GST return filing

I have obtained GSTIN two weeks ago. I have not made any purchase since then. Do I need to still file return? As my local CA told that I need to file return every month even if I dont make any purchases.

As per sec 39(8), every regd person who is reqd to furnish a return shall furnish it for every tax period whether or not any supplies have been made.

Thank you for your reply Ma'am. But as I can see on my GST portal Dashboard, All the liability column is ₹0.

It will show  something if you upload the details of inward and outward supplies...

Dear Saloni,

I have a question about  Input Tax Credit on GST

I have purchase some stationary item in Cash /Cheque  but the seller didnot  mention our GSTN  in the Invoice  .  it is possible for input tax credit 

Yes Ma'am but as of now we have not made any kind of inward or outward. Please suggest

Ask vendor to update it before he files his return.

Otherwise you won;t be able to claim ITC...(if he is regd)

If he is not regd, pay under RCM

Thank you for reply Ma'am. And sorry to bother you again.. It means I dont have to do any return filing process online/offline. Right?

Dear, you will have to submit the return but no details to be filled in it if no transactions done..

Thank you for so good information Ma'am
