Overview

  • The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs announced the extension through Notification No. 17/2025 and an official post on X.
  • Coverage includes monthly returns for September 2025 and quarterly returns for July–September under the QRMP scheme.
  • The original October 20 due date coincided with Diwali and a Sunday, reducing the effective time available to complete filings.
  • Late filing after October 25 draws the standard fee of ₹50 per day (₹20 for nil returns) capped at ₹5,000, plus 18% annual interest on outstanding tax.
  • Tax professionals sought the change, highlighting that GSTR-3B preparation requires reconciliation and ITC checks that were hampered by holiday closures.
