Relief for GST Taxpayers: Extension of Deadline for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B Due to Technical Issues




In a recent announcement, the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has extended the filing deadline for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns due to technical issues with the GST portal. This extension significantly relieves taxpayers who depend on the portal to submit their monthly returns.


Technical Glitch and Its Impact on GST Filings


The GST portal, which is the primary platform for filing returns and conducting other GST-related activities, encountered technical difficulties that disrupted the filing process. As a result, many taxpayers were unable to complete their GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings by the initial deadline. This glitch raised concerns among businesses, especially those dealing with a high volume of transactions, as they rely on these filings for accurate tax reporting and compliance.


Government's Response


In response to taxpayers' issues, the GSTN quickly addressed the situation and issued a notice extending the deadline for filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns. This extension gives businesses additional time to file their returns, ensuring they are not penalized for issues stemming from the portal's technical failures. 


The GSTN has assured stakeholders that it is working diligently to resolve the technical glitches and enhance the reliability of the portal in the future. The government has reiterated its commitment to ensuring smooth and efficient tax compliance for businesses under the GST regime.


Key Points to Remember


- The deadline for filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B has been extended, allowing taxpayers more time to complete their returns without facing penalties.

- Taxpayers should take advantage of this extended period to ensure that their filings are accurate and comprehensive.

- The GSTN has confirmed it is addressing the technical issues and working to improve the portal's performance.

- Businesses are encouraged to regularly check the portal for updates and stay informed about any further extensions or changes in the filing process.


Conclusion

Although technical problems with the GST portal have caused inconvenience for taxpayers, the government's timely intervention in extending the filing deadlines has provided much-needed relief. It is essential for businesses to utilize this extension and ensure compliance with GST regulations. As the GSTN works to resolve the portal's technical issues, taxpayers can continue to focus on fulfilling their obligations without the added pressure of approaching deadlines.

Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi on Tuesday during a session titled ‘Waging Peace: Looking Back to Look Ahead’ , Tharoor candidly admitted that India’s diplomatic approach has, in hindsight, positioned the country as a potential peacemaker on the global stage.

Delhi High Court Denies Maintenance to Educated Wife: A Landmark Ruling

  In a recent judgment, the Delhi High Court held that a well-educated woman, capable of earning a living, should not remain unemployed just to claim maintenance from her husband. The ruling came in response to a revision petition filed by a woman challenging a family court’s 2022 decision that denied her interim maintenance. The Court’s Stand on Maintenance Justice Chandra Dhari Singh stated that Section 125 of the CrPC aims to protect dependent spouses, children, and parents but does not encourage idleness. He asserted that women with professional qualifications and work experience should make efforts to become financially independent rather than relying on alimony. The court upheld the family court’s decision, noting that the petitioner had a Master’s degree in International Business from the University of Wollongong, Australia , which demonstrated her capability to earn. Furthermore, she had previously worked in Dubai as an Audit Associate at KPMG and later as an HR Manage...
