🧾 Key Points for NBFC-MFI Entities

  • GST registration is mandatory if turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for special category states).
  • NBFCs providing financial services must classify their outputs under exempt or taxable services accordingly.
  • Proper reconciliation between GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B and purchase registers is crucial.
  • Interest income on loans is exempt under GST; however, processing fees and penalties may attract GST.

📂 Documents Required

  • Sales Register and Purchase Register
  • Input Tax Credit Summary
  • Bank Statements for the period
  • Invoice copies (Taxable and Exempt)
  • Auditor’s Certificate (for Annual Filing)

🔔 Important Notes

Always file your GST returns before due dates to avoid late fees and penalties. Late filing leads to ₹50 per day for NIL return and ₹100 per day for others (₹50 CGST + ₹50 SGST). For NBFC-MFIs, accurate GST filing ensures transparency and better financial compliance with RBI and MCA regulations.
