Mam,

Under which header section we need to disclose
“Export of goods with payment of GST”
Where do we have to input inward supply (normal purchases) – be it intra or inter supply in GSTR 3B?
Can we directly comply with GSTR 1 and GSTR 2 before 20th August rather than taking this route?
Is GSTR-3B also for service provider i.e. for Cable Operator.
Till date, no utility has been released by GST department for filing of Form GSTR-3B, only PDF of the same is available. Request to please guide on procedure for filing Form GSTR-3B.
