GSTR 1 Filing under QRMP Scheme for Jan-March 2021



Quick Summary
Taxpayers using the QRMP scheme for the January-March 2021 quarter need to be aware of specific filing procedures for GSTR 1. The Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) for the first two months is optional and has a strict deadline. Any documents saved but not filed in the IFF for January or February 2021 must be handled correctly before filing the quarterly GSTR 1. This may involve deleting and re-adding saved records or filing submitted IFFs before the quarterly submission.

Hence, before filing of GSTR-1 for Jan-Mar-2021 quarter, the taxpayer must ensure that:
