A front-desk guide to regular GST return dates, registration preparation and late-fee structure. This is not a how-to-file tutorial or a deadline calculator.

Official sources read: 14 November 2026. The dates below are regular statutory patterns for the stated filing frequency, not confirmation of a particular taxpayer's live deadline. Government notifications can extend dates. Confirm the tax period, return type, filing frequency, state and any applicable notification before relying on a date. Composition and other special returns are not covered by this table.

LATE FEES / READ THE APPLICABILITY

Late fee is not
one flat fine.

The verified notifications below set the CGST component only. They are not the full combined central + state amount payable. The state-tax component, interest, tax and any other applicable consequence must be checked separately. No live liability is calculated on this website.

Component / return	Daily CGST late fee	Reduced CGST cap from June 2021 / quarter ending June 2021 onward
GSTR-1 Notification 4/2018 + 20/2021	Rs. 25 per day generally. Rs. 10 per day where there are no outward supplies.	No outward supplies: Rs. 250. Other cases, preceding-FY aggregate turnover up to Rs. 1.5 crore: Rs. 1,000. Above Rs. 1.5 crore and up to Rs. 5 crore: Rs. 2,500.
GSTR-3B Notification 76/2018 + 19/2021	Rs. 25 per day generally. Rs. 10 per day where central tax payable in the return is nil.	Central tax payable nil: Rs. 250. Other cases, preceding-FY aggregate turnover up to Rs. 1.5 crore: Rs. 1,000. Above Rs. 1.5 crore and up to Rs. 5 crore: Rs. 2,500.

Do not double a number here and treat it as your bill. These are central-tax provisions, not a full case assessment. The nil conditions differ between the returns. Older periods, turnover above Rs. 5 crore, special relief/waivers and other return types need separate review. Interest is separate from late fee.

Official notifications: 4/2018 Central Tax ↗ · 20/2021 Central Tax ↗ · 76/2018 Central Tax ↗ · 19/2021 Central Tax ↗. The 2021 documents also contain historical relief windows; those are not presented as open relief here.

GST REGISTRATION / PREPARE THE RIGHT INFORMATION

A checklist follows
the actual case.

Official registration guidance covers the constitution of the business, people authorised to act and the principal place of business. It is not one identical bundle for every business. Discuss these categories before providing documents through an agreed route.

Business & people

Identify the business constitution and the proprietor, partners/directors or authorised signatory relevant to the application. Constitution evidence and authorisation depend on that structure.

Premises

Say whether the premises are owned, rented, consent-based or shared. Ownership proof, an agreement or consent evidence must match that situation. The official 2025 instruction explains these routes separately.

Existing status

Say whether this is a new registration, amendment or a pending request. The basic enquiry needs no PAN, Aadhaar number, password, OTP or document upload.

Sources: GST portal document checklist ↗ · CBIC Instruction 03/2025-GST, 17 April 2025 ↗. A final current checklist must be confirmed for the specific request.

Prepare a basic service enquiry ↗

Regular patterns only, not a verified deadline for your filing period. Extensions and case-specific rules must be checked.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Clear answers.
No guesswork.

Done properly.
Explained simply.

How do I apply for a service?

Choose a service to see its documents and start a request. Puhor confirms the final checklist and full charges on WhatsApp before work starts. You review your basic enquiry, then open WhatsApp and tap Send yourself.

Which documents will I need?

Each service has its own document checklist. The final list is confirmed before filing because some cases need an extra document.

Do I need to visit an office?

No. Puhor works online through WhatsApp and email. The Guwahati address is for correspondence only, not client visits.

How much does it cost?

Charges depend on the service and your case. The full amount is confirmed before starting work. No prices are displayed here.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?

Start with a conversation.

No sign-up. No public price list. Just tell us what you need.
