GSTR 7

GSTR 7 is the return that has to be filed by the tax deductor about tax deducted at the source. Deductor is required to file the return and has to provide the detail of the amount of TDS in his return. When the deductor pays the amount of TDS, it shall get reflected into the credit ledger of the deductee. The deductee shall claim credit, in his electronic cash ledger, of the tax deducted by the deductor.
