GST returns which are filed are soon going to be removed from the GST portal. Taxpayers won't be able to access their return data after specified years.
Important Update
Advisory on 29th Sep 2024
An opportunity for taxpayers to download and securely save the important data as the data has been restored on the portal.
An advisory was issued on 29th September 2024 regarding "Restoration of Archived GST Return Data".
Advisory on 24th Sep 2024
An advisory has been issued where two most important points are:
- Taxpayers will not be able to file their GST returns, if three years have passed from the original due date of the return.
- Old data will be removed from the portal which means taxpayers can view return data for seven years only. After this period, the data will not be available for viewing.
Monthly Archival of GST Return Data Beyond Seven Years Started
GST return data which are older than seven years is being archived monthly starting from August 1, 2024.
For Example
July 2017 data was archived on August 1, 2024, and August 2017 data on September 1, 2024. This process will continue each month.
You can see in your portal that return data has already been achieved.
It means portal issued advisory after removing two months data from the portal.
