One GST return period - a calendar month (month + year) tagged with the Indian financial year it falls in. The scheduled GST-return provisioning job auto-rolls the target period (creating it with an Open status if absent) and then creates one Draft return header per active own GST registration for it: GSTR1, GSTR2B and GSTR3B for normal filers (GSTR3B links via its ReturnPeriodId field) and GSTR6 for ISD registrations. Form 26AS statements also key on it. This is the GST filing calendar; it is separate from the accounting FiscalPeriod used for ledger period close.
