GSTN Issues Advisory on Mandatory Sequential Filing of GSTR-7 Returns

GSTN has issued an advisory mandating the sequential filing of GSTR-7 returns. GSTR-7, which pertains to the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) returns under GST, must be filed in a specific order by taxpayers, according to the advisory. The directive is aimed at improving the processing and reconciliation of GST TDS returns. The new advisory ensures that all entities deducting tax at source are compliant with GST return filing requirements. This order also facilitates better tracking and clearing of TDS data in the GST system.
