GSTR-3B Filing Process

GSTR-3B is a simplified summary return that enables taxpayers to declare and pay their GST liabilities for a given tax period. The timely submission of this return ensures that both the Central and State Governments receive their due revenue.

  3. Use the Create Challan option to generate and pay the outstanding tax. After payment, refresh the Cash Utilization Table to update the balance.
