Supreme Court up-helds judgement of Rajasthan High court for extension of due date for GSTR 9/ 9C

Honorable Rajasthan High Court had ordered extension for filing of GSTR 9/9C upto 12.02.2020 without any late fees as tax payers were facing difficulty in filing the annual return.

Against the above order GST department had made a Special Leave Petition before Honorable Supreme Court and Supreme court has ordered in favor of Tax bar Association stating that no late fee of Rs. 200 shall be charged for any annual return filed before 12.02.2020. It was also argued by the Tax Bar association that capacity of the GST website is very limited and hence all are not able to file the return at once and hence it was again ordered by the Honorable Apex court to the GST department, to look into this matter and make it practicable.
