What its mean by Electric Vehicle ? Did all vehicles are included in this criteria ? for e.g. Vehicles who has running on Diesel etc.
Govt should re-think on the need for separate Annual return, as all the data is available on portal on monthly basis, why additional return and extra audit formalities and more charges to be incurred for audit fees!!!
Late fees on all gstr3b gstr1should be waived for the small business man which is not able to pay late fees to file their pending return
