GST Return Filing in Lucknow
Taxpex professional fee
From ₹499/month
Starting professional fee; the final plan depends on return type and invoice volume.
Lucknow's IT services, chikankari exports, trading houses and government contracting make GST return filing a mix of B2B, exports and CPWD/PWD tender invoicing — each requires distinct reconciliation.
- Monthly filers in Lucknow: GSTR-1 by the 10th, GSTR-3B by the 20th, GSTR-9 & 9C by 31 December.
- Late filing invites ₹50/day late fee (₹20/day for nil returns) plus 18% p.a. interest on tax due.
- ITC is locked to GSTR-2B — a missed vendor invoice from Lucknow means ITC is lost until the next month's 2B.
- E-invoicing is mandatory for Lucknow taxpayers with turnover above ₹5 crore.
- Taxpex files every return 3 days early, CA-signs the acknowledgement and defends notices on filed periods for free.

|---|---|---|
| GSTR-1 | Monthly / Quarterly (QRMP) | Lucknow B2B-heavy taxpayers should file monthly for uninterrupted buyer ITC. |

| GSTR-9 / 9C | Annually (31 Dec) | Lucknow taxpayers above ₹2Cr turnover file GSTR-9; 9C reconciliation kicks in above ₹5Cr. |

| ITC-04 / RFD-01 | As applicable | Job-work and export-refund filings — critical for Lucknow manufacturers and exporters. |
5 filing rules every Lucknow business must know
- GeM tender invoices need correct SAC and GST rate — CPWD contractors often mis-classify.
- Chikankari exports need LUT + shipping bill for zero-rated invoicing.
- Gomti Nagar IT firms invoicing US clients need FIRC + LUT for refunds.
- UP SGST department is strict on B2B invoice HSN summary in GSTR-1.
- Composition dealers in Aminabad/Chowk need CMP-08 discipline — WB-style scrutiny.

GSTR-3B due date for Lucknow QRMP filers: the 24th
Quarterly (QRMP) taxpayers file GSTR-3B on a state-wise staggered date. Uttar Pradesh (state code 09) falls in the group whose quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 24th of the month after the quarter. Monthly filers everywhere file GSTR-3B by the 20th. Monthly tax under QRMP is still paid through PMT-06 by the 25th of the first two months of each quarter.
Which GST office sends return notices in Lucknow?
Return scrutiny (ASMT-10), mismatch notices (DRC-01B for GSTR-1 vs 3B liability, DRC-01C for excess ITC vs GSTR-2B) and non-filer notices (GSTR-3A) come from the authority your GSTIN is allotted to: either CGST Lucknow Commissionerate (central) or the Commercial Tax (State Tax) Department, Uttar Pradesh (state). Check "Centre Jurisdiction" and "State Jurisdiction" on your GST certificate or the portal profile to know which one.
Filing GST returns from Lucknow with branches in other states
Your Lucknow GSTIN (starting 09) covers only Uttar Pradesh. A warehouse, branch or Amazon FBA location in another state needs its own GSTIN and its own GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and annual return. Stock moved between your own GSTINs is a taxable supply and must appear in both states' returns.
What a GST return consultant in Lucknow does for you
A GST return consultant collects your sales and purchase data each month, reconciles purchases with GSTR-2B, files GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B on time, keeps your e-way bill and e-invoice data consistent with returns, and replies to ASMT-10 or DRC-01B/01C notices before they become demands.

People also ask
When do I need reverse GST?+
When a supplier gives you a GST-inclusive price and you need to break it into base + GST for invoicing or ITC reconciliation.
via Reverse GST CalculatorHow is CAGR different from absolute return?+
Absolute return ignores time; CAGR normalises the return to a per-year compounded rate — the standard measure for comparing multi-year returns.
via CAGR CalculatorDo I need GST to register?+
GST is mandatory only if your turnover exceeds the GST threshold. Otherwise PAN is enough.
via MSME / Udyam RegistrationDoes this include processing fees or GST?+
No. Processing fees, insurance, GST on fees and stamp duty are excluded and vary per lender. Add them separately to arrive at the true cost of the loan.
