GST calendar
Every return and its due date.
- Monthly or QRMP
- Annual returns
- Composition returns
A reminder is only useful if the data is ready when it arrives. Milaan ERP tracks your GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and annual return dates, reminds you on WhatsApp, and shows a short checklist of what still needs doing before you or your CA can file.
| Return | Due | Status |
|---|---|---|
| GSTR-1 for OctoberSales, notes, HSN | 11 Nov | Ready |
| GSTR-2B for OctoberAvailable to download | 14 Nov | Loaded |
| GSTR-3B for October2 supplier bills to checkReconcile first | 20 Nov | Pending |
| Annual return GSTR-9For last year | 31 Dec | Planned |
Missing a GST due date means a late fee for every day of delay and interest on any tax paid late. But the bigger cost is often hidden: when you file GSTR-1 late, your customers can’t see their credit, and good customers start asking questions. File GSTR-3B late often enough, and your registration can be at risk.
Most late filings don’t happen because someone forgot the date. They happen because the data wasn’t ready: purchase bills not entered, supplier bills not reconciled, a few invoices with missing GSTINs.
Milaan ERP reminds you of the date and shows what is left to do. A GST calendar lists every return you file, based on whether you are a monthly filer or in the quarterly QRMP scheme. Before each date, you get a WhatsApp reminder and a checklist: bills with missing details, purchases not yet reconciled, notes not issued.
Your CA can get the same reminders, so everyone works to the same calendar.

How reminders and checklists fit into a monthly filer’s month.
You and your CA get a WhatsApp reminder that GSTR-1 is due on the 11th, with a list of three bills missing GSTINs.
The bills are fixed and the JSON is exported. Your CA files GSTR-1 a day early.
GSTR-2B is loaded and matched. Two supplier bills are missing, so they are held back.
The GSTR-3B summary is ready. Tax is paid and the return is filed before the 20th.
Monthly filers: GSTR-1 by the 11th of the next month, and GSTR-3B by the 20th. Businesses in the QRMP scheme (turnover up to ₹5 crore) file GSTR-1 quarterly by the 13th after the quarter, can upload B2B bills monthly by the 13th through IFF, pay tax monthly by the 25th using PMT-06, and file GSTR-3B by the 22nd or 24th after the quarter, depending on their state.
The annual return GSTR-9 is due by 31 December after the year ends. Late fees run per day of delay, and interest is charged at 18% a year on tax paid late. Returns can no longer be filed once three years have passed from their due date. The government sometimes extends dates, so always check for notifications.
