A registered taxpayer shall file the return at

the GST Common Portal either himself or through his authorised representative
using the user ID and password allotted.
Taxpayer may prepare and submit his returns
himself or can use services of Tax Return Preparer (TRP) or facilitation centre (FC).
TRPs will have to be approved by the tax
administration and allotted a unique ID. The registration of TRP/FC will be done
by CBEC/respective State authorities and the registration data will be shared with
GSTN.
Taxpayer can sign the return using one-time
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). This will do away with the requirement of
print-out of acknowledgement of return.
Revision of GST Returns

All unreported invoices of previous tax period would be reflected in the
return for the month in which they are proposed to be included. Interest, if
applicable will be auto-populated.

credit / debit note. These credit / debit notes would be reflected in the return for
the month in which such adjustment is carried out.
GST Law may also provide for imposition of automatic late fees for nonfilers and late filers which can also be in-built in the notices. It may also provide
for adequate penal provisions for non-filing of return.
Short filing of GST Return
E-return should be allowed to be uploaded, even in case of short payment

for the limited purpose of having the information about self- assessed tax liability
even though not paid. However, it will be treated as an invalid return.
Any invalid return (including the one not supported by full payment) will
merely be recorded with unique transaction ID, but not accepted in the system.
