GSTR 3B: CBIC is considering extending the GSTR 3B filing date for technical reasons

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is considering a proposal to extend the deadline for taxpayers to file GSTR 3B due to a technical error in filing their April returns.

“Considering the problems that taxpayers are facing in filing their GSTR-3B for the month of April 2022, a proposal to extend the deadline for filing GSTR-3B for April 2022 is under active consideration. Sorry about the inconvenience to taxpayers, “said CBIC’s official Twitter handle.

The government has given instructions

Fix errors as soon as possible.

“The government has instructed Infosys for a preliminary solution. The technical team is working to deliver the GSTR-2B and will soon be working to automatically correct the crowded GSTR-3B, ”said CBIC’s official Twitter handle.

GSTR-3B is a self-proclaimed summary GST return that is filed every month with taxpayers’ summary sales figures, input tax credit claims and net tax payable in GSTR-3B. A separate GSTR-3B file is required for each GSTIN.

For the current month, taxpayers have reported problems with the auto-population of GSTR-2B in April 2022 and GSTR-3B on the portal.

In some cases, the GSTR-2B statement for the month of April 2022 does not reflect certain records. However, such records were visible in the GSTR-2A of such recipients.

After receiving the complaint, the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) issued a consultation on May 15 regarding incomplete GSTR-2B.

“It has been noted that in some cases, certain records for the month of April 2022 are not reflected in the GSTR-2B statement. However, such records are visible in the GSTR-2A of such recipients. The technical team is working to address this issue for affected taxpayers and is developing a new GSTR-2B soon, “it said in a statement.

It asks affected taxpayers who wish to file GSTR-38 to file a self-assessment return using GSTR-2A.

However, the number of such complaints has increased significantly.
