File GST NIL Returns Hassle-Free & On Time

If your business is registered under GST but has no sales, purchases, or tax liability in a particular tax period, you must still file a GST NIL Return. Non-filing, even with zero transactions, attracts penalties and late fees.

What is a GST NIL Return?

A NIL Return is filed when a registered GST taxpayer has:

  • No outward supplies (sales)

  • No inward supplies (purchases)

  • No Input Tax Credit (ITC) to claim

  • No tax liability in the tax period

👉 Despite zero activity, filing NIL returns is mandatory under GST law.

Types of NIL Returns

  • GSTR-1 NIL – When no outward supplies (sales) are made.

  • GSTR-3B NIL – When there are no sales, purchases, ITC, or tax liability.

  • GSTR-4 NIL – For composition dealers with no transactions.

  • GSTR-9 NIL – Annual NIL return for inactive businesses during the year.

Benefits of Filing NIL GST Return

✅ Avoids late fees & penalties
✅ Maintains active GSTIN status
✅ Keeps compliance records clean
✅ Prevents notices from GST Department
✅ Ensures future ITC claims are not blocked

Penalty for Non-Filing of NIL GST Return

  • ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST) for delayed NIL return.

  • Blocking of E-way Bill generation.

  • Continuous default may lead to cancellation of GST Registration.
