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.

I am an e-commerce company who has a turnover of less than 1.5 Cr.
1. Can I opt for Composition tax?
2. If not, Do I have to pay monthly taxes or Quarterly taxes?
3. I paid most taxes on time ( July, August, Sept on time and Oct has been delayed by 20 days as I just paid today – I thought it was Dec ending for people under 1.5 Cr – Thanks to my CA who is as confused as I am)
My problem is, I got the GST number in Sept or October. Unfortunately, I am unable to file for July. Now, System is not allowing me to file for July or any other month. Every time, I try and submit it. It will say ” Error saving the form “. Now if I try filing Sept, Oct or November, it wouldn’t even allow me saying that I need to submit my previous returns. God knows, how many times I clicked on that Save and Preview and Submit button. I really need to know what I should do. If you can send me a GST Tech service so that I will find out as to what is wrong with my filing.
1. Under GST only restaurant service provider eligible to apply for composition scheme.
2. Taxes in all the cases are to be paid till 20th of the next month.
As you got your registered under GST in September, so you only be eligible and allowed to file returns for the subsequent periods. For further assistance please contact department or GSTN.
We have already filed July 2017 GSTR 1 in time. Now we have to file Aug to Oct GSTR 1 (turnover above 1.50 cr on monthly basis) before 31st Dec 2017. Even today 7th Dec we have tried to submit/file for Aug 2017 (already data saved) it shows error “GSTR-1 Save/Action on Counterparty Invoices/Submits are not allowed for the current date, Please visit https://www.gst.gov.in for details on GSTR-1 timelines” So please clarify the following points.
1. Is GSTR 1 Aug to Oct 2017 submission is not enabled in GST portal
2. Are we need to file GSTR1 July again.
Filing of GSTR-1 for the periods after July is still not enabled by the department, so you need to wait for sometime. As you already filed GSTR-1for July, you do not need to file GSTR-1 again.
Thanks for your reply.
We file July GSTR 1 timely and our tun over is less than 1.5 cr. on 23rd GST meeting govt declare if tun over is less than 1.5 cr. quarterly return file GSTR-1. We need to clarify our pending return GSTR-1 month of August-September’17 monthly basic or quarterly basic return file.
http://www.gst.gov.in site shows monthly return only. The last date is 31.12.17 how to file timely GSTR-1.
You will have to file GSTR-1 for the month of August and September monthly. after that GSTR-1 has to be filed on a quarterly basis from October if your turnover is less than Rs. 1.5 cr.
I got GST Registration towards the end of Sep 17. I understand I need to file GSTR 1 for Sep 17 which will actually be a NIL return. The GST website does not allow me to file the Return on Sep 17. The recent GST Council announcement says the GSTR1 for Jul-Sep can be filed till Dec 31, 2017, as a quarterly return. I do not find on the GST website any indication to file such Quarterly return Pl advise how to go about

Yes, till now no facility has been provided by the department for quarterly filing of returns for July to Sept 2017.
Dear Sir,
I couldn’t file my GSTR 3b for August, September and October. Can you plz help me to calculate interest and penalty for the same as.
You can file GSTR 3B without late fee for October because the due date is 20th Nov 2017. You can file GSTR 3B for August and September also without a late fee because Govt. has waived the late fee for July, August and September. But if you have any unpaid tax liability then you have to pay interest @ 18% per annum.
So what would be a basis of Interest Calculation, I mean whether it is to be calculated on daily basis taking 365 as a base or it would be 1.5% per month or part of the month.
As per the notification, no interest and penalty will be levied.
Can I file GSTR 3B for August, September & October now?
Yes, you can file the same with late fee penalty.
I hope to your give the comment answer, I have the GST Council meeting for making the Notification, if you can send the latest notification at my email dhimanpradeeep2272@gmail.com if cannot possible, so please advice me.
