    Regular taxpayers

    Businesses exceeding state-specific thresholds must regularly file GST returns. The filing frequency (monthly or quarterly) depends on their annual turnover

    Small businesses under the threshold can opt for the composition scheme, filing quarterly returns as mandated for taxpayers registered under this simplified scheme.

    ISDs must file monthly returns, detailing input services received and redistributed within the organization to other branches or units

    Non-Resident taxpayers

    Non-resident entities in India must file GST returns for the period of taxable supplies, with monthly filings required irrespective of turnover

    Invoices Types in the New GST Return Filing System

    The existing return system incorporates several terms related to the transfer of invoices, encompassing aspects such as invoice details, format, and compliance standards within the current GST framework in India.

    Undetected Invoices

    Supplier claiming ITC without invoices is termed undisclosed in GST

    Invoice Locking

    Verify details in receipts for recipient assurance

    Invoice Unlocking

    Locked invoices can't be altered; changes need charge/credit note

    Invoice Pending

    Recipient lacks flexibility; beneficiary perceives invoice improvement need

    Rejected Invoices

    Incorrect GSTIN on invoice disqualifies it for other taxpayers' claims
