GSTR-3B :: Nil Filing GST

Step 1: Initiate the GST filing by sending an SMS to 14409 from your GST registered mobile number. An authorized representative for a particular GSTIN number is allowed to file the Nil Form GSTR-3B through SMS. However, the registered mobile number of such a representative cannot be common with other authorized representatives for the same GSTIN. 

The message should be as follows:

NIL<space>3B<space>GSTIN number<space>Tax period in MMYYYY.

Example:

NIL 3B 33XXXXXXXXXXXZC 072020

The user will then receive a six-digit validation code from VD-GSTIND, which will have a validity of 30 minutes.

Step 2: Confirm the NIL filing with another SMS:
CNF<space>3B<Space>Code

CNF<space>3B<Space>ValidationCode

Example:

CNF 3B 56789

A receipt message will come with an ARN code.

The ARN code received can be used to track the status of the return at www.gst.gov.in, by going to Services > Returns > Track Return.

For help, users can SMS HELP 3B to 14409.
