Who is this service for?

The combined GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B service covers both returns for the same selected month or QRMP quarter. The annual package covers applicable recurring filings for one agreed financial year. It does not automatically include GSTR-9, GSTR-9C, every GSTIN or every historical pending return.

Relevant audience: Regular GST taxpayers. 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

Why prepare the two returns together?

GSTR-1 describes outward supplies while GSTR-3B reports the summary liability and eligible credit. Preparing them together allows sales differences to be identified before submission. The expert can compare the sales ledger, invoice classifications, notes and period adjustments with the proposed summary. This does not remove the need to review purchase eligibility, reverse-charge items or the correctness of source invoices.

Which plan fits your business?

Choose a single-period package for an agreed month or QRMP quarter when you need a specific filing cycle completed. Choose the annual package for recurring support across one agreed financial year. Confirm the GSTIN, filing frequency, covered periods and treatment of periods already filed. Access validity is not permission to include a second financial year or unlimited unrelated compliance work.

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 the same GSTIN and period are being used for both returns.
  • Agree which financial year and outstanding periods an annual engagement covers.
  • Ask separately about annual returns, reconciliations, notices and additional registrations.

Visit the service page for current plans and terms. A one-time plan buys its stated filing scope, not unlimited compliance work.

Keep the scope clear.

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.

The annual package covers both GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for one agreed financial year. Individual return plans are sold separately.

How expert-assisted filing works

  1. Choose the right scope. Review the service, relevant period and final plan terms, or request a quote for specialist work.
  2. Connect with your assigned expert. After a successful eligible purchase, use the client dashboard to discuss the requirement and share the relevant records.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
