Enter sales data, ITC claimed, and pay net tax via the Electronic Cash Ledger. Submit with DSC or EVC. Patron's Pune office at RTC Silver, Wagholi handles the entire process online.

What are the due dates for GST returns in Pune?

GSTR-1 is due by the 11th of every month (13th after quarter for QRMP filers). GSTR-3B is due by the 20th monthly (22nd after quarter for Maharashtra QRMP filers - State Group 1). GSTR-9 annual return is due by 31 December. GSTR-9C reconciliation (turnover above Rs 5 crore) is also due by 31 December. Late filing attracts Rs 50 per day plus 18% interest.

What is the late fee for GST return filing?

Late fee under Section 47 is Rs 50 per day per return (Rs 25 CGST + Rs 25 SGST) for returns with tax liability, capped at Rs 5,000. For nil returns, Rs 20 per day (Rs 10 + Rs 10). Additionally, interest at 18% per annum on unpaid tax from the day after due date. Late fees must be paid in cash - ITC cannot be used.

What is the QRMP scheme and can Pune businesses use it?

The Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme allows GST-registered businesses with turnover up to Rs 5 crore to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly instead of monthly. Maharashtra is State Group 1, so quarterly GSTR-3B is due by the 22nd of the month after the quarter. Monthly tax payments via PMT-06 by the 25th. Invoice Furnishing Facility allows optional monthly B2B upload.

Must I file GST return even if there is no business activity?

Yes. Every GST-registered person must file nil returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) even with zero sales, purchases or tax liability. Non-filing attracts Rs 20 per day late fee (capped at Rs 5,000) and can lead to registration cancellation after consecutive defaults.

GST Returns in Pune - Overview

📌 TL;DR - GST Returns in Pune Services at a Glance

GST returns are periodic filings that every GST-registered business must submit on gst.gov.in declaring sales, purchases, tax collected, ITC claimed, and net tax payable. Pune businesses file GSTR-1 (outward supplies) by the 11th and GSTR-3B (summary + tax payment) by the 20th of every month. Annual return GSTR-9 is due by 31 December. Late filing attracts Rs 50 per day (Rs 20 for nil) plus 18% interest on unpaid tax.

Pune is one of Maharashtra's largest GST revenue centres, with over 3 lakh registered GSTINs spanning the Hinjewadi-Kharadi IT corridor, the Chakan-Talegaon auto manufacturing belt, the Pune Camp-Swargate trading hub, MIDC Bhosari's industrial zone, and a growing D2C e-commerce ecosystem in Baner and Koregaon Park. The CGST Commissionerate Pune-I and Pune-II and Maharashtra SGST Pune Division jointly administer GST compliance. Learn more about GST Returns across India.

Late filing doesn't just attract penalties - it blocks your buyers' Input Tax Credit, disrupts supply chain relationships, and can trigger scrutiny notices from CGST Pune. Whether you are a Chakan manufacturer under QRMP or a Hinjewadi IT company managing multi-GSTIN returns, accurate filing is a non-negotiable monthly discipline. Patron Accounting's Pune office handles the complete cycle via gst.gov.in. For new registrations, see GST Registration in Pune.

What Are GST Returns?

A GST return is a periodic document filed on the GST portal (gst.gov.in) by every registered taxpayer, declaring outward supplies (sales), inward supplies (purchases), tax collected, ITC claimed, and net GST payable or refundable under the CGST Act, 2017.

The system comprises: GSTR-1 (invoice-level outward supply details, due 11th monthly), GSTR-3B (self-declared summary with tax payment, due 20th monthly), GSTR-9 (annual consolidation, due 31 December), and GSTR-9C (self-certified reconciliation for turnover above Rs 5 crore). QRMP filers submit quarterly with monthly PMT-06 payments.

For Pune's ecosystem - where Hinjewadi IT companies generate inter-state service invoices, MIDC Bhosari manufacturers handle complex input credits, and Pune Camp traders process thousands of B2B invoices - GST returns are the backbone of compliance. From July 2025, auto-populated GSTR-3B liability from GSTR-1 is hard-locked, and returns cannot be filed more than 3 years late - making accurate filing critical. Related: GST Notice handling in Pune.

