Quick answer

This page is the optional 13th. Quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B stay on the QRMP page. Monthly dates stay on the 11th and 20th page. Do not send the GST password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the 13th is

The Invoice Furnishing Facility lets a QRMP taxpayer report outward supplies for a month before the quarterly return. The calendar lists it on the 13th. 13 October 2026 has passed. The next row is 13 November 2026. 13 December 2026 is the later row on the 2026 calendar. A holiday can move a date by a day or two. Confirm on the GST portal whether that month asks for an IFF. Do not file one only because the calendar lists the date.

QRMP applies when aggregate turnover is within the limit in the notification for that year. The portal shows whether the GSTIN is on QRMP. Future Tax confirms the limit before anyone opts in. The rupee limit is not copied onto this page. A monthly filer does not use this row.

What it is not

For many monthly filers, GSTR-1 is the 11th and GSTR-3B the 20th. Those dates are a different filing. Quarterly GSTR-3B on the calendar is the 22nd, and those rows are a plan. That return is on the quarterly GSTR-3B page. 22 October 2026 has passed. The October to December quarterly return is not a later row on the 2026 calendar. Estimated tax for the first two months is paid on challan PMT-06 and used from the cash ledger in GSTR-3B. That challan is not the IFF. Adding the bank account before the first GSTR-1 or IFF stays on the Rule 10A page.

Do not claim input-tax credit for an invoice that is absent from GSTR-2B. That check stays on the GSTR-2B page. A month with no outward supplies can still need a return. That check is on the nil return page. The IFF itself remains optional.

Before one is filed

  1. Send the outward supplies for the month, and the portal screen that shows the GSTIN is on QRMP.
  2. The desk confirms whether that month asks for an IFF, and whether you want the optional filing.
  3. You approve the draft. It is filed after that approval.
  4. The acknowledgement is shared after the portal accepts it.

Monthly GST filing starts at ₹500 on the Coimbatore GST filing page. An IFF, if you choose to file one, is quoted before it is filed. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.

Common questions

Has 13 October 2026 passed?

Yes. The next row the calendar lists is 13 November 2026. 13 December 2026 is the later row. Confirm on the GST portal whether that month asks for an IFF. A holiday can move the date by a day or two.

Is the IFF the same as monthly GSTR-1?

No. For many monthly filers, GSTR-1 is the 11th. The Invoice Furnishing Facility is optional, and only for a GSTIN on QRMP. A monthly filer does not use the 13th.

Must it be filed when there were no invoices?

No. It is optional. A month with no outward supplies can still need a return, and that check is separate. Confirm the month on the portal before an IFF is filed.
