What is the due date for monthly GST filing (GSTR-3B) in India?

The standard due date for filing GSTR-3B (the summary return for Goods and Services Tax) for the preceding month is the **20th of the current month**. For certain states or taxpayers with an aggregate turnover up to a specified threshold, the government has notified staggered due dates (usually the 22nd or 24th). We actively manage this schedule for all our clients in Madurai to ensure timely and penalty-free compliance.

Is filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) mandatory if my gross income is below the exemption limit?

Yes, even if your total income does not exceed the basic exemption limit, filing an ITR is **mandatory** under certain conditions, as per the Income Tax Act. Key mandatory criteria include: depositing an amount exceeding ₹1 crore in one or more current accounts; incurring foreign travel expenses exceeding ₹2 lakh; or electricity consumption exceeding ₹1 lakh in the financial year. It is also beneficial for loan applications or visa processing.

What documents do I need to start a Private Limited Company or LLP?

For Company or LLP incorporation, the primary documents required include: identity proof (Aadhar Card, PAN Card) and address proof (Voter ID, Passport, or Driving License) for all directors/partners, a registered office address proof (utility bill/rent agreement), and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner. Our firm handles the entire process, including DIN/DSC registration and ROC filings.
