EXTENSION OF ANNUAL RETURN 9 & 9C for Y 2018 – 19 : With great difficulties, taxpayers have filed Yearly return 9 and 9C for Y 2017 -18. GSTN did not solve problems which taxpayers have faced while filing Y 2017-18 returns. While filing Y 2018 -19 returns, many of AUTO POPULATED fields not displayed. Multiple error relating to Offline utility and Server are being faced. Looking at these problems, we need to extend the dates. GSTIN should be guided to take cohesive action on this front and test the utility and server rigorously. Portal should be closed for maintenance and should be live only when all problems are solved. As such, last date of filing returns should be 30th June 2020, subject to proper working of portal.
