🧾 GSTR-7 Filing: TDS Return under GST for Tax Deductors

GSTR-7 is a mandatory return under GST that must be filed by registered tax deductors. It includes details of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 51 of the CGST Act. Filing GSTR-7 ensures that TDS deducted is properly reported and credited to the deductee’s electronic cash ledger.
