This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you've received a 'Notice to return defaulter u/s 46' despite filing quarterly returns, don't panic. This notice might be issued in error if you've consistently submitted your NIL returns on time. You can often resolve this by replying to the notice, clarifying that you are a quarterly filer and have no outstanding defaults. This should prevent any unnecessary action, such as GSTIN cancellation.

25 August 2021 Hello Sir/Madam,

I got a notice today that said
"Notice to return defaulter u/s 46 for not filing return - July 2021 Return: GSTR3B"
It also said if such are not filed continuosuly for more than 6 months, gstin will be cancelled.

I file returns on quarterly basis and file NIL returns. I have correctly submitted quarterly GSTR3B for apr-June 2021. The next GSTR3B I have to submit is for quarter Jul-September 2021.

I'm not sure why I have got this notice that I have not submitted for July 2021. I only file quarterly and not monthly.

What should I do about this notice? Let me know please.

25 August 2021 Ignore the notice as you are regularly filing return. No default in your case.
You can also reply as you are quarterly return filer. No default in filing return.
