Hyderabad businesses file GSTR-1 by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th of every month, or quarterly under the QRMP scheme. Missing a deadline costs a late fee of Rs 50 a day (Rs 20 a day for nil returns) plus 18% interest on tax paid late, and repeated non-filing can lead to cancellation of your GSTIN.
The harder part is not the filing itself. It is reconciling your purchases with GSTR-2B every month so you claim only the credit you are entitled to. This guide covers what GST filing services in Hyderabad include, what they cost, whether you need a CA at all, and how to register if you have not yet.

How Much Does GST Filing Cost in Hyderabad?
The GST portal charges nothing to file returns. What you pay a professional depends on invoice volume, whether GSTR-2B reconciliation is included, and extras such as e-invoicing or refunds.
Typical market ranges
Basic GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing (single GSTIN, turnover below Rs 1 crore): Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 a month. Check whether reconciliation is included, because many basic plans only enter the figures you provide.
Filing with GSTR-2B reconciliation (turnover Rs 1 to 5 crore, regular B2B purchases): Rs 4,000 to Rs 8,000 a month.
Complex compliance (turnover Rs 5 to 20 crore, e-invoicing, multiple GSTINs): Rs 8,000 to Rs 18,000 a month, often including GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C.
Large businesses (multi-state, ongoing refunds): Rs 20,000 a month or more.
Red flag: online listings advertise GST filing from a few hundred rupees per return. At that price, check exactly what is filed and whether anyone reviews your GSTR-2B before GSTR-3B.

| Retail Shops GST Package (GST plus TDS filings) | Rs 2,100 / month |

Reconciliation with GSTR-2B is included in every monthly filing plan. Above 500 transactions a month, fees are quoted after a volume review. See the GST return filing service for details.
Can You File GST Without a CA?
Yes. GST law does not require a chartered accountant to file returns. Any registered person can log in to gst.gov.in and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and the portal pre-fills much of GSTR-3B from your GSTR-1 and GSTR-2B.
Filing yourself works if you have a small number of invoices, mostly B2C sales, few purchases with GST, and no exports or e-invoicing.
A professional helps if you have many B2B purchases to reconcile, suppliers who file late, exports under LUT, a refund to claim, multiple GSTINs, or a notice such as DRC-01C or ASMT-10.
If you do use someone, keep the GST portal login in your own name and ask for a copy of every return filed.
Do You Need GST Registration Below Rs 20 Lakh?
In Telangana, registration becomes mandatory once aggregate turnover crosses Rs 20 lakh in a financial year. This applies to goods and services alike, because Telangana did not adopt the higher Rs 40 lakh limit for goods that most other states use.
Below Rs 20 lakh, you do not need to register or pay GST on your sales, except in these cases:
- You sell goods to buyers in other states
- You are a casual taxable person or non-resident taxable person
- You are required to pay tax under reverse charge
- You sell goods through an e-commerce platform, unless you sell only within Telangana under the PAN-based enrolment option
Aggregate turnover includes exempt sales and exports, but not GST itself. If you register voluntarily below the limit, you must charge GST on sales and file returns like any other registered business.
How to Apply for GST Registration in Hyderabad
- Gather documents: PAN of the business, PAN, Aadhaar and photograph of each proprietor, partner or director, electricity bill or property tax receipt for the premises, rent agreement or owner NOC if the premises are not yours, and the partnership deed, LLP agreement or incorporation certificate if applicable.
- Part A of Form REG-01: on gst.gov.in, go to Services, Registration, New Registration. Enter the legal name as per PAN, PAN, email and mobile. Verify the OTPs to get a Temporary Reference Number (TRN).
- Part B of Form REG-01: log in with the TRN, fill business, promoter and place-of-business details (state: Telangana), add HSN or SAC codes, upload documents and opt for Aadhaar authentication.
- Submit with EVC or a digital signature. The ARN is generated immediately.
- Approval: the officer approves or raises a query (reply in Form REG-04) within 7 working days, or up to 30 days if physical verification is ordered. Download the certificate (REG-06) from the portal.
- Add bank details within 30 days of registration or before filing your first GSTR-1, whichever is earlier.
For the full checklist, see our GST registration service.
Why Hyderabad Businesses Need Dedicated GST Filing Support
Every GSTIN in Telangana starts with state code 36. Sales within Telangana attract CGST and SGST (for an 18% item, 9% each), while sales to other states attract IGST at the full rate. Getting the place of supply right on each invoice is the first thing a filing service should check.
IT and software exporters in HITEC City and Madhapur export services under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) without charging GST. They build up input tax credit on rent, software and cloud costs, which can be refunded under Section 54. The LUT has to be renewed every financial year before exports continue without tax.
Pharma and medical device distributors in the Nacharam and Azamabad belt handle a mix of exempt items, 5% medicines (most medicines moved to 5% under GST 2.0 in September 2025) and 18% devices. HSN errors multiply across thousands of invoice lines, and businesses with exempt supplies must reverse ITC under Rules 42 and 43.
E-commerce and D2C sellers receive TCS credit of 0.5% from marketplaces, which must be matched with the operator's statement and claimed in the cash ledger. Businesses whose turnover has crossed Rs 5 crore in any year must issue e-invoices for B2B sales.
Our guide on choosing a GST consultant in Hyderabad lists the questions that expose a weak filing practice before you sign.
What GST Filing Services in Hyderabad Actually Do (Month-to-Month)
Between the 1st and 11th: Collect the sales register and prepare GSTR-1. Flag B2B invoices without the buyer's GSTIN, separate nil-rated and exempt supplies, and check HSN or SAC codes. For exporters, confirm export invoices are marked zero-rated with the LUT reference.
On the 14th: GSTR-2B is generated, showing input tax credit from invoices your suppliers reported. Accept, reject or keep pending each invoice in the Invoice Management System (IMS).
Between the 14th and 18th: Reconcile GSTR-2B with your purchase register. Since January 2022, Section 16(2)(aa) allows ITC only for invoices that appear in GSTR-2B, so missing invoices mean chasing suppliers or deferring the claim.
By the 18th: Prepare GSTR-3B with reconciled figures, including reversals (Rule 37 for suppliers not paid within 180 days, Rules 42 and 43 for exempt supplies) and the split between cash and credit ledger payment.
By the 20th: File GSTR-3B and pay the tax. A late return attracts Rs 50 a day (Rs 20 a day for nil returns) plus 18% interest on tax paid late.
Ongoing: GSTR-9 by 31 December, LUT renewal for exporters, replies to notices, e-invoicing for businesses above Rs 5 crore, and e-way bills for goods movement.

