Hi Guys,
This is Ravi Verma, in this Article I will tell you about the new method for filing the GSTR-1 NIL return.
Let’s start,
Why do we have to file the NIL GSTR-1 return?
If a business has no sale or purchase in a month, it must file its NIL GSTR-1 return for this month on the GST portal. but make a note for this, if you want to amend any invoice and if you will issue a credit note and Debit note to your client in that case you need to file your GSTR-1 return on the regular basis. you don’t need to file the NIL return in that case.
How to file my NIL GSTR-1 return in a new way?
a. Open your GSTR portal with your credentials.
