This discussion clarifies the due dates for filing GST annual returns for the financial years 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20.

For exam purposes, it's advised to answer based on whether the question refers to the original act or any extended dates.

As per sec 44 of CGST act the Annual Return due date is on or before the thirty-first day of December following the end of such financial year...

As per extended due date for the FY 17-18 is 31st Jan-20 & FY 18-19 is 31st Mar-20...
FY 19-20 due date is not yet notified...
In exams if they ask question regarding fy2017-18 should I solve the problem on basis of the extended date i.e jan 31,2020 or the original due date i.e dec 31,2018
You will give the answer based on question...

If question asked as per CGST act 2017 then we will answer 31/12/2018...
Incase question asked as per extended/amended then we will answer 31/01/2020...
