[Update on Nov 2, 2017]

The government has once again extended the GSTR July due date in order to provide more time for taxpayers to file their returns. The dates for filing GSTR 2and GSTR 3 have been extended to November 30 and December 11, 2017, respectively for the month of July.

A notification in this regard is being issued shortly. This is to facilitate about 30.81 lakh taxpayers for filing GSTR-2 for the month of July 2017.

The last date for filing of final sales returns for July in GSTR-1 form was October 10. Also, the last date for uploading of purchase returns in GSTR-2 was October 31. For GSTR 2, it is now revised to November 30.

All taxpayers complained about various issues faced when it came to tackling GSTR-2. The extension of the deadline for GSTR 2 was inevitable as portal failed to reflect the credits accepted from GSTR 2A even till the last moment.

Here are the new due dates for filing returns for the month of July.

Returns New due date
GSTR 2  November 30.
GSTR 3  December 11
