Explanation
GSTR-1 is filed under CGST Rule 59. Monthly filers (AATO > ₹5 crore or opted out of QRMP) file by the 11th of the following month. QRMP filers use Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) for intra-quarter months (due 13th) and file the quarterly GSTR-1 by the 13th after the quarter-end. Cannot file GSTR-1 if GSTR-3B for the previous 2 months is pending (CGST Rule 59(6)). Cannot file GSTR-1 more than 3 years past due date. If GSTR-1 is pending, ITC of the buyer is impacted. Verify on the GST portal before filing.
