Hurry up! Barely 24 hours left for filing September GSTR-3B; here’s step-by-step process : 25-10-2018

On Sunday, the Finance Ministry extended the deadline for filing the GSTR-3B form for the month of September just by 5 days. The deadline is ending tomorrow. Since the deadline has already been extended, mainly due to technical glitches, it is highly unlikely for the government to extend it again.

Please note that the last date for availing Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the period from July 2017 to March 2018 is either December 31 or the date of filing of the annual return, whichever is the earlier.

The GST Council is in the process of implementing a simpler GST returns filing form. Until then, GSTR-3B will continue. Businesses that have opted for composition scheme under the GST do not need to file details of purchases made from their vendors at the time filing the quarterly GSTR-4 return, the government clarified recently.
