Extension of due dates for GST returns
In certain unavoidable and reasonable conditions, the government considers extending the due dates for GST return filings. For example, in the past, the Government has extended the due dates for GSTR 1, GSTR 3B, GSTR 9, and GSTR 9C. And allowed GSTR-4 for the periods from July 2017 to March 2019 (FY 2017-18 to 2021-22) to be filed between April 1, 2023, and June 30, 2023. During this period, a concessional late fee applies, waived off for amounts exceeding Rs. 250 per return. If the return is nil, we will not charge a late fee.
But in general the above are the GST due date return filings. So if you fall into any of the above categories, file your GST return with Ebizfiling.
