📢 GST Due Date Alert: GSTR-3B Filing for February 2025 🚨

Timely compliance with GST regulations is crucial for businesses to avoid penalties and maintain seamless operations. One of the most important GST return filings is GSTR-3B, a mandatory summary return for taxpayers.

For February 2025 transactions, the due date to file GSTR-3B is 20th March 2025.

📌 What is GSTR-3B?

GSTR-3B is a self-declared summary return that includes details of:

✔️ Outward supplies (sales)
✔️ Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed
✔️ Net tax payable after ITC adjustment
✔️ Payment of GST dues

It is filed monthly or quarterly, depending on the taxpayer’s eligibility under GST regulations.

🔹 Who Should File GSTR-3B for February 2025?

The following taxpayers are required to file GSTR-3B by 20th March 2025:

✅ Regular taxpayers with an annual turnover exceeding ₹5 crore in the previous financial year (FY 2023-24).

✅ Taxpayers who have NOT opted for the QRMP (Quarterly Return Monthly Payment) scheme for the January–March 2025 quarter.

📍 QRMP Scheme: What You Need to Know

The QRMP scheme allows taxpayers with a turnover of up to ₹5 crore to file GSTR-3B quarterly instead of monthly. However, they must make monthly tax payments using PMT-06 by the 25th of each month.

If you are under the QRMP scheme, this 20th March deadline does not apply to you, as your quarterly filing for Jan–Mar 2025 will be due on 22nd April or 24th April 2025, depending on your state.

⚠️ Consequences of Late Filing

Failure to file GSTR-3B on time can result in:

❌ Late Fees: ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) for regular taxpayers, and ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST) for NIL filers.

❌ Interest Charges: 18% per annum on the outstanding tax amount.

❌ Restricted ITC Claim: Non-compliance can impact ITC claims and disrupt cash flow.

This mechanism helps avoid double taxation and ensures a seamless flow of credit through the value chain. However, the GST law also prescribes certain situations where ITC cannot be claimed . These restrictions are outlined in Section 17(5) of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017 .
