Online Process
QRMP (Quarterly Return, Monthly Payment) is a GST scheme for registered persons with aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore. Under QRMP you file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly but pay tax monthly for the first two months of each quarter using Form GST PMT-06. Quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd or 24th of the month after the quarter, depending on your state. Buyers can be kept on time for input tax credit by uploading B2B invoices through the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF). Opt-in and opt-out are GSTIN-wise and quarter-wise.
8/yr
Returns under QRMPQRMP cuts return filings from 24 a year (12 GSTR-1 + 12 GSTR-3B) to just 8 — four GSTR-1 and four GSTR-3B — while tax is still paid monthly.
Understand It

What Is QRMP Scheme Compliance?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

The QRMP scheme lets small taxpayers file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly while paying tax monthly via Form PMT-06 — cutting return filings from 12 to 4 a year.

Legally

QRMP is available under Rule 61A of the CGST Rules, 2017 to a registered person required to file GSTR-3B whose aggregate turnover was up to ₹5 crore in the preceding financial year. GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are furnished quarterly, and tax for the first two months of a quarter is deposited in Form GST PMT-06.

Governing authority

Administered by the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) under the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), via the portal gst.gov.in.

Validity

A QRMP preference continues quarter to quarter until you opt out or your turnover crosses ₹5 crore. Opt-in / opt-out is GSTIN-wise and quarter-wise within the specified window.

Why It Matters

Why QRMP Scheme Compliance Matters

QRMP reduces your filing load without leaving the regular ITC-based scheme. Here is why staying compliant under QRMP matters.

  1. 01

    Fewer Returns

    File GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B just 4 times a year instead of 12 — less paperwork and fewer deadlines to track.

  2. 02

    Easier Cash Flow

    Pay monthly via PMT-06 using the fixed-sum (35%) method — no need to close the books every month.

  3. 03

    Buyers Keep ITC

    Upload B2B invoices monthly through IFF so your buyers see them in GSTR-2B and claim credit on time.

  4. 04

    Fewer Late Fees

    Fewer return deadlines means fewer chances to miss one — lower risk of ₹50/day late-fee exposure.

  5. 05

    Flexible Opt-In

    Opt in or out GSTIN-wise and quarter-wise — switch as your turnover and business needs change.

  6. 06

    100% Online

    Opt-in, PMT-06 challans, IFF and quarterly returns — all handled on the GST portal, no office visits.

What Information Is Needed for QRMP Filing?

QRMP filing works from your sales, purchase and ITC data each quarter, plus GST portal access. Keep clear records ready — everything is collected securely online.

Choose a data group

GST Account

Portal access for filing
3 documents
  • GSTIN & GST portal login credentials
  • QRMP preference / opt-in status for the quarter
  • Previous quarter’s PMT-06 & GSTR-3B (for fixed-sum reference)

PMT-06 by the 25th

Monthly tax for months 1 & 2 must be deposited in Form GST PMT-06 by the 25th of the following month, using the fixed-sum (35%) or self-assessment method.

IFF is optional but useful

IFF lets you upload B2B invoices in months 1 & 2 (by the 13th) so buyers get ITC on time. Invoices not uploaded via IFF still go into the quarterly GSTR-1.

GSTR-3B due date is state-wise

Quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd (Category-X states/UTs) or 24th (Category-Y states/UTs) of the month after the quarter.

IMS feeds GSTR-2B

Under the Invoice Management System, buyers accept or reject your invoices to claim ITC — keep IFF and quarterly GSTR-1 accurate so their credit flows correctly.

Avoid Delays

Common Mistakes That Delay Your Application

Missing the monthly PMT-06 payment for months 1 & 2
Assuming quarterly returns mean no monthly tax is due
Skipping IFF and delaying your buyers’ input tax credit
Using the 22nd due date when your state is a 24th (Category-Y) state
Not opting in / out within the quarterly window
Ignoring IMS actions so ITC is wrongly claimed or lost
Continuing QRMP after turnover crosses ₹5 crore
Under-paying PMT-06 and filing GSTR-3B late, triggering interest

