The decision was taken as taxpayers had complained of slowness in GSTN portal, the Board said earlier.
“CBIC has received an Incident Report from GSTN regarding slowness in the System along with a proposal for extending the due date,” it said on Thursday.
Taxpayers have reported slowness in portal while filing GSTR 3B return today. The persistence of the issue is acknowledged. Technical teams are working to resolve the issue. An incident report has been sent to CBIC for considering extension in the return filing dates.

“We continue to monitor the matter closely and the proposal for extension is being examined in consultation with the GST Council so that there is no burden of late fees or interest on the taxpayer.”
Form GSTR-3B is a simplified summary return and the purpose of the return is for taxpayers to declare their summary GST liabilities for a particular tax period and discharge these liabilities.
A normal taxpayer is required to file Form GSTR-3B returns for every tax period.
Generally, the 20th of every month is the last date for filing GSTR 3B.
