What GST return filing covers for a business in Madhubani
Regular taxpayers file GSTR-1 for outward supplies and GSTR-3B for the summary and tax payment, monthly or — under the QRMP scheme for turnover up to ₹5 crore — quarterly with monthly payment. Composition taxpayers file CMP-08 each quarter and GSTR-4 annually. Above the notified turnover limit (currently ₹2 crore) the annual return GSTR-9 is added. Every period needs a return, including nil periods.
In Bihar, registration becomes compulsory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh for services), and quarterly QRMP filers have until the 24th of the month after the quarter for GSTR-3B. Inter-state sellers and most online sellers must register regardless of turnover.
What the service includes, wherever you are in India, is set out on our GST Return Filing service page.
Who files GST returns in Madhubani
Madhubani painting has moved online. Artists and small studios now sell paintings, painted sarees, stoles and home goods through marketplaces, their own websites and exhibitions across India — which brings in GST rules for e-commerce sellers and inter-state sales that a village artist never met before. Alongside this is the district’s makhana and fish trade and the retail markets of Madhubani, Jhanjharpur and Jaynagar. Handmade paintings and hand-painted textiles are taxed differently, so classification matters.

GST points for the main business types here
Online Sellers. Selling through Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho or your own website changes GST in two ways: registration is generally needed from the first sale, and the marketplace collects TCS and reports your sales in its own return. Your GSTR-1 has to agree with what the marketplace reports, state by state, after returns and cancellations are netted off.
Agri Traders & Input Dealers. Dealers in farm inputs sell goods with very different treatment side by side — seeds for sowing are exempt, fertilisers carry a concessional rate, and pesticides, pump sets and sprayers have rates of their own. Storage and warehousing of agricultural produce is exempt, as is commission on the sale of produce by an agent in a mandi, but once produce is processed, branded or packed for retail it leaves that protected category.
Shops & Retailers. Shop prices are MRP-inclusive, so GST is worked backwards from the bill total, rate by rate. When rates change — as many did in September 2025 — stock on the shelf is sold at the new rate from that day, whatever tax was paid when it was bought. A bill is compulsory whenever the customer asks for one; sales below ₹200 to customers who do not ask can be combined into one consolidated invoice at the end of the day.
What late or wrong returns cost
- Marketplace reports are visible to the department, so any gap between them and your GSTR-1 is flagged automatically.
- A dealer who bills the wrong rate on an input either undercharges tax, and pays it from his own pocket later, or overcharges farmers.
- Billing at an old, higher rate after a rate cut means collecting tax that was never due, and customers notice.
- Late fees run per day of delay on every pending return, and interest at 18% a year applies on tax paid late.
- Your buyers get input credit only when your GSTR-1 is filed — late filing is one of the quickest ways to lose a B2B customer.
How the filing works, step by step
- Onboarding. We review your registration, past returns and any pending notices so there are no surprises in the first filing.
- Monthly data cut-off. By an agreed date each month you share sales, purchases, debit/credit notes and advances — from your billing software or as scanned bills.
- Credit check. Purchases are matched invoice by invoice with GSTR-2B; mismatches go back to you as a supplier follow-up list.
- Review, file, report. You approve the computation, we file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and you get the acknowledgements with a month-wise tracker.

Returns for businesses in Madhubani are prepared at our Patna office. You can reach us by phone or WhatsApp during business hours, and every filing is shared back with you. We do not have an office in Madhubani, so if you specifically want someone to collect papers in person, a local practitioner may suit you better — for everything else, distance makes no difference.
GST filing in Madhubani — frequently asked questions
Selling goods through an e-commerce operator generally requires registration regardless of turnover, though small sellers supplying only within their own state can enrol under a simplified procedure instead. Because buyers of paintings are usually in other states, most online artists need regular registration.
For goods sold through an e-commerce operator, registration is generally required irrespective of turnover. A limited relaxation allows small sellers supplying only within their own state to enrol without full registration, with conditions. Tell us where you sell and to whom, and we will confirm which applies.
Storage and warehousing of agricultural produce — potatoes, grain, fruit and vegetables in their natural state — is exempt. The exemption does not cover storage of processed or packaged goods, so a cold store handling both must split its receipts.
For a sale below ₹200 to an unregistered customer who does not ask for a bill, no separate invoice is needed; one consolidated invoice for all such sales is made at the close of each day. For anything larger, or whenever the customer asks, a bill is compulsory.
For monthly filers GSTR-1 is due on the 11th and GSTR-3B on the 20th of the following month. Under QRMP, the quarterly GSTR-1 is due on the 13th and GSTR-3B on the 22nd or 24th after the quarter, depending on the state. Composition dealers pay through CMP-08 by the 18th after each quarter.
Yes. Every registered taxpayer must file a nil return for a period with no transactions. Late fees apply to nil returns as well, though at a lower per-day rate, and they keep adding up until the return is filed.
