GST Returns Older Than 3 Years to Be Barred from Filing on Portal from Sept 2025 Tax period

The GSTN portal is set to implement a new restriction, barring the filing of GST returns that are older than three years from the due date. This change will be effective from the September 2025 tax period. The move is aimed at enhancing compliance discipline and preventing the accumulation of old, unfiled returns, thereby improving the efficiency of the tax administration system. This is a crucial reminder to all taxpayers that they must be diligent in their dealings and adhere to deadlines. The new rule is a significant step towards a more user-friendly and less intrusive tax environment.
