ANNOUNCEMENT

The announcement has been made in 31^st GST council meeting held on 22^nd December, 2018 that the due date for GST annual return has been extended to 30^th June 2019.

The Government had earlier extended the last date for filing annual returns to 31^st March, 2019 from 31^st December, 2018 as at that time the format for filing of GST annual return is not available anywhere even not on GST portal.

Now the further extension of 3 months i.e., upto 30^th June, 2019 would give reasonable time to the industry to appropriately file these returns and to provide a reasonable time for the industry to collate the information required to be disclosed in the forms.

The press release also stated that the relevant forms i.e., Form GSTR-9, Form GSTR-9A and Form GSTR-9C shall be made available on the GST portal shortly.
