CBIC notifies 30.06.2026 as the date for filing appeal before the GST Appellate Tribunal
The Ministry of Finance has issued a notification setting new deadlines for filing appeals with the GST Appellate Tribunal. The government, on the recommendation of the GST Council, has set June 30, 2026, as the final date for submitting appeals for all cases where the order being contested was communicated to the appellant before April 1, 2026. This measure effectively provides a uniform deadline for all past and pending appeals up to that point. For orders communicated to the appellant on or after April 1, 2026, the standard three-month period for filing an appeal, as prescribed under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, will apply. This notification aims to streamline the process for appellate proceedings and provide clarity on the timeline for taxpayers and legal professionals.
