GST Due Date Alert – IFF for August 2025
Staying compliant under GST is one of the most important responsibilities for every taxpayer. For small taxpayers who have opted for the Quarterly Return Filing and Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme, the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) plays a vital role in ensuring smooth credit flow to their buyers and maintaining compliance with GST laws.
For the month of August 2025, the due date for filing IFF is 13th September 2025.
π What is IFF under GST?
The Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) is an optional facility available to small registered taxpayers under the QRMP scheme. While such taxpayers file GSTR-1 quarterly, the IFF allows them to upload details of their outward supplies (B2B invoices, credit/debit notes, etc.) on a monthly basis.
This helps:
-
Ensure buyers can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) without waiting for a full quarter.
-
Maintain smoother compliance for businesses engaged in frequent B2B transactions.
-
Avoid mismatches or disputes related to delayed ITC availability.
π Due Date for IFF – August 2025
-
Period: August 2025
-
Due Date: 13th September 2025
-
Applies To: Small taxpayers under the QRMP scheme.
Timely submission of IFF ensures your buyers can view your invoices in GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B for claiming ITC without delays.
✅ Why Filing IFF on Time Matters
Filing IFF by the due date provides several benefits:
-
Boosts Buyer Confidence
Buyers can see invoices uploaded through IFF instantly, enabling faster ITC claims. -
Reduces Quarterly Burden
Uploading invoices monthly ensures fewer invoices to upload when filing the quarterly GSTR-1. -
Ensures ITC Continuity
Timely filing ensures seamless ITC availability for your clients, improving business relationships. -
Prevents ITC Mismatches
Filing invoices monthly reduces the risk of mismatches between buyer and seller records.
π¨ Consequences of Delayed Filing
Although IFF is optional, failure to furnish invoices on time may lead to:
-
Buyers facing delays in claiming ITC.
-
Reduced business credibility if your clients depend on timely ITC availability.
-
Compliance stress during quarterly GSTR-1 filing.
Hence, timely filing is strongly recommended to maintain smooth GST compliance.
π Example Scenario
π A small business under QRMP sells goods to multiple B2B clients in August 2025.
π If the business files invoices using IFF by 13th September 2025, clients can immediately see these invoices in GSTR-2B and claim ITC in their September GST return.
π Without IFF filing, the clients would need to wait until October (quarterly GSTR-1 filing), causing cash flow challenges.
This demonstrates how important IFF filing is in building trust and keeping clients happy.
