Gst return

I got registered in GST in April and after registering I issued a tax invoice for the services rendered in March in April charging GST.

So I want to know

1) whether I can charge GST for the services rendered in March when I was not registered but the invoice is dated after I got registered?

2)since the services were rendered in March but invoice was issued in April .In GST return  The sale should be should be of which month , March or April???

3)As per accounting method the services are of March month but invoiced in April which should be  included  in gross receipts of FY 17-18 and party as debtor but what should be the date of entry in books of accounts??

please tell date of issue of invoice ,date of provision of service ,date of reciept of payment

also read section 13 ie time of supply of services
Services were rendered from 3rd March to 31st March ( continuous basis). GST number was received from 4th April, Invoice for March was issued on 7th April Receipt of amount is still pending
[2] The time of supply of services shall be the earliest of the following dates, namely:-

[a] the date of issue of invoice by the supplier, if the invoice is issued within the period prescribed under sub-section [2] of Section 31 or the date of receipt of payment, whichever is earlier;

you will have to pay gst as per this section
Since the receiver is already bankrupt and there are no chances of recovery of payment shall I pay GST
since service is provided ,invoice has issued it is liabilty to pay gst

because u have issued invoice in april and april gstr 3b will be filed till may 20 so u can issue him credit note and reverse in books and then u will not have to pay gst if u know that no payment will be recieved
Thank you for the help
