Due Date of GSTR-1 for July 2017 Extended till 10th October

.
The Government on Saturday extended the due date for filing of GSTR 1 to 10th October from 10th September.

.

.
On the basis of the decision taken by the GST Council today, the government has also decided to form a 3-member inter-ministerial team to look at the technical issues around GSTN and the problems users were facing in uploading their returns on the portal.
.
According to the government 45 plus lakh GSTR-3B returns have been filed, and only 17 lakh GSTR-1 had been filed till Friday. Around 13 plus crore invoices had been filed. However, with the GST portal crashing frequently, there has been widespread outrage among taxpayers about their inability in filing returns.
.
The GST Network was down due to heavy rush of returns and several traders and businesses. Consequently, the Government, on September 4th, had extended the due date for filing returns for July, giving taxpayers extra time for compliance.
