Annual return 2018-19

last date is sept 30. Annual return tab is muted. Reason is gstr1 not filed regularly. It was assumed that gstr1 to be filed quarterly. But by mistake gstr1 is filed part in monthly and rest quarterly. I doubt exercise of option to opt quarterly is forgotten! Now what is the way out? whether system will allow to file gstr1 for gap months of 18-19? Or what if annual return is not filed for 18-19?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses issues with filing the 2018-19 Annual Return, specifically when the GSTR1 tab is muted. The problem arises from inconsistent GSTR1 filing, mixing monthly and quarterly submissions, likely due to forgetting to opt for quarterly filing. The advice suggests contacting the GSTN help desk and clarifies that if GSTR1 wasn't officially opted for quarterly filing, the system may still allow filing for missed months, potentially as NIL returns if sales were already declared in subsequent filings.

You mentioned that " GSTR 1 is filed part in monthly and rest quarterly"....How it's possible.
If you Opted to file quarterlly, than you can not file it monthly_ GSTR1 tab disable/muted for all other months other than June,Sep,Dec,March.
If you filed monthly for any month, then after that you can not Choose quarterlly..

According to me " exercise of option to opt quarterly is forgotten! by client"..

Check that in F.Y 18-19_ GSTR1 tab for other month is disabled/muted or not..
Gstr1 for those non filing months is still open for filing. can we file now? Again there is risk of duplication as client has filed few returns monthly and later quarterly
GSTR 1 still open...it means " You have not exercised the option to file Return quarterly"

If you have filed your all detailed ( total sale) in filed GSTR 1(other than non filed), than you can file remaining GSTR 1 as NIL.

E.g.For F.Y 2018-19, GSTR 1 of Jan 19 & Feb 19 is non filed but total sale data of JAN- FEB- MARCh 19 already filed in March,19 return, than you can file Jan-feb NIL return (as sale of Jan-feb is already mentioned in March Return).
