What is GSTR 3B?

GSTR 3B is a simple tax return form under GST which was initially introduced for the months of July and August 2017. It has now been updated up to the month of March 2019. It is a form to show the summary of all transactions under GST. In this form, you will only be including the total value of the specified fields and not the value of each transaction.

If you have multiple GSTIN registrations, you have to file a GSTR 3B for each of the GSTINs.
