📅 GST Return Reminder – GSTR-1 for October 2025

Staying compliant with GST filing deadlines is essential for every registered business in India. One of the most important returns under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system is GSTR-1, which provides the summary of all outward supplies (sales) made by a taxpayer during a particular month or quarter.

For the month of October 2025, the due date to file GSTR-1 is 11th November 2025. Businesses must ensure timely submission to avoid penalties, interest, or disruptions in their GST compliance status.

🧾 What Is GSTR-1?

GSTR-1 is a monthly or quarterly return that contains detailed information about all outward supplies of goods and services made by a registered taxpayer. Essentially, it is the sales return under GST.

It captures the following details:

  • Invoices issued to registered and unregistered customers

  • Debit and credit notes issued during the period

  • Export sales and zero-rated supplies

  • Amendments or corrections made to previous returns

The data filed in GSTR-1 directly reflects in the recipient’s GSTR-2A/GSTR-2B, allowing them to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) based on these details. Hence, accuracy and timely filing of GSTR-1 are critical for both suppliers and recipients.

📊 Who Should File GSTR-1?

Every GST-registered taxpayer is required to file GSTR-1, except those who fall under specific exemptions such as composition scheme dealers or non-resident taxable persons.

For October 2025, GSTR-1 must be filed by:

  1. Businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore:
    These taxpayers are required to file GSTR-1 monthly by the 11th of the following month.

  2. Businesses not opted for the QRMP scheme:
    Even if the turnover is below ₹5 crore, if a business has not chosen the Quarterly Return Filing and Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme for the October–December 2025 quarter, they must file GSTR-1 monthly.

📆 Important Due Date: 11th November 2025

For the October 2025 tax period, the due date to file GSTR-1 is 11th November 2025.

Missing this deadline can have significant consequences such as:

  • Late fees under GST law

  • Blocking of e-way bill generation

  • Delay in customers claiming input tax credit

  • Risk of compliance rating downgrades

Hence, filing on or before the due date ensures your business remains in good standing and avoids unnecessary compliance hurdles.

⚙️ Information Required for GSTR-1 Filing

To prepare your GSTR-1 accurately, make sure you have the following details ready:

  • Invoice details for all outward supplies (B2B and B2C)

  • Debit and credit notes

  • Details of export invoices

  • Amendments made to previous period invoices

  • HSN/SAC codes for goods and services supplied

  • Nil-rated and exempted sales details

Businesses can upload this data using their GST portal login or through approved GST return filing software.

💡 Key Benefits of Timely GSTR-1 Filing

Filing GSTR-1 within the due date isn’t just about avoiding penalties — it brings several operational benefits for your business:

  1. Ensures seamless ITC flow:
    When you file on time, your customers can claim their Input Tax Credit without delay.

  2. Builds trust and credibility:
    Regular and accurate filing enhances your business reputation with clients and vendors.

  3. Avoids system blocking:
    Delayed GSTR-1 filing can lead to restrictions in filing GSTR-3B and generating e-way bills.

  4. Prevents penalties and interest:
    Late filing attracts a late fee of ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST), and ₹20 per day for nil returns.

  5. Improves compliance rating:
    Consistent compliance with GST deadlines positively impacts your GST compliance score, which can benefit your business in audits or tenders.

⚠️ Consequences of Late or Non-Filing

If GSTR-1 is not filed within the due date, the following consequences apply:

  • A late fee of ₹50 per day (₹25 under CGST + ₹25 under SGST) up to a maximum of ₹10,000.

  • For nil returns, a late fee of ₹20 per day applies.

  • Delayed filing affects the buyer’s ability to claim ITC.

  • Continuous non-filing can lead to suspension of GST registration.

Therefore, it is advisable to plan and prepare your invoices and data in advance to ensure timely filing.

These restrictions are outlined in Section 17(5) of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017 . Understanding these rules is crucial for businesses to remain compliant and avoid penalties or unnecessary tax demands. What is Input Tax Credit (ITC)?