TaxClue reviews your documents before filing to reduce avoidable errors.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the QRMP scheme in GST?
QRMP (Quarterly Return, Monthly Payment) lets registered persons with aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly while paying tax monthly for the first two months of the quarter through Form GST PMT-06. It cuts return filings from 24 a year to 8.
Who is eligible for the QRMP scheme?
Any registered regular taxpayer whose aggregate turnover was up to ₹5 crore in the preceding financial year can opt for QRMP. If turnover crosses ₹5 crore during the year, you become ineligible from the next quarter and must move to monthly filing.
How is monthly tax paid under QRMP?
For the first two months of each quarter you pay tax via Form GST PMT-06 by the 25th, using either the fixed-sum (35%) method the portal offers or self-assessment of the actual liability. The balance is settled in the quarterly GSTR-3B.
When are GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B due under QRMP?
Both are filed quarterly. Quarterly GSTR-1 is due by the 13th of the month after the quarter. Quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd (Category-X states/UTs) or 24th (Category-Y states/UTs) of the month after the quarter.
What is the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF)?
IFF is an optional facility that lets QRMP taxpayers upload B2B invoices in the first two months of a quarter (by the 13th) so those invoices reflect in the buyer’s GSTR-2B. The buyer can then claim input tax credit on time instead of waiting for the quarterly GSTR-1.
What is the fixed-sum (35%) method?
Under the fixed-sum method the portal pre-fills PMT-06 with 35% of the tax paid in cash in the previous quarter (or the same amount as the last month if you filed monthly). No interest applies on this deposit if the quarterly GSTR-3B is filed on time.
Can I opt in and out of QRMP anytime?
Opt-in and opt-out are GSTIN-wise and quarter-wise. You choose your preference for a quarter within the specified window on the GST portal, and it continues until you change it or become ineligible.
What are the penalties for late QRMP filing?
Late quarterly GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B attracts a late fee of ₹50 per day (₹20 for nil returns), and 18% interest per annum applies on any tax paid late, including shortfalls in the monthly PMT-06 payment.
Do I still need to pay tax every month under QRMP?
Yes. QRMP reduces return filings, not tax payments. You deposit tax for the first two months of each quarter via PMT-06 by the 25th, and the third month’s tax is paid when you file the quarterly GSTR-3B.
What happens to buyer ITC if I do not file IFF?
If you skip IFF, your B2B invoices only appear in the buyer’s records when you file the quarterly GSTR-1. That delays the buyer’s input tax credit to quarter-end. Filing IFF in months 1 & 2 keeps their credit flowing on time.
Is the composition scheme the same as QRMP?
No. QRMP is for regular taxpayers who keep full input tax credit and file GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B quarterly. The composition scheme is a separate low-flat-rate option (filed via CMP-08) with no input tax credit. TaxClue can advise which suits your business.
Can I move from QRMP back to monthly filing?
Yes. You can opt out of QRMP for a quarter within the specified window, or you must move to monthly filing from the next quarter if your aggregate turnover crosses ₹5 crore during the year. The switch is GSTIN-wise on the portal.
How do I opt in to the QRMP scheme on the portal?
Log in at gst.gov.in → Services → Returns → Opt-in for Quarterly Return, select the financial year and quarter, and choose Quarterly. Opt-in is exercised GSTIN-wise and quarter-wise within the specified window (generally between the 1st of the second month of the preceding quarter and the last day of the first month of the quarter), and your previous GSTR-3B must be filed first.
Is there a late fee or interest for missing a PMT-06 payment?
Missing or under-paying the monthly PMT-06 for months 1 or 2 attracts interest at 18% per annum on the shortfall. However, under the fixed-sum (35%) method no interest applies on the deposit if the quarterly GSTR-3B is filed on time. Late filing of the quarterly returns themselves carries a ₹50 per day late fee (₹20 for nil).
What is the difference between IFF and GSTR-1 under QRMP?
The Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) is an optional monthly upload of B2B invoices in months 1 and 2 (by the 13th) so buyers see them in GSTR-2B early. GSTR-1 is the full quarterly outward-supply return filed after the quarter. Invoices uploaded via IFF need not be repeated in GSTR-1; any not uploaded via IFF are reported in the quarterly GSTR-1.
Which states have the 22nd versus the 24th GSTR-3B due date?
Quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd for Category-X states and UTs (largely southern and western states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Kerala) and on the 24th for Category-Y states and UTs (largely northern and eastern states such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and West Bengal). We track the correct date for your registration.
Can I choose QRMP for some GSTINs and monthly filing for others?
Yes. QRMP opt-in is GSTIN-wise, so a business with registrations in multiple states can keep some GSTINs on QRMP and others on monthly filing, based on each one’s turnover and buyer needs. A retainer or CA team can manage the mix centrally across all your registrations.
