GSTR-6 is a monthly return to be filed by a registered Input Service Distributor (ISD) under GST. It contains details of all input tax credit (ITC) received and its distribution to various units or branches (with same PAN but different GSTINs). The ISD mechanism allows centralized billing and distribution of ITC on services like audit fees, legal consultation, rent, etc., ensuring smooth flow of credit across a company’s different registrations.

GSTR-6 must be filed by all Input Service Distributors (ISDs) registered under GST. ISD is a registered office (usually head office) that: - Receives invoices for input services centrally - Distributes ITC to other registered branches having the same PAN Example: - A company's head office in Delhi receives consultancy services billed to its GSTIN and distributes the credit to branches in Mumbai and Bangalore.
GSTR-6 is a monthly return and must be filed by the 13th of the following month. For example: - Transactions in April → GSTR-6 due by 13th May Timely filing is critical as it affects the credit reflected in the recipient branches’ GSTR-2B.
