GSTR-1 Due Date for May 2025 Final Reminder for Monthly Filers
If you’re a monthly GST filer, the GSTR-1 due date for May 2025 is today — 11th June 2025. The deadline is critical for businesses not under the QRMP scheme. Delays attract late fees and can disrupt compliance status.
Who Needs to File GSTR-1 Today?
This applies only to monthly filers, i.e., taxpayers not opted into the QRMP (Quarterly Return Monthly Payment) scheme.
You’re expected to file GSTR-1 every month if:
- Your turnover exceeds ₹5 crore
- You voluntarily opted for monthly filing
- You’re not under QRMP for the quarter Apr–Jun 2025
Consequences of Missing the GSTR-1 Deadline
Missing today’s deadline could lead to:
- Late fee under Section 47 of CGST Act
- Ineligibility to generate e-way bills (if GSTR-1 is pending for 2+ months)
- Disruption in recipient’s ITC claims (your client may lose input credit)
- Non-compliance alerts on GSTN portal
Legal Reference & Notification
As per Rule 59(1) of the CGST Rules, GSTR-1 must be filed by the 11th of the following month for non-QRMP filers.

Expert Tip from Efiletax
Even one late GSTR-1 filing can trigger compliance ratings to fall. If you missed April GSTR-1 too, your e-way bill generation could be blocked. Stay consistent, even if no outward supply.
