15 August 2025 Nil return filing is mandatory from the date of GST registration—even with no transactions. Failure to do so constitutes non-compliance.
Late fees apply: Nil GSTR-3B attracts approximately ₹20/day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST) subject to cap.
E-way bill and future GSTR-1 filings may get blocked if GSTR-3B is not filed timely.
GST registration may be canceled if returns for six continuous months remain unfiled—leading to possible show cause notices or forced cancellation.
Important deadline: Starting 1 July 2025, GST returns older than three years from the due date cannot be filed at all (i.e., they will be time-barred). Review and complete pending filings for periods from after Oct-2023 while still possible.
Suggested Next Steps:
Check your GST portal dashboard for pending returns (e.g., months from Nov-2023 onward).
File nil GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 returns for all pending periods.
Pay the applicable late fees and interest if any defaults are detected.
Keep updated with the July 2025 time-barred compliance deadline, ensuring all returns within the three-year window are completed timely.
