Tax payers can see status of returns filed on GSTN portal

Tax payers can now view the status of the returns filed by them on the GST Network portal, the company handling the technology backbone of the new indirect tax system said today.

"All users logging on the GST portal can now see the status of their returns filed for all the returns like GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B at one place," GSTN CEO Prakash Kumar said.

While GSTR-3B is in the initial sales returns filed by the 20th day of the succeeding month, GSTR-1 is the final sales return.

Businesses with turnover of up to Rs 1.5 crore have been allowed quarterly filing of GSTR-3B and the same for July- September period will have to be filed by December 31.

Those with turnover exceeding Rs 1.5 crore will have to file GSTR-1 for July-October by December 31.
