  2. Sahaj: GST Ret-2 and
  3. Sugam: GST Ret-3
  • The Central Government has now notified that the all-new GST return filing format shall be made effective from 1st April 2019  as a pilot project. This new GST return filing procedure shall be made mandatory across the country with effect from July 2019.
  • Under the revised GST return filing model, the businesses having GST registration can easily report their invoices on a continual basis.
