GST has been implemented in India from 1st July, 2017. Under the new GST regime, nearly 1 crore businesses in India have obtained GST registration. All entities having GST registration are required to file GST returns, as per the GST return due date schedule. GST return filing is mandatory for all entities having GST registration, irrespective of business activity or sales or profitability during the return filing period.
