GSTR-4 Filing — Filed On Time, Without the Last-Minute Panic
Composition dealers skip monthly GST returns - but the annual GSTR-4 still has to be filed, and it has to tie to your four quarterly CMP-08 payments. We reconcile the year, prepare the return, and file it before the 30 June deadline.

Overview
What GSTR-4 is
GSTR-4 is the annual GST return for taxpayers registered under the composition scheme.
It summarises the full financial year - outward supplies, inward supplies, and tax paid - in one return.
From FY 2024-25 onwards, the due date is 30 June following the financial year (extended from the earlier 30 April).
Late filing attracts Rs 200 per day (Rs 100 CGST + Rs 100 SGST), capped at Rs 5,000 per return.
Benefits
Why composition dealers file GSTR-4 through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
CMP-08 reconciliation built in
Your four quarterly CMP-08 payments must tie to the annual return. We reconcile them first, so the GSTR-4 doesn't throw up a mismatch notice later.
Correct tax rates applied
Composition tax rates differ - manufacturers and traders, restaurants, and services each have their own rate. We apply the right one to your turnover.
Nil filers covered
Even with zero turnover, GSTR-4 is mandatory. We file nil returns properly instead of leaving a gap in your compliance record.
Missed deadline? We fix it
Filing late means late fees, but filing never is worse. We compute the fee, file the return, and stop the daily meter.

Step 1 of 5
1. Know the cycle — CMP-08 quarterly, GSTR-4 by 30th April
GSTR-4 is the annual return for composition scheme dealers, due on 30th April following the financial year. During the year, composition dealers pay tax quarterly through Form CMP-08.
2. Confirm quarterly payments are complete
Confirm the quarterly CMP-08 payments are all made and recorded; the annual return consolidates them.
3. File GSTR-4 — typically 2–3 working days to prepare
Compile the full year's turnover, inward supplies and tax paid on the GSTN portal, and file Form GSTR-4. It is largely a consolidation return, so clean quarterly records make it quick — typically 2–3 working days to prepare and file.
4. Stay within composition limits
Late filing attracts a late fee, and staying in composition requires the turnover to remain within the scheme limits (₹1.5 crore generally, ₹75 lakh for special-category states).
5. Keep the composition guardrails
Remember the composition guardrails year-round: no input tax credit, no interstate outward supplies, and every bill of supply must mention that tax is not collectible. Then restart the CMP-08 cycle for the new year.

30 June following the financial year, from FY 2024-25 onwards. For earlier years the deadline was 30 April.
Yes. GSTR-4 is mandatory even for nil turnover - file it as a nil return rather than skipping it.
Rs 200 per day (Rs 100 CGST + Rs 100 SGST), capped at Rs 5,000 per return. The meter runs until you file.
CMP-08 is your quarterly tax payment statement - four instalments through the year. GSTR-4 is the annual return that consolidates the whole year against those payments.
No. That is the trade-off of the composition scheme - lower tax rate and simpler compliance, but no ITC. We make sure you actually benefit from the scheme before recommending it.
Yes - for the period you were under composition. You will also have regular returns for the rest of the year. We handle the split.
Up to Rs 1.5 crore for manufacturers and traders (Rs 75 lakh in special category states), and up to Rs 50 lakh for service providers under the special scheme. Cross it and you must move to regular.
You can, but the CMP-08 reconciliation is where most self-filers go wrong. If your quarterly payments don't tie to the annual return, expect a notice.
