Prepare the quarterly statement-cum-challan with records that support the composition liability.
Statement-cum-challan preparation and filing for quarterly composition tax liability.
Who is this service for?
CMP-08 is the statement-cum-challan used for the applicable quarterly composition-tax liability. It should not be confused with the annual GSTR-4 return, or with the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B workflow used by regular taxpayers.
Relevant audience: Composition scheme dealers. Start with the taxpayer category, registration and period; a familiar form name alone does not establish that a service is applicable to you.
What your expert checks
What should a composition taxpayer prepare?
Compile turnover and other relevant tax records for the selected quarter, along with earlier payment details and information affecting the computation. Confirm that the taxpayer was eligible for, and under, the relevant composition scheme during that period. The expert needs to know about a change in scheme status rather than assume that the latest portal status applies to every earlier quarter.
How does quarterly payment connect to the annual return?
Quarterly workings should be retained so that the annual compilation can be reconciled. A CMP-08 engagement does not automatically prepare GSTR-4, fix earlier scheme eligibility problems or settle every outstanding demand. Where late periods or mismatches exist, agree the additional work and statutory amounts before proceeding. A year-long recurring package remains limited to the agreed financial year.
Documents to keep ready
A clear working file helps the expert ask relevant questions and reduces avoidable back-and-forth. Prepare these records for the exact scope you want to purchase:
- GSTIN and business details
- Selected return period and financial year
- Sales / purchase registers and relevant invoices
- Credit / debit notes, tax and input-credit records
- Prior returns and portal records where applicable
Use your consultation’s secure document facility when sharing records with the assigned expert. Do not put passwords, OTPs, personal identifiers or client documents in a public comment.
Before you approve the work
- Confirm composition status for the quarter being filed.

Visit the service page for current plans and terms. A one-time plan buys its stated filing scope, not unlimited compliance work.
Annual packages, where offered, cover the named service for one agreed financial year. They do not automatically cover every GSTIN, another financial year, other filing categories or historical corrections. Access validity and the filing periods purchased are different.
How expert-assisted filing works
- Choose the right scope. Review the service, relevant period and final plan terms, or request a quote for specialist work.
- Connect with your assigned expert. After a successful eligible purchase, use the client dashboard to discuss the requirement and share the relevant records.
- Resolve the queries. The expert reviews the supplied information and asks for missing details. Review the proposed figures and required statutory payments before authorising submission.
- Keep the outcome and evidence. Retain the filed documents, acknowledgement and payment evidence relevant to the completed work.
No filing completion time, tax saving, approval or regulatory outcome is guaranteed. Incomplete documents, portal dependencies and unresolved facts can affect the work.
