FAQ :

GST Pakhwada is a nationwide campaign launched by the CBIC from June 17 to June 30, 2025, to increase taxpayer awareness and provide compliance support, marking the 8th anniversary of GST.

The new procedural updates for GST return filing will be effective from July 2025.

No, from July 2025, the GSTR-3B will become non-editable once submitted. Corrections will need to be made in advance via the GSTR-1A form.

A new rule effective from July 2025 imposes a three-year cut-off for filing all GST returns, including GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, and GSTR-9. Returns filed beyond this period will not be accepted, even with penalties.

Helpdesks have been set up at all Central GST (CGST) Commissionerates across India to offer guidance, resolve doubts, and assist taxpayers with filing returns correctly.

The changes aim to boost accuracy, minimise mismatches, curb revenue leakages, and strengthen fiscal discipline within the GST system.
