Dear Smt Nirmala Ji,

All these compliances if not complied in time will result into interest late fee. In these tough times when all the state governments are taking strict precautionary measures (such as — Complete Curfew, Night Curfew, 72 hour complete Lockdown, containment zones, etc) in order to restrict the spread of Covid-19 in their states it will not be possible to comply with all these statutory compliances in time.

IWant to surrender my GSt Registration w.e.f. 31st March 2021 but file Form GST Regn on 7th May 2021, whether it is in time or not, if not what are the remedy.
Times are really tough. Last lockdown almost exhausted the capital invested in the business. Salaries, rents were to be paid albeit at reduced rate but without any returns for the business class. There is a huge capital requirement to keep the business running and by extending the dates and by waiving the penalties and interest govt will assist in keeping the business moving!!
Pls extended date for ALL GSTR RETURN march-21 due to covid-19
Pls extended date for GSTR-7 march-21 due to covid-19
lease extend the date of submission of Form 4 of VsVs (Vivad se Vishbas) which is 30th April 2021.
This government is not looking to the tax payers. Govt. should it’s own declare the extension of dates . Why government waiting for the taxpayers request. I hate this type of government treatment
abhi tak 3 b march 21 ka date kyo nahi extend hua
R/s P.M,& F.M
please extend all gst and income tax due dates on immediately base..in this covid pandemic why not extend due dates…many dealers& ca & consultants suffering in covid but your side till not grant any relief..why……….jaan hai to jaan hai….iske age aap dekho apne economy
How can we do business when their is a lockdown or Janata Curfew. Please understand this. On one hand our movement is restricted due to covid and on the other side government wants to follow the rules with in the stipulated time. Finance Minister should consider this and extend time for payment of GST and filing of GST Returns for the month of March 2021 , April 2021 and May 2021 so that the business conditions normalizes. I request the Finance Minister with folded hands to consider this plea. Thanks and Regards.
My respectful finance minister madam,
New GST Set off – from GST Implementation, we are marching in One Country – One Tax. If that so, the new set off rules puts lot of SMEs and exporters in a very tight Spot..On one had there is credit, on the other payable, credit is not being allowed to be set off. This also creates liquidity crunch albeit for 45 days – and also indirect cost of interest on the amount paid, though not payable.
Original Earlier system of set off was very simple, easy to understand and follow, there was no heart burn.. it just fitted to One country One Tax. Hope this lacuna will be removed.
Please understand the tough times of all humanity is undergoing and consider waiving off the penalty of GST and late filling of ITR, from the time covid lock down was declared by the government till it is resolved fully.
This is helpless govt.no mercy for citizens pay only taxes day by day and die outside hospitals.situation of country is very critical as no system rule people with baton and deserve nothing from this betas Babu’s officers all on same track.
Laxmi mata kyun naraj ho ki bhakton se iittna Late fee penalty leti ho.

Now the problem is save all daily wages labour working in micro and small scale industries you are the only hope for us thank you by katthi selvaraj
