Missing a deadline doesn\u2019t just mean a late fee \u2014 it can block Input Tax Credit (ITC) for your customers, disrupt cash flow, and even invite compliance notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to GSTN data, over 1.4 crore taxpayers are registered under GST, and nearly 12\u201315% of returns are delayed every month \u2014 mostly due to last-minute filing or reconciliation errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>October 2025 is a critical month. With the festive season driving sales and operations, many businesses tend to overlook filing schedules. This blog provides a complete GST calendar for October 2025, explains why these filings matter, and shares a compliance checklist to help you stay penalty-free.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GST Filing Deadlines in October 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s your GST compliance calendar:<br><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><strong>Due Date<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Form<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Applicable To<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>10 Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-7<\/td><td>Persons deducting TDS under GST<\/td><td>Monthly TDS return<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>10 Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-8<\/td><td>E-commerce operators<\/td><td>Monthly TCS return<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>11 Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-1 (Monthly)<\/td><td>Taxpayers with turnover &gt; \u20b95 crore or opted for monthly filing<\/td><td>Outward supplies return<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>13 Oct 2025<br><\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-1 (IFF)<strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>QRMP taxpayers using Invoice Furnishing Facility<strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Upload B2B invoices for ITC claims<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>20 Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-3B (Monthly)<\/td><td>Taxpayers with turnover &gt; \u20b95 crore<\/td><td>Summary return of outward + inward supplies and tax payment<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>22 Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-3B (QRMP, Group 1)<\/td><td>States: CG, MP, GJ, MH, KA, GA, KL, TN, TG, AP, D&amp;D, DNH, LD, PY, A&amp;N<\/td><td>Quarterly return filers (first group)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>24 Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td><td>GSTR-3B (QRMP, Group 2)<\/td><td>States: J&amp;K, HP, PB, CH, UK, HR, DL, RJ, UP, BR, SK, NE states, WB, JH, OD<\/td><td>Quarterly return filers (second group)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Pro Tip :<\/strong><br>Mark these dates in your compliance calendar or use accounting software with GST reminders.
