GST, e-invoicing, input tax credit and accounting—explained in plain English, with technical detail and worked examples.
The company—not its director—is the taxable person. Use the company PAN and exact incorporation name, disclose promoters/directors as required, appoint the authorised signatory and prepare principal-place evidence.

Check PAN-wide turnover, inter-State service relief, compulsory-registration triggers and export conditions before applying for GST as a freelancer or consultant.

Do not use turnover alone or assume every marketplace seller follows one rule. Section 24, e-commerce operator duties and later notifications must be read together. Conditional enrolment routes exist for some unregistered intra-State goods sellers, but they come with restrictions.

Decide the entity and operating footprint before opening REG-01. Check whether liability already exists, whether voluntary registration is commercially useful, and which State registrations are required.

Build the checklist around four folders: applicant/entity, promoters or proprietor, authorised signatory and principal place of business. Then add entity-specific and activity-specific records. Use the current GST Portal checklist for permitted file types and sizes.

Separate a clarification from a rejection. REG-03 asks for clarification or documents; REG-04 is the applicant’s response route within the stated portal deadline; REG-05 records rejection. Do not assume the rejected form can simply be edited.

Start with the registration profile and business activity, then map each applicable form and its data source. Regular taxpayers commonly work with outward-supply reporting and summary tax payment returns; QRMP can change frequency and use IFF.

Monthly GSTR-1 is ordinarily due on the 11th of the following month; quarterly GSTR-1 under QRMP is ordinarily due on the 13th after the quarter, subject to extensions. Nil filing is still required.
30 Sept 2026
Prepare GSTR-3B from reconciled records, not from memory or the portal summary alone. Monthly filers ordinarily work to the 20th; QRMP quarterly due dates are generally the 22nd or 24th depending on the State group, subject to extensions.
30 Sept 2026
Start with a portal status inventory for every GSTIN and period. Download notices, identify blocked later returns, reconstruct books month by month and quantify tax, interest and late fee under the current portal/notification position.
