QRMP in short

Under the QRMP (Quarterly Return, Monthly Payment) scheme, eligible taxpayers file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly instead of monthly — but still pay tax every month via PMT-06 (fixed-sum or self-assessment). It's electable only up to ₹5 croreaggregate turnover. Fewer return filings can mean less monthly admin, but you still track monthly payments and your buyers' input-credit timing can differ — weigh it with your CA.

A worked example

A services firm with ₹3 crore turnover can elect QRMP — filing GSTR-1/3B once a quarter and paying via PMT-06 monthly. A firm above ₹5 crore must file monthly.
