Introduction:
As a trade facilitation measure and in order to further ease the process of doing business, the GST Council in its 42nd meeting held on 05.10.2020 has recommended for quarterly return filing facility for small taxpayers. Based on these recommendations, Government has introduced the scheme of Quarterly Return filing with Monthly Payment of taxes (for brevity ‘QRMP scheme’). This scheme has been introduced to minimize the burden of compliances on small taxpayers having aggregate turnover of up to INR 5 crores. This new Scheme will be effective from 01.01.2021.
Applicability:
A registered person who is required to furnish a return in Form GSTR-3B, and who has an aggregate turnover of up to INR 5 crore rupees in the preceding financial year, is eligible to opt for the QRMP Scheme in the current financial year. However, in case the aggregate turnover exceeds INR 5 crores during any quarter in the current financial year, the registered person shall not be eligible for the scheme from the next quarter.
