WhatsApp template: filing completed

When a return, registration or filing is done.

In short

A utility template, sent when a return, registration or filing is done. Usually sent outside the 24-hour window, so it is charged: ₹0.115 per message in India, before GST.

The template

Hi {{1}}, your {{2}} has been filed on {{3}}. Acknowledgement {{4}} attached. {{5}}. Your next date: {{6}} — we will remind you. Reply here with any question.

Utility · 6 variables

Variables

  1. {{1}} — Client name
  2. {{2}} — Matter
  3. {{3}} — Date
  4. {{4}} — Acknowledgement or reference number
  5. {{5}} — Fee line, e.g. 'Fee of ₹1,500 received, receipt attached'
  6. {{6}} — Next statutory date and what it is

Filled in

Hi Mr Iyer, your GST return for September has been filed on 18 October. Acknowledgement ARN AA290926003118K attached. Fee of ₹1,500 received, receipt attached. Your next date: 20 November for October's return — we will remind you. Reply here with any question.

When to send it, and what gets it rejected

The acknowledgement is what the client forwards to their bank or auditor; putting the number in the text saves a call. The next date is written onto the client's record and drives the reminder.

Submitting it to Meta

Create it in WhatsApp Manager (or through your tool) with the category Utility, paste the body with the {{n}} variables, and give each variable a sample value from the example above — Meta’s review reads the samples. Approval usually takes minutes to a few hours. If it comes back re-categorised as marketing, a line in the body reads as promotional; remove it rather than argue.

What it costs to send

In India, Meta charges ₹0.115 per delivered message for a utility template, plus 18% GST, when it is sent outside the customer’s 24-hour window. Inside the window it has been charged at the same rate since 1 October 2026. The pricing guide has the full rate card; Linkubit adds nothing to it.

Send it without typing it

In Linkubit this template is a step the assistant sends on its own when the moment arrives — the enquiry lands, the visit is booked, the shipment moves — with the variables filled from the record. Start free and connect your number.

Questions about this template

Is "Filing completed" a utility or a marketing template?

Utility. It is about the customer's own transaction, so it needs no separate opt-in, and it is charged at the utility rate inside and outside the 24-hour window since 1 October 2026.

What does it cost to send "Filing completed" in India?

₹0.115 per delivered message before 18% GST, on Meta's published rate as read on 18 September 2026. It is usually sent outside the window, so it is charged from the first message. Meta bills your own account; nothing is added.

Can I change the wording of "Filing completed"?

Yes. Keep the variables in order and none at the start or end of the body, keep the category honest — no offer, discount or "limited time" line in a utility message — and resubmit; the previous version keeps working until the new one is approved. The template checker tests a draft before you submit it.
