GST Return Filing & Compliance

GST compliance is more than filing two returns every month.

GST compliance covers the full cycle after registration: outward supply returns, tax payment returns, input tax credit matching, annual filings and replies to departmental communication. It is relevant to any registered business in Pune and PCMC, from manufacturers and traders to IT and service companies, especially where purchases come from many suppliers.

TaxPro supports businesses with return preparation, reconciliations, input-tax-credit reviews, annual compliance and response coordination where discrepancies arise, working alongside the accounting team so the returns and books agree.

When Is This Required?

GST compliance support is typically needed when:

  • Your business is registered and files periodic returns, and you want them prepared and reviewed regularly.
  • Sales in GSTR-1 and tax paid in GSTR-3B do not agree with your books.
  • Input tax credit in GSTR-2B differs from purchase records.
  • An annual return or reconciliation statement applies to your turnover and is approaching.
  • You have received a notice, a mismatch intimation or a request for clarification.
  • Your internal team handles accounts but no one reviews GST positions.

Due dates and applicability of annual filings depend on the category of the taxpayer. We maintain the calendar for you rather than relying on memory.

What We Help With

  • GST Registration
  • GSTR-1
  • GSTR-3B
  • ITC Reconciliation
  • E-Way Bill Support
  • Annual Compliance
  • GST Notices
  • GST Refund Documentation
  • Ledger Reconciliation

Alongside returns, we reconcile GSTR-2B with purchase books, review credit eligibility and reversals, and align GST with accounting and TDS where relevant.

Documents / Information Required

For each period we generally need:

  • Sales invoices, credit and debit notes, and export or e-way bill details.
  • Purchase invoices and expense bills, including reverse-charge items.
  • Access to the GST portal data (GSTR-2B and related statements) for the period.
  • Accounting records or trial balance, and bank statements where needed to confirm receipts and payments.
  • Previous returns, challans and any pending notices or replies.
  • Details of any special cases such as refunds, advances or inter-branch transfers.

Your professional may ask for more or less depending on the facts.

Our Process

  1. Understand. We learn how invoices are raised, which systems record them, and who approves entries.
  2. Map. We compare sales, purchases and credit data across books and portal records to find the gaps.
  3. Coordinate. Queries on invoices, credit notes and supplier issues are raised with your team early, not at the due date.
  4. Execute. Returns are prepared and filed, and tax is paid through the correct ledgers.
  5. Review. Each period is reviewed for mismatches, reversals and open items before closure, and the annual position is reviewed at year end.
  6. Stay Ahead. A calendar tracks recurring filings, so compliance is planned rather than rushed.

Common Issues We See

  • GSTR-2B and books do not match. Supplier invoices are missing from 2B, booked in the wrong period, or booked without the supplier having filed.
  • ITC reversals missed. Credit is taken and not reversed where required, for example for unpaid invoices or ineligible items, and surfaces during a notice.
  • GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B differences. Outward supplies reported in one return are different in the other, usually from late invoices or credit notes.
  • Credit and debit notes not tracked. Adjustments are made in books but not reflected in returns for the correct period.
  • E-way bills and invoices out of sync. Movement of goods does not match invoicing or place-of-supply details.
  • Annual return prepared from memory. Without monthly reconciliation, the year-end numbers do not agree with the audited accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?

GSTR-1 reports outward supplies invoice-wise, while GSTR-3B is the summary return through which tax is paid and credit is claimed. Differences between the two are a common source of department queries.

Why does GSTR-2B matter?

GSTR-2B is the auto-generated statement of credit available to you based on supplier filings. Matching it with your purchase books helps you claim only the credit you are entitled to.

Can you handle only the returns and not the accounts?

Yes, but returns are more accurate when accounting is current. We usually recommend reviewing how books and GST connect, and can work with your accountant or with our accounting services.

What if I have received a GST notice?

Do not ignore it, as response periods are limited. Send us the notice and the related period data, and we will help understand the issue and coordinate a reply. Where representation by a qualified professional is needed, it is arranged under applicable law.

Do I need an annual return?

Applicability depends on the category and turnover of the taxpayer and on notified rules. We confirm what applies to you each year.

Do you only serve businesses in Pune?

We are based in PCMC, Pune and work with clients across Maharashtra and India. GST work is online, so location is rarely a limitation.
