Government officials claimed the latest data was similar to that in the previous two months. But there are signs of worry and tax experts are nudging the authorities to figure out why such large number of assesses are not filing returns.
Just 3.94 million of the total 8 million assessees filed their GSTR 3B returns till Friday, sources said.
On Friday, GSTN chairman Ajay Bhushan Pandey had said that during the first two months, businesses also uploaded returns after the end of due date and that the number for September retuns would go up eventually.
“If we look at the network, GSTN is using only 30 per cent of the capacity. So there is a lot of headroom available for the server to upload more number of returns,” Pandey had said.
Half the assessees fail to file GST returns for September By the deadline of September 20, only 2.97 million summary returns were filed for the month of August, while 1.8 million returns were submitted for the month of July by the first deadline of August 20 (which was later extended).
However, filers submitted returns after the deadline by paying late fee and penalty for taxes.
For July and August, 5.57 million and 5 million returns had been filed, fetching Rs 95,000 crore and Rs 92,000 crore as taxes, respectively.
GSTR 3B is summary returns of sale and input purchases filed by assessees to pay taxes by the deadline of 20th of the following month. Since the roll-out of the GST on July 1, this is the third month for which businesses have had to file GSTR-3B returns.
These returns would be available only till December filing. After that, detailed supply returns have to be filed till 10th of the following month on the basis of which auto populated returns will be generated for inputs. #casansaar (Source - Business Standard)
