This query is : Resolved

24 May 2018 Dear Sir/Madam,
GSTR-7 is to be filed for Tax deductions at source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8xCAwWXqGU i hope this link may be useful to you

03 August 2025 Great question! Here’s a quick breakdown related to GST returns and local authorities or TAN-based registrations:

---

### 1. **Normal GST returns for regular taxpayers:**

* **GSTR-3B:** Monthly summary return for outward supplies and input tax credit.
* **GSTR-1:** Monthly/quarterly return for details of outward supplies.

---

### 2. **What about TAN-based registrations (like local authorities)?**

* **TAN-based GST registrations** are usually for **Government entities, local authorities, and other notified persons**.
* For such entities, the returns to be filed **depend on the nature of supplies made by them**.

---

### 3. **Which GST return applies to local authorities or TAN-based entities?**

* **If the entity is a normal taxable person supplying goods/services**, then **GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B** are applicable as usual.
* **If the entity deducts tax at source (TDS),** then it needs to file **GSTR-7** (Return for TDS deductors).
* **If the entity deducts tax at source (TCS),** then it needs to file **GSTR-8** (Return for e-commerce operators collecting TCS).

---

### 4. **Summary:**

| Type of Entity/Activity | GST Return to be filed |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Normal local authority (supplier) | GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B |
| Local authority deducting TDS | GSTR-7 |
| Local authority collecting TCS | GSTR-8 |

---

### So, **for TAN-based registrations**, it depends:

* **If they are just suppliers** — file **GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B**.
* **If they deduct TDS on payments** — file **GSTR-7**.
* **If they collect TCS (rare for local authorities)** — file **GSTR-8**.

---

If you tell me the exact nature of supplies or role of the local authority, I can guide you better!
