• GSTR-3B must be filed electronically through the GST portal or authorized GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs). The due date for filing GSTR-3B is the 20th of the succeeding month or 24^th of the succeeding month (in case of QRMP taxpayers) for all taxpayers.

Eligibility for Filing GSTR-3B

All normal taxable persons registered under GST are eligible to file GSTR-3B, except for:

• Composition scheme taxpayers
• Input service distributors (ISDs)
• Taxpayers exclusively dealing in exempted goods or services
