Quick Summary

An extension is being requested because the current due date of 20th October 2025 falls within the Diwali festival period, leaving insufficient time for taxpayers and practitioners to complete the required reconciliation and payment processes.

The Bombay Chartered Accountant Society (BCAS) has requested the extension from the Finance Minister.

Taxpayers face challenges due to the proximity of the deadline to public holidays and the Diwali festival, coupled with the need to reconcile data with GSTR-2B (available after the 14th of the month), leaving a narrow window for compliance.

The main benefit is to promote the ease of doing business, allowing registered persons and tax practitioners to complete compliance after the festival period, ensuring accurate filing and adherence to the CGST Act without penalising taxpayers.

Most businesses cannot legitimately claim a Nil return for September as they usually have some taxable transactions, inward or outward supplies, or taxes to report.
