Miss a GST return deadline in Delhi NCR and the penalty starts the same day. Late fees for GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 accrue automatically on the GST portal, whether your registered office sits in Connaught Place, Delhi or on Golf Course Road, Gurugram. Interest at 18 percent a year keeps adding to any unpaid tax on top of the late fee. None of this depends on which state issued your GSTIN. The filing deadlines and penalties for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are identical nationwide. What does differ across Delhi NCR is which state department eventually reviews your filing history.
What happens if you file GST returns late in Delhi NCR?
A missed GSTR-3B does more than trigger a late fee. Your GSTIN can be flagged for suspension after repeated defaults, and once that happens you cannot legally raise a GST invoice until it is restored. Buyers who need your invoice to claim their own input tax credit will stop working with you the moment your GSTIN shows as suspended. The late fee itself runs at ₹50 per day for a regular return, split ₹25 each between CGST and SGST, capped at ₹10,000, or ₹20 per day capped at ₹5,000 for a nil return. Three months of missed filing alone can add up to ₹9,000 in late fees before you have even paid the tax you owe. On top of the money, a defaulter's compliance rating on the GST portal drops, which can slow down refunds and invite closer scrutiny on future filings. This consequence is the same wherever your GSTIN was issued, because GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B rules do not vary by state.
Who must file monthly GST returns in Delhi NCR, and from what turnover?
Every GST registered business files returns on a schedule set by its registration type, not by its state.
- A professional services or consulting founder working out of Connaught Place, Delhi, with a regular GST registration files GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B every month.
- A professional and financial services firm on Golf Course Road, Gurugram, Haryana, carries the exact same monthly obligation once it is GST registered, regardless of the state code on its GSTIN.
- A business under the QRMP scheme, with turnover up to ₹5 crore, can file GSTR-1 quarterly while still paying tax monthly.
- A composition scheme taxpayer files GSTR-4 annually instead, with quarterly CMP-08 payments in between.
- A business that crosses ₹2 crore turnover in a financial year also files GSTR-9 once a year, on top of its monthly returns, regardless of whether it is registered in Delhi or Haryana.
Which department eventually sees your GST return in Delhi NCR?
Your GST return itself is filed on the national GST portal, but the state authority behind your GSTIN differs by where your registered office sits. A Connaught Place, Delhi registration falls under state code 07 and the Department of Trade and Taxes, Government of NCT of Delhi. A Golf Course Road, Gurugram registration falls under state code 06 and the Excise and Taxation Department, Haryana. If your business holds GSTINs in both states, you file two separate sets of monthly returns, one against each state code. Our WeWork Forum, DLF Cyber City, Phase III, Sector 24, Gurugram, Haryana 122002 office coordinates both filings from one point of contact, and neither office decides which state your other GSTIN falls under.
Filing follows the same four steps every month, regardless of state:
- Share your sales and purchase data for the month.
- Our CA reconciles your purchase register against GSTR-2B.
- We prepare GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for your review.
- Once you approve, we file on the GST portal and send the acknowledgment.
Which dates govern your GST return filing calendar?
| Return | Due Date | Late Fee Per Day |
|---|---|---|
| GSTR-1 | 11th of the following month | ₹50, or ₹20 for a nil return |
| GSTR-3B | 20th of the following month | ₹50, or ₹20 for a nil return |
| GSTR-4, composition scheme | 30th April | ₹50, capped at ₹2,000 |
| GSTR-9, annual return above ₹2 crore turnover | 31st December | ₹200 per day, capped at 0.25 percent of turnover |
These dates apply the same way whether your GSTIN carries Delhi's state code 07 or Haryana's state code 06. Interest at 18 percent a year runs separately on any unpaid tax, on top of whichever late fee applies.
What does GST return filing cost, and what is inside the fee?
LegalX India's GST return filing starts at ₹299 per return, covering GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B preparation, ITC reconciliation against GSTR-2B, and filing on the GST portal. If your business needs both a Delhi and a Haryana return filed every month, we quote a combined monthly fee once we see your transaction volume for each GSTIN. There are no hidden charges added later, and the quote stays fixed for the full financial year unless your transaction volume changes materially.
Does professional tax also apply to your GST filing routine in Delhi NCR?
There is one compliance line you will not find on your monthly checklist here. No professional tax applies anywhere in Delhi NCR, whether your office sits in Connaught Place or on Golf Course Road. Neither Delhi nor Haryana has ever levied it. Your monthly routine stays limited to GST returns; there is no separate professional tax deduction or payment to track alongside it, unlike in several other Indian states.
