States beat Centre in ensuring GST returns compliance

New Delhi: A Finance Ministry review of compliance behaviour of GST assessees has shown states outperforming the Centre.

In a review this month, the Ministry found considerable gap in filing of returns in case of Centre-administered assessees as compared to the states.

The conclusion is based on the analysis of returns filed in respect of GSTR1 and Form GSTR 3B.

While GSTR-1 is a monthly return that summarises all outward supplies of a taxpayer, the GSTR 3B is summary monthly returns recording filed by the registered dealers.

"CBIC has asked field officers to ensure no gaps are there in filing of tax returns," said an official.
