Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GST registration turnover threshold in India?

Businesses supplying goods with aggregate annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in special category states) must register for GST. For service providers, the threshold is ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states). Registration is mandatory regardless of turnover for inter-state supplies, e-commerce operators, and reverse charge transactions.

What are the different types of GST returns and their due dates?

Primary GST returns: GSTR-1 (outward supply details, due 11th of next month or quarterly), GSTR-3B (summary return and tax payment, due 20th of next month), GSTR-9 (annual return, due 31st December), and GSTR-9C (reconciliation statement for turnover above ₹5 crore). Late filing attracts ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST), subject to caps based on turnover.

How does Input Tax Credit (ITC) work under GST?

ITC allows registered businesses to set off GST paid on purchases against GST collected on sales, eliminating cascading tax. To claim ITC, the supplier must have filed their GSTR-1 and the credit must appear in your GSTR-2B. ITC cannot be claimed on personal expenses, motor vehicles (with exceptions), food and beverages, and exempt supplies. Composition scheme dealers are ineligible for ITC.

What happens during a GST audit and what documents are required?

A GST audit examines whether your returns, books, and financials are consistent and compliant. Auditors verify ITC claims vs GSTR-2B, reconciliation between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, correct GST rate classification, and reverse charge compliance. Key documents: all GST returns filed, purchase/sales registers, e-invoices, e-way bills, GSTR-2A/2B reconciliation, and audited financial statements.

How can I claim a GST refund and how long does it take?

GST refunds are available for: excess tax payment, export of goods or services, inverted duty structure, and embassy/UN body refunds. File Form GST RFD-01 within two years of the relevant date. Tax authorities must process refunds within 60 days; delay attracts 6% interest per annum. A CA can accelerate the process by ensuring complete and accurate documentation from the outset.
