The WBGST Act, 2017, refers to the West Bengal Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.

The extension applies to audits for the financial year 2021-22, covering the period from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022.

The deadline has been extended until August 22, 2025, or three months from the actual date of audit commencement, whichever is later.

The timeline has been extended because many auditees requested more time to produce the necessary books of accounts, leading to delays in audit completion.

Businesses undergoing audits for FY 2021-22 now have more time to submit documents and rectify any issues. Tax professionals and auditors should use this period for better coordination and timely record submission.
