MEMORANDUM
To,
The Hon’ble Union Minister of Finance
Government of India
North Block, New Delhi – 110 001,New Delhi.
SUB: Extension of due date for filing GSTR-9/9A & GSTR-9C for F.Y. 2017-18
Respected Madam,
The Association of Tax Practitioners (ATP) is a body of Sales Tax Practitioners’ established in the year 1987. The members are Tax Practitioners and other tax professionals. The Association’s main object is to educate the public in general and the members in direct and Indirect Tax laws.
We have been informed by our members, that since 13th January 2020, GST website is slow down and not working properly in continuous days. Generations of OTP for filing of many returns are not frequent and many of Tax Payers have already suffered with the late fees even after wanted to finish their compliance timely. We have also come to know that at present, GST Network is taking two to three hours for reflecting GSTR-9C data uploaded by Tax professionals/ Registered dealers, and in some cases; it throw back with unknown error. And hence, our demand for extension is more reasonable as ever.
As you may be aware that due date for GSTR-9/9A and GSTR-9C for FY 2017-18 is on 31.01.2020; but due to system problem our members are unable to file / upload GSTR-9/9A and GSTR-9C. Hence, we request your good selves to kindly extend the due date of filling GSTR-9/9A and GSTR-9C for the FY 2017-18 up to 31.3.2020.
For Association of Tax Practitioners

Please sir i humbale request for you extended date for GSTR-9 2017-18
GSTR 9 2017-18 EXTENDED 31MARCH2020
Make it compulsory for the GST registered dealers to properly file the GSTR1 return for F Y 2017-2018. Open one last time the said facility by setting a dead line. But before setting the deadline please ensure and see to it that the web site works perfectly. And match all the data of GSTR1 GSTN wise with the output and input amount via well developed software. This will reduce the work for all and save lot of time and energy. Then depending on the outcome of the exercise decide the further action. There is no point in asking for extension of date now n then. set it at rest once for all. Say the entire process to be completed by 30.04.2020. Once the system is in place set the deadline for F Y 2018-2019. ~~ But in my view forget about the audits for F Y 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 by doing the above exercise. In the meantime simplify the compliance procedure from 01.04.2020 and setting the portal free from major glitches. By setting right one glitch the side affects are many. They should be well taken care. It should be robust. ~ Hope some one will look into the matter positively in interest of one n all. Thanking you in advance.
