July 2026 Calendar of GST Return Filing Due Dates
The government announces GST return filing due dates from time to time to maintain taxation in line with respective clearance. Additionally, the primary objective is to inform taxpayers about the GST return filing due dates, thereby preventing them from incurring any penalties or interest. We are offering a GST due dates calendar for July 2026 to all registered taxpayers under the indirect tax regime, to help them stay aware of the filing periods for their GST returns.
As GSTR-1 and GSTR-3 B are filed monthly, we need regular updates/notifications based on the GST due dates calendar to avoid interest and penalty. Also, there is GST CMP 08 for the composition scheme dealers, but it has to be filed every quarter, lowering the need for regular updates on the GST due date filing calendar.

Interest on Late GST Payment and Penalty for Missing GST Return Due Dates
The GST Council has decided to levy an interest of 18 per cent on the late payment of taxes under the GST regime. The interest would be levied for the days for which tax was not paid after the due date. You can read more details of the GST penalty provision in Chapter 10, Part 50, at this link https://cbec-gst.gov.in/CGST-bill-e.html
Let’s understand this by an example: If the total tax liability of a person is Rs. 1,000 and doesn’t pay tax continuously for a few days after the due date, then the interest amount will be calculated as 1000*18/100*1/365= Rs. 0.49 per day at approx. So, the person will have to pay this much interest each day after the due date.
In case if a taxpayer does not file his/her return within the due dates mentioned above, he shall have to pay a late fee of Rs. 50/day i.e. Rs. 25 per day in each CGST and SGST (in case of any tax liability) and Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10/- day in each CGST and SGST (in case of Nil tax liability) subject to a maximum of Rs. 5000/-, from the due date to the date when GST forms, GSTR 1 GSTR 3B GSTR 4 GSTR 5 GSTR 6 GSTR 9 are actually filed.

Dear Madam,
I have developed two software on structural engineering design, and I have been selling them myself without the help of any agent, on line (thro’ internet) to my customers to any part in India. My annual turnover is under Rs.4 lakhs only which is below the threshold limit of Rs. 9 lakhs. As of now, I am not paying service tax as my turnover is less than the threshold limit of Rs. 9 lakhs.
I would like to ask the following queries on the above subject:
1. Is it necessary to do GST registration as my turnover is less than the threshold limit?
2. As I understand that selling thro’ internet means e-commerce which requires GST registration, irrespective of the threshold limit. If that is the case, I will have to do GST registration in the states of India where I sell my software. Is this correct?
3. Once I do GST registration, I will have to collect GST from my customers and pay to central and state governments monthly/quarterly, although my turnover is only less than Rs.4 lakhs. Is this correct?
Please give your advise on the above queries at the earliest.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
N. Prabhakar

Yes, you can do voluntary registration under GST and according to the provisions of e-commerce, you will have to deduct 1% TCS and submit it to the government.

When I file GSTR 3B, for example, July month and your IGST input are 40000 and output 10000 so after adjustment of 10000, you still have 30000 input in IGST. And if you are CGST and SGST output is 20000 and 20000 so firstly adjust your IGST input with CGST 20000 and then pay balance Rs. 10000 for adjustment of SGST balance of 10000 for SGST u have to pay in cash….
Means IGST input firstly adjust with IGST, then with CGST and lastly with SGST.
When you are filling Return Of GSTR 3b when you submit then last dialogue box will be visible for liability set off here u can Set off IGST with IGST and also IGST with CGST and SGST.
