GSTN is conducting a pilot test on return filing. It will be a live test using 4,000 taxpayers.Once the goods and services tax (GST) is implemented from July 1, over 80 lakh assessees are expected to log on to GSTN after a month to start filing their monthly returns.

Every taxpayer would have three returns to be uploaded every month, including GSTR 1 for outward supplies, GSTR 2 for Inward supplies and GSTR 3 final return, apart from one annual return. So total 37 returns to be filled in a year by the regular tax payer.

The pilot test is expected to help in removing anomalies in the system.|

The results of the pilot test are also expected to be shared with the GST Council in its next meeting later this month.
