST registration regardless of turnover, because marketplace operators must collect TCS. The TCS collected reflects in your portal ledger and can be claimed as credit against liability.

No exports are zero-rated. Exporters can either export without tax under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) and claim refund of input-side ITC, or pay IGST on exports and claim it back as a refund. The right route depends on your working capital position.

Yes. GST is state-jurisdiction based. A Gurgaon business operating a warehouse or branch in another state needs a separate GSTIN there, even under the same PAN  a key consideration for ecommerce and D2C brands using multi-state fulfillment.
