Staying compliant with your GST registration
Registration-level compliance once you hold a GSTIN: display the certificate and GSTIN, and keep to your return-filing cadence. KaamKar is not a CA/tax-filing tool — this guide covers the standing obligations and points you to the GST portal (or your accountant) for the actual filing.
Applies once you hold: GST Registration — Goods & Services Tax registration
Recurring — on a schedule
These come due on a cycle. Tracked, they drive your deadlines and reminders.
File your GST returns on time
A regular taxpayer files monthly/quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B plus an annual return; a Composition taxpayer files quarterly payment (CMP-08) and an annual GSTR-4. Exact forms and dates depend on your scheme and turnover — check the portal or your accountant. Even NIL periods usually require a return.
- If you miss it:
- Late fees and interest; prolonged non-filing can lead to cancellation of registration.
- Keep as evidence:
- Filed return acknowledgements on the GST portal
Standing — always true
What an inspector checks at any time. Keep these in order continuously.
Display the GST certificate and GSTIN
Display the GST registration certificate at your principal (and any additional) place of business, and show your GSTIN on your signboard and on tax invoices.
- If you miss it:
- Non-display of the certificate/GSTIN is a violation checked in inspections.
Follow e-invoicing / e-way bill rules where applicable
E-invoicing is mandatory once your aggregate annual turnover crosses ₹5 crore — you must report B2B invoices to the Invoice Registration Portal and obtain an IRN. An e-way bill must be generated before moving goods of consignment value exceeding ₹50,000 (Rule 138, CGST Rules). Check whether these apply to you as you grow.
On an event
Triggered when something changes (premises, ownership, turnover).
Amend registration on business changes
Changes to address, additional places of business, authorised signatories, or business details must be updated via a registration amendment on the portal.
Track this on your dashboard
Add what you hold to your wallet and KaamKar computes your personal deadlines, keeps a standing-obligations checklist, and alerts you when the rules change.
