15 January 2022 Dear Sir/Madam,
As a normal tax payer opted monthly return. In first filing of GSTR-3B, the GSTR-2B not generated till date. (15.01.2022) for the month of December-2021. There is no any purchase or sales in the month of Dec-21. (Very first return with nil return). Please advise to filing the GSTR-3B. May I file the GSTR3B without generation of GSTR-2B?
Please Advice.
Ravichandran

15 January 2022 Yes you can file GSTR 3B without GSTR 2B because you don't want to claim any ITC.

Further, the GSTR 2B is now available for December 2021

16 January 2022 If there is no entry in GSTR-2B it does not get generated. That means that you dont have any ITC to be claimed for that month. File GSTR-3B as nil
