GSTR-1 Filing 2026 — Due Date, Tables, IFF & How It Works

Updated: 3 June 2026  |  Monthly: 11th  |  QRMP Quarterly: 13th  |  CGST Act

GSTR-1 is the monthly/quarterly return for outward supplies (invoices issued). Due on the 11th of the following month for monthly filers; 13th for QRMP quarterly filers. GSTR-1 data flows directly into your buyers' GSTR-2B — enabling their ITC claims. Must be filed before GSTR-3B. Late or missing GSTR-1 blocks buyers' ITC and can prevent your own GSTR-3B filing.
11th
GSTR-1 monthly due date: 11th of the following month (>₹5 crore turnover).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the due date for GSTR-1 filing?
GSTR-1 due dates: Monthly filers (turnover > ₹5 crore): 11th of the following month. QRMP scheme (turnover ≤ ₹5 crore): IFF (Invoice Furnishing Facility) for first 2 months of quarter by 13th; GSTR-1 for full quarter by 13th of the month after quarter end (Jul 13, Oct 13, Jan 13, Apr 13). Filing GSTR-1 is mandatory before GSTR-3B filing for the same period to enable ITC flow to buyers.
What is IFF under QRMP scheme?
IFF (Invoice Furnishing Facility) is for QRMP taxpayers — allows reporting B2B invoices for the first 2 months of a quarter (optional, not mandatory). Without IFF, buyers can claim ITC only after the quarterly GSTR-1 is filed. With IFF, buyers get ITC within the same month. IFF is not mandatory but important for maintaining buyer relationships who need timely ITC.
What happens if GSTR-1 is not filed?
If GSTR-1 is not filed: (1) Your buyers cannot see your invoices in GSTR-2B → they cannot claim ITC on purchases from you; (2) You cannot file GSTR-3B for the next 2 periods if GSTR-1 is pending; (3) GSTR-1 late fee: ₹50/day (nil returns) or ₹50/day (regular). The restriction on GSTR-3B filing from September 2022 makes timely GSTR-1 filing critical for business relationships.
Can I amend invoices in GSTR-1?
Yes. Amend invoices in GSTR-1 via Amendment Tables: Table 9A (B2B amendment), Table 9B (credit/debit note amendment), Table 9C (unregistered buyer amendment). Amendments affect the GSTR-2B of buyers. You can amend invoices up to the September return of the following year or the annual return date (whichever is earlier). Amendments cannot reverse already-filed annual return entries.
Does GSTR-1 affect ITC for buyers?
Yes. GSTR-1 data flows into buyers' GSTR-2B (auto-populated ITC statement). When you file GSTR-1, your invoices appear in your buyers' GSTR-2B for that period. Buyers can claim ITC only on invoices reflecting in GSTR-2B. Since Rule 36(4) enforcement, buyers can claim ITC only to the extent of GSTR-2B figures — so your timely GSTR-1 filing directly enables your buyers' ITC claims.
