A new sub-rule (6) has been added to Rule 61 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017, allowing for staggered filing of Form GSTR-3B from October 2020 to March 2021.

All taxpayers filing Form GSTR-3B for tax periods from October 2020 to March 2021 are affected by these new staggered due dates.

For taxpayers with turnover over Rs. 5 Crore, the due date is the 20th of the following month. For those with turnover up to Rs. 5 Crore in specific western and southern states/UTs, it's the 22nd. For those with turnover up to Rs. 5 Crore in northern and eastern states/UTs, it's the 24th.

The due date is determined based on two factors: the taxpayer's aggregate turnover in the previous financial year and the state or Union Territory where their principal place of business is located.

Taxpayers with turnover up to Rs. 5 Crore in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and the UTs of Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Puducherry, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Lakshadweep have a due date of the 22nd.
