GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B: what's the difference?
Two returns confuse most new sellers. Here's what each one does and when it's due.
Every GST registration files returns. The two core ones for sellers are GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
GSTR-1 — your sales
Reports outward supplies (sales) with invoice-level detail. It tells the system what you sold and to whom.
GSTR-3B — your summary & payment
A summary return where you declare total sales, claim input tax credit, and pay the net GST due.
Each state GSTIN files its own GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. Multi-state sellers multiply this — which is why an in-house CA team matters. We file across every state you operate in.
