Hello Friends,

As we all know that CBEC has extended the date for filing of ST-3 for IInd Qtr (i.e. July-Sep, 2012) to 30th April, 2013.

But what about the filing of ST-3 for the period Oct-Mar,2013? Will it be the same date i.e 25th April,2013?

We have to file the ST-3 for the period Oct-Mar,2013 by 25th April,2013?

Plz reply me as soon as possible..

Regards

Khushboo Goyal

Yes Khushboo,

Since nothing has been notified for the Return to be filed for Oct-Mar, the date remains as it is....i.e. 25 April.

though, since the jul-sep return is postponed to April 30, th return for oct-mar may also be postponed, but as of now nothing is announced.

I feel the Central Governement and the department is responsible for all the confusion arising among the honest taxpayers. On one hand, it is advertising to pay taxes and file returns in time to avoid tension and to sleep in peace and on the other hand the necessary online forms/utility is not being updated until the last minute. When the last date for filing return for the quarter July to Sep, 2012 has been extended to 30th April, 2013 then at that very time, the department should had sensibley and in pubic interest extended the date for 2nd Half (Oct to March, 2013) from 25-04-13 to say upto 31-05-2013.

Since the online utility has not yet been provided, i strongly believe that the governemnt will soon announce the extension of date for 2nd Half for atleast 1 month, so that the returns can be filed smoothly without choking the central servers!!! So relaxx...and wait for the govt. to act!!!
