Clarification regarding voluntary E-filing of Returns by the dealers is issued by way of Circular which states –
* A large number of representations have been received from dealers who are not covered by the Notification for filing of e_Return. These dealers made a request and shown their willingness for filing e_Return even though it is not mandatory for them to file e-Return. It is the endeavor of the department to encourage the filing of e_return. Therefore, the request of these dealers is accepted and they were allowed to file e_Return.
* Earlier those dealers who voluntarily file the e_Return are still required to file the return in physical form also. Thisis causing hardship to those dealers who volunteer themselves for filing e_Returns. Considering the above fact, it is now administratively decided, that those dealers, who voluntarily file the e_Return, need not to file the return in physical form.
* It would be suffice for them to submit the duly authenticated acknowledgment, generated after uploading the e_Return. Needless to state that the concession given as per Trade Circular No. 16T of 2008 dated 23.4.2008 to upload the e_Return within 10 days after the due date of filing the return would continue till further orders.
