Dear Readers, in my last article, I have tried to focus on an in-depth analysis of Notification No. 74/2019 – Central Tax & Notification No. 75/2019 – Central Tax issued by the GST Department. In today’s article, we are discussing FAQ’s and consequences of not Filing of pending GSTR-1 before 10th January 2020. Now, GST Department is trying to create a massive awareness of this one-time late fee waiver scheme provided to GSTR-1 Defaulters. Department is sending SMS to GSTR-1 defaulters to avail of this opportunity.
Q 1. I am regularly filing my GSTR-3B before the due date, whether it is mandatory for me to file GSTR-1?
Ans: Yes, it is mandatory for all GST Registered persons to file GSTR-1 along with GSTR-3B because GSTR-3B is just a summarized return in which, we have to show self calculated Sales, GST Liability and GST Inputs, however, in GSTR-1, we have to show detailed B2B Invoices Details and other required details in elaborated form like Debit/ Credit Note Detail, Invoices, and HSN Code wise detail.
Q 2. I am a Composition dealer, whether GSTR-1 filing is applicable to me?

Q 3. If due to some unavoidable circumstances, I am not able to file GSTR-1 before 10th January 2020. Will I am eligible to file the same after due date.

Ans: Yes. Non-filing of GSTR-1 return attracts many Consequences:
♦ Your GST Registration may be canceled

♦ Assessing Officer has the power to make Best Judgment Assessment which may be harsh to GST Registered Dealers.
