Service-specific answers
GST Return Filing FAQs
Requirements can change with facts, jurisdiction and authority instructions.
Can I file a nil GST return?
Yes, and it may still be mandatory even when there were no sales or purchases.
Why is my input credit lower than my books?
Credit depends on legal eligibility and supplier-reported data, commonly reviewed through GSTR-2B.
Can a filed return be revised?
GST generally uses corrections in later permitted periods rather than a conventional revised return.
