The GSTN portal is currently going under discussion to bring a very easy GST to return filing solution based on common SMS facility which will further ensure ease in GST returns filing procedure.
The facility will be beneficial for a family running a business on their own and even the family members can perform a GST return filing procedure without the need of any professional CA.
The GST return SMS facility will particularly help those taxpayers who have taken GSTIN but are filing 0 returns. But due to the mandatory filing, they still have to file the GST returns on time.
Procedure for GST Return filing through SMS
- Step 1 – The taxpayer will have to send zero return on the provided number in Roman characters.
- Step 2 – The GSTN portal will send back OTP for the validation of GST return
- Step 3 – Once the taxpayer enters the received OTP correctly, the zero GST return filing will be done automatically.
This new SMS facility for GST return filing will provide an easy platform for the small taxpayers with business running on the basis of family members.
In the recent 28th GST council meeting, around 88 items were considered for the reduction in GST rates including the much anticipated sanitary napkin.
Also, the retailers selling their goods to the final consumers will be filing SAHAJ form in order to complete his GST returns.
