Return-July-17

[Kamdev Senapati]

We have applied for registration in the month of August-17 and the registration has approved on 28th of August.

Whether we need to file return for the month of Jule or wait for Augsut Return..

Kindly Suggest....

If you began the business in August 2017 only you are not required to file return for July. If your business is a continuing one before July 2017 you have to file July 2017 return.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

You have obtained registration in the month of Aug 2017. Hence in my view you are suppose to file return for aug 2017 and onward.
