Taxpayer is filing quarterly GSTR1 and monthly IFF. In this case there is one tab of TABLE 6A on GST Portal. Is this required to be compulsorily filed even if it is NIL on monthly basis just like IFF?

Yes, Table 6A on the GST Portal is required to be filed even if it is nil. Here’s why:
1. **Monthly Reporting Requirement**: Table 6A is meant for reporting details of input tax credit (ITC) received from an Input Service Distributor (ISD). Even if there are no transactions or no ITC received from ISD in a particular month, you still need to file a nil return for Table 6A.
2. **Compliance Requirement**: Under GST rules, it is mandatory to file all applicable tables in GSTR-1 and other returns, including nil returns where there are no transactions to report. This ensures compliance with GST regulations and maintains accurate records for reconciliation and audit purposes.
3. **Consistency in Filing**: Filing nil returns ensures that your GST filings are complete and up-to-date for each tax period. It also prevents any potential compliance issues or penalties that may arise from not filing required returns.
Therefore, even if there are no transactions to report under Table 6A for a particular month, you should still log into the GST Portal and file a nil return for Table 6A along with your other filings like GSTR-1 and IFF (if applicable). This practice helps maintain compliance with GST laws and keeps your tax records accurate.