Key Terms for GST Returns in Pune:

GSTR-1: Monthly/quarterly return for outward supply details, due by the 11th
GSTR-3B: Monthly summary return with tax payment, due by the 20th
GSTR-9: Annual return consolidating the full financial year, due 31 December
QRMP: Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme for turnover up to Rs 5 crore
ITC: Input Tax Credit - GST on purchases set off against GST on sales
PMT-06: Monthly estimated tax payment for QRMP filers in first 2 months of quarter

CGST Pune Commissionerate I & II

Who Must File GST Returns in Pune?

Every GST-Registered Business - Filing is mandatory regardless of business activity. Even zero-transaction months require nil returns. Non-filing for consecutive periods triggers registration cancellation under Section 29.

IT Companies at Hinjewadi and Kharadi with inter-state service contracts file monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. Companies with multi-state GSTINs file 6-10 returns per month. Related: Pvt Ltd Company Compliance.

Manufacturers at MIDC Bhosari and Chakan with turnover up to Rs 5 crore can opt for QRMP (quarterly filing). Maharashtra is State Group 1 - GSTR-3B due by 22nd after quarter.

Traders at Pune Camp and Swargate filing high B2B volumes must ensure GSTR-1 accuracy as it directly impacts buyers' ITC through auto-population. Composition Dealers file CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually. Exporters must file monthly returns with proper Table 6A declarations for refund processing.

Our Process

GST Return Filing Process in Pune

Our Pune CA team manages the entire GST return filing cycle - from data compilation to portal submission and annual return preparation.

Step 1

Compile Sales and Purchase Data

Gather all sales invoices (B2B, B2C, exports, SEZ), purchase invoices with GST, and debit/credit notes. For Hinjewadi IT companies, classify by place of supply (IGST for inter-state, CGST+SGST for intra-Maharashtra). For MIDC Bhosari manufacturers, separate raw material, capital goods and job work. Pune Camp traders reconcile sales registers with e-invoicing data. Patron collects data via cloud-shared folders.

Data compiledPlace-of-supply classified

Compiled01

Step 2

Reconcile ITC with GSTR-2A/2B

Before filing GSTR-3B, reconcile ITC available in GSTR-2A/2B (auto-populated from vendors' GSTR-1) against ITC you intend to claim. Identify missing invoices, excess claims and ineligible ITC. For Pune businesses with 50+ vendors, this is time-intensive but critical. From July 2025, GSTR-3B liability is hard-locked from GSTR-1.

ITC reconciledMismatches identified

ITC Clean02

Step 3

File GSTR-1 by the 11th of Each Month

Log in to gst.gov.in, upload invoice-level data. B2B invoices include buyer GSTIN, invoice number, taxable value and GST rate. B2C reported in aggregate. Export invoices in Table 6A. For Chakan manufacturers, ensure e-way bill numbers align with declarations. QRMP filers submit quarterly (by 13th) with optional IFF for monthly B2B upload.

Step 4

File GSTR-3B by the 20th of Each Month

Declare total outward supplies, inter-state supplies, ITC claimed and net tax payable. Pay tax via Electronic Cash Ledger before submission. Maharashtra QRMP filers: quarterly deadline is 22nd after quarter. Patron's Pune office files after cross-verifying all liability and ITC figures against GSTR-1 data.

Step 5

Make Monthly Tax Payments (QRMP Filers)

QRMP taxpayers in Pune make monthly estimated tax payments via PMT-06 by the 25th in the first two months of each quarter. Payment based on previous quarter's liability (35% method) or actual liability. Ensures cash flow to government while reducing filing burden for smaller MIDC and Chakan manufacturers.

Step 6

File GSTR-9/9C Annual Return by 31 December

After FY ends (31 March), compile all monthly data into annual return GSTR-9. For turnover above Rs 5 crore, additionally file GSTR-9C (self-certified reconciliation with audited financial statements). Patron's CA team prepares alongside statutory audit ensuring consistency between tax and financial data.

Documents Required for GST Return Filing in Pune

Sales Invoices: All B2B and B2C invoices with buyer GSTIN (B2B), HSN/SAC codes, taxable value and GST rate.

Pune-specific tip: Hinjewadi IT companies should maintain a place-of-supply register. MIDC Bhosari manufacturers should keep job work challans aligned with return data. Pune Camp traders should reconcile e-invoicing data with GSTR-1 before filing.
