GST Return Filing Status And Types

The GST return application status can vary depending on the specific actions taken by a taxpayer and may include the following types:

When the return is due, but has not been filed yet, then it will show the status as “TO BE FILED.”

When the return has been validated but yet shows the filing status pending then the status would show “SUBMITTED BUT NOT FILLED”
done-icon
When the return has been filed without any such pending status, then it shows the status as “FILED-VALID”.
done-icon
When the return has been filed, but the tax is not paid or is less/shortly paid, then the status would show as “FILED-INVALID”.
