Now let’s discuss one by one all about GSTR-6 (Goods and Services Tax Return-6).

What is GSTR-6?

GSTR-6 is a monthly return i.e., required to be filed every month by the person registered as Input Service Distributor (ISD).

Wherein ISD has to provide detailed information regarding Input Tax Credit (ITC) received and distributed by him.