How to Choose a GST Filing Service in Hyderabad
Step 1: Check who does the work
Ask whether a CA, a GST practitioner or an accountant prepares your returns, and who reviews them before filing. For a CA, verify the membership number on the ICAI website.
Step 2: Ask about GSTR-2B reconciliation
This is the most revealing question. Many practices include only GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data entry in the base fee. Since ITC in GSTR-3B is driven by GSTR-2B, and large gaps trigger DRC-01C intimations, make sure reconciliation is included in writing.
Step 3: Confirm the reminder workflow
A well-run practice asks for your sales and purchase data well before the 11th and follows up if it has not arrived. Ask what happens if a deadline is missed because data came late.
Step 4: Ask about annual GSTR-9
GSTR-9 reconciles all monthly returns with your books. Ask whether it is included or priced separately, and how mismatches found at year end are handled.
Step 5: Ask what happens when a notice arrives
Notices under Section 61 (scrutiny), Section 73 or 74 (demands), or a DRC-01C intimation have a response deadline in the notice itself. Ask who drafts the reply, what it costs, and how you will be kept informed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does GST filing cost in Hyderabad?
The government charges no fee to file GST returns on time. Professional fees depend on the number of invoices. At Tax Garden, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing costs Rs 1,500 a month for up to 100 transactions, Rs 3,000 for up to 225 and Rs 5,000 for up to 500, with GSTR-2B reconciliation included. The Retail Shops GST Package at Rs 2,100 a month adds TDS filings. GSTR-9 annual returns are priced separately, from Rs 7,000 for turnover of Rs 2 to 5 crore.
Can I file GST without a CA?
Yes. Any registered taxpayer can file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B on gst.gov.in using their own login, and there is no legal requirement to use a CA. Many small businesses with few invoices file themselves. A professional helps most when you have B2B purchases to reconcile with GSTR-2B, exports, e-invoicing, or a notice to answer.
How to apply for GST registration in Hyderabad?
Apply online on gst.gov.in under Services, Registration, New Registration. Part A takes your PAN, email and mobile to generate a TRN; Part B takes business details, the Hyderabad place of business, promoter details and documents, with Aadhaar authentication. The officer must approve or raise a query within 7 working days, or up to 30 days if physical verification is ordered. Telangana GSTINs start with 36.
Do I need to pay GST if turnover is below 20 lakhs?
Generally no. In Telangana, a business whose aggregate turnover stays below Rs 20 lakh in a financial year does not have to register, and an unregistered business does not charge or pay GST on its sales. Registration is still compulsory below this limit for interstate sellers of goods and a few other cases. If you register voluntarily, you must charge GST and file returns even below Rs 20 lakh.
What is included in Tax Garden's GST filing service in Hyderabad?
Monthly or quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing, GSTR-2B and IMS reconciliation before each GSTR-3B, deadline reminders, same-day filing acknowledgements, and WhatsApp support in English, Telugu or Hindi.
