In view of the difficulties expressed by the taxpayers in meeting this time limit, the Government has decided to further extend the due date for furnishing GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C for the financial year 2019-20 to 31.03.2021 with the approval of the Election Commission of India.
Whereas no one can deny government the right to introduce and to withdraw any provisions in different tax statutes, at the same time the professional and business community deserve a certain degree of assurance with regard to compliance provisions so as not to build up facilities which may be left redundant because of sudden changes in laws
Last month, the government had extended the last date for filing GST annual return and audit report for 2018-19 fiscal by a month till October 31, 2020.
