The Punjab Government has extended the due date for submission of all statutory forms under CST Act (C,E-I, E-II, F forms etc) from 20th November 2010 to 31st March 2011 by an official notification dated 16th February 2011. It is here to be noted that normally the Excise and Taxation Department, Punjab normally asks for to give all statutory forms under CST Act along with the annual statement to be filed on 20th November every year under the PVAT Act 2005.
However C forms and other statutory forms can be submitted even after such date, at the time of assessment or even at appellate level as the law has been well laid down by Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High court in R.S cotton Mills case v State of Punjab and in many other cases.
The relevant notification is being produced herebelow for ready reference of readers:
