In simple terms
The GST work plan depends on your registration, taxpayer type and filing scheme. First confirm the GST profile; then keep transaction records current, reconcile returns and pay the relevant tax separately from the ACS service fee.
The catalogue fee of INR 500 / month is the ACS service price, not your GST tax liability. The relevant returns, transaction volume and period are confirmed in the engagement. A registration does not stop filing obligations in a period with no activity; check the relevant nil-return requirement.
Your compliance checklist
Registration and profile
At setup and when details changeCheck the required registration route, business details, places of business and signatory.
Invoices and reconciliation
During each reporting periodKeep sales, purchase, credit / debit note and bank records; review input-credit records against supporting information.
Regular returns
Based on your taxpayer profileFor a normal taxpayer, review applicable GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B work. Other taxpayer categories follow their relevant return route.
QRMP review
For an eligible opted-in taxpayerQuarterly return filing does not remove monthly tax-payment work under QRMP. Review the actual scheme and profile before planning.
Annual return or reconciliation
Where the current rules require itAnnual-return and reconciliation applicability must be confirmed for the year and entity. These are not automatically included in the monthly service price.
Notice or mismatch response
When a notice or discrepancy arisesRead the complete notice, identify its period and prepare the relevant evidence and reconciliation.
Professional fees
Choose only the services that apply. These prices are not an automatic combined annual bill.
These are ACS professional fees, not statutory charges or an automatic annual package. Government fees, taxes, third-party charges, transaction volume and any additional work are confirmed separately before you proceed. Online payments remain inactive.
Annual GST return work, complex reconciliation, multiple GSTINs and historical pending returns need a separate scope-based quote.
Records to keep ready
- GSTIN, PAN, business constitution and signatory details
- Sales and purchase invoices, including credit / debit notes
- Bank records and tax or contribution payment records
- Previous returns, reconciliations and input-credit information
- Complete notices and response records where applicable
Practical benefits
- A consistent sales, purchase and tax-record file.
- Clearer return preparation and input-credit reconciliation.
- A filing plan matched to your scheme instead of a generic monthly checklist.
A manageable next step
Share your entity type, reporting year, registration orders and previous filings. ACS can review the missing records, identify relevant tasks and confirm a written scope and fee before work starts.
If work is overdue, we review it first and explain any applicable additional charges. Do not assume a penalty waiver or an all-inclusive package.
This is general service information, not a determination of your legal or tax obligations. Deadlines, applicability and form numbers are confirmed for your circumstances and reporting period. Catalogue tax labels may refer to earlier forms; the 2026 form transition is checked before filing.
