Can I just stop filing GST returns?

No. Returns remain due and late fees accrue per day per return until the registration is formally cancelled.

Is a final return needed after cancellation?

Yes. A final return is due after cancellation, and missing it leaves the matter open even though the registration has ended.

Can I cancel with pending returns?

Pending returns generally have to be filed before cancellation is accepted, so clearing them is part of the process.

Can Webdoid Technologies handle this from Bhopal?

Yes. We file from our Bhopal office and answer the department's queries ourselves. Documents come by WhatsApp or email.

There is no fixed price, because the right fee depends on scope. You get a written, itemised quote - government fees separate - usually the same working day.

HRA Exemption Calculator

House Rent Allowance is exempt only up to the lowest of three limits. This shows all three, so you can see which one is capping you.

Basic salary + DA (per year, Rs)

HRA received (per year, Rs)

Rent actually paid (per year, Rs)

Rates used: FY 2026-27 (AY 2027-28). This is an estimate to help you plan, not a filing. Your actual liability depends on details this form does not ask for. Confirm with us before you pay or file anything.

Why the answer is almost never the full HRA

People assume the HRA line in their salary slip is tax-free. It is exempt only up to the lowest of three figures, and for most salaried people in Bhopal it is the third one that does the capping.

The HRA you actually received. You cannot exempt more than you were paid.
Rent paid minus 10% of salary. If your rent is low relative to salary this drops fast, and if rent is under 10% of salary the exemption is nil.
50% of salary in a metro, 40% everywhere else. Bhopal and Indore are non-metro, so the ceiling here is 40%. This catches out people who move from Delhi or Mumbai and expect the same exemption.

Salary here means basic pay plus dearness allowance, not your full CTC. Using CTC inflates all three numbers and produces an exemption you cannot defend if it is questioned.

Common questions

Yes, and your employer will ask for them. If annual rent crosses Rs 1,00,000 you also need the landlord PAN. Without proof the exemption gets disallowed at assessment, and by then the tax is payable with interest.

No. HRA exemption is an old-regime benefit. If you are on the new regime this calculation does not apply to you, which is exactly why the regime choice is worth working out properly instead of leaving on default.

It can, but the arrangement has to be real: they must own the property, payment must actually happen, and they must show the rent as income in their own return. Done casually it does not survive scrutiny.

A number is not a filing

This tool gives you the figure. Getting the filing right — the correct form, the documents, the deadline, the department — is the part that costs people money when it goes wrong. Send us your case and we will tell you what actually applies to you.
