How to track GST due dates for many clients at once

Last updated 1 November 2026 · by Venu Gopal Reddy Muvva, founder

Set each client's GST filing frequency once (monthly or QRMP) and CABookkeeper puts the right GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, IFF, PMT-06 and GSTR-9 dates on its calendar. The dashboard shows what is due and what is waiting for review, the filing status grid shows every client against every return, and reminder emails go out 3 days before each date.

Steps in CABookkeeper

  1. 1. Set the GST frequency

    When you add a client with a GSTIN, choose monthly or QRMP. The state and PAN are read from the GSTIN.

    Set the GST frequency

  2. 2. Check the dashboard

    The dashboard lists deadlines coming up, filings waiting for your review, and risk flags in the books.

  3. 3. Open the status grid

    Practice → Filing status shows GST returns for every client in one grid, so a stuck client is easy to spot.

    Open the status grid

  4. 4. Collect what is missing

    From the client's Client chat & docs tab, send a secure upload link by email or your own WhatsApp. If nothing arrives in 3 days it shows as a follow-up.

Monthly vs QRMP dates

Monthly filers get GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B every month. QRMP filers get IFF for the first two months of a quarter, PMT-06 payments, and GSTR-3B on the 22nd or 24th depending on their state. CABookkeeper uses the state code in the GSTIN to pick the right date.

When CABookkeeper is not the right tool

CABookkeeper doesn't log in to the GST portal for you or file returns; you file and record the ARN. If you need a tool that files through a GSP, it isn't this one yet.
