Hello everyone, and welcome back to Smart Study Blog! In this detailed guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of filing your GSTR-3B for January 2025. Follow along to ensure a smooth and successful filing experience.
Step 1: Accessing the GST Portal
First, open your preferred web browser and navigate to Google. Type ‘GST login’ in the search bar and click on the official GST services portal link. Once you reach the login screen, enter your username, password, and the captcha code. After filling in the required details, click ‘Login’.
Step 2: Navigating to the Return Dashboard
After logging in, you will be directed to your welcome dashboard. Here, you need to select ‘Return Dashboard’. Choose the Financial Year, which in this case is 2024-2025, and then select the Quarter and Period, which is January 2025. Click ‘Search’ to proceed. Scroll down to the ‘Monthly Return GSTR-3B’ section and click ‘Prepare Online’.
Step 3: Verifying Supply Details and ITC
Now, carefully verify your outward supply details, making sure they match what you filed in your GSTR-1. Double-check your Eligible ITC (Input Tax Credit). Once you’re certain that all information is accurate, click ‘Proceed to Payment’. Here, you can review the tax payable and your utilizable cash balance.
Step 4: Making Payment and Offsetting GST
Next, click ‘Make Payment/Post Credit to Ledger’. Read the warning message and click ‘Agree and Continue’. Confirm by clicking ‘Yes’. A message will appear indicating that the offset was successful. Click ‘OK’ to proceed. The system will now offset your GST payable with your available ITC.
Step 5: Filing Your GSTR-3B
With all the details in place, the ‘Proceed to File’ option will now be unlocked. Click on it. Check the acknowledgement box, select your authorized signatory, and choose ‘File GSTR-3B with EVC’. An information pop-up will appear; click ‘Proceed’. Enter the OTP you received on your registered phone number or email and click ‘Verify’. A filing pop-up will confirm that your GSTR-3B has been successfully filed. Save the ARN (Acknowledgement Reference Number) for future reference. You will also receive an acknowledgement on your registered phone number and email.
