GST return filing: The last date for filing December GSTR-1 is January 13, while taxpayers opting for quarterly payment under the QRMP scheme for the October-December period will be January 15.
GST return filing: The government on Friday, January 10, extended the deadline for filing monthly GST sales return form GSTR-1 and GST payment by two days after taxpayers reported technical glitches in the GST Network (GSTN) system. The deadline extension was announced after the GSTN requested an extension due to the ongoing technical snags in the portal.
According to a notification by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), the last date for filing GSTR-1 for December is January 13, while that for taxpayers opting for quarterly payment under the QRMP scheme for the October-December period will be January 15.
GST return filing deadline extended amid technical snag
Normally, the last date for filing GSTR-1 for monthly return filers is January 11, 2025, while for quarterly taxpayers, it is January 13, 2025. The deadline for the GST payment by filing GSTR-3B for December has been extended to January 22, 2025, from the existing date of January 20, 2025.
For taxpayers who pay GST quarterly, the due date has been extended to January 24 and January 26, depending on the state-wise registration of the business. The GST Network has been facing technical glitches since Thursday as taxpayers were unable to generate summary of GSTR-1 and file the return.
Earlier in the day, GST Network said in a post on X that it had sent an "incident report" to the CBIC on the system's technical glitches and requested an extension of the filing date of the GST sales return or GSTR-1.
"GST portal is currently experiencing technical issues and is under maintenance. We expect the portal to be operational by 12:00 noon. CBIC is being sent an incident report to consider an extension in filing date," GST Tech, the official handle of GSTN, said in a post on X. The last date for filing GSTR-1 for the month of December 2024 is January 11, 2025.
