GSTR-3B is the 20th return

For many monthly filers, the 2026 calendar lists GSTR-3B on the 20th. It is the summary return and the tax payment for the previous month. 20 October 2026 has passed. 20 November 2026 has not. The office is at 515 Trichy Road, Singanallur.

Quick answer

This page is monthly GSTR-3B. GSTR-1 stays on the GSTR-1 page. Preparing the return stays on the GST filing page. Do not send the GST password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the calendar lists

GSTR-3B on the 20th is the summary return and the tax payment for the previous month, for regular taxpayers. The 20 November row is October’s GSTR-3B. A notified extension, or a holiday, can move a date by a day or two. Confirm the period on the GST portal before it is filed.

A month with no outward supplies can still need a return. That check is on the nil return page.

Who does not use this row

A GSTIN on QRMP does not use the 20th. That GSTIN files quarterly, when aggregate turnover is within the limit in the notification for that year. Those rows are on the quarterly GST page. The portal shows whether the GSTIN is on QRMP. The rupee limit is not copied onto this page.

What it is not

GSTR-1 on the 11th is the outward-supplies return for the previous month. That return is on the GSTR-1 page. Filing GSTR-3B does not file GSTR-1. GSTR-2B is usually available around the 14th. It is not a return you file. That date is on the statement page. Do not claim input-tax credit for an invoice that is absent from GSTR-2B. That check is on the GSTR-2B page. A difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B is Form DRC-01B, on the DRC-01B page.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send the sales and purchase registers for the month.
  2. The desk confirms that the GSTIN is a monthly filer and that 20 November is still open.
  3. You approve the draft. GSTR-3B is filed after that approval.
  4. The acknowledgement is shared after the portal accepts the return.

The return is quoted before filing. Monthly GST filing starts at ₹500 on the Coimbatore GST filing page. The quote is confirmed before filing. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.
