BCAS Urges GST Council: Extend GSTR-9, GSTR-9C Due Dates for FY 2024-25

• BCAS requests GST Council to extend GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C filing deadlines for FY 2024-25 until March 31, 2026.
• Recent amendments (Notification No. 12/2024-CT, 13/2025-CT) significantly increased complexity and compliance burden.
• Challenges include intricate ITC reporting, new auto-population logic in GSTR-9, and difficult turnover/ITC reconciliation in GSTR-9C.
• Dependency on audited financial statements and wider compliance scope for multi-state registrations add to the workload.
• Extension is crucial for taxpayers and professionals to adapt to changes, ensure data accuracy, and update systems.

Why It Matters: BCAS seeks GSTR-9/9C extension due to increased complexity from recent GST amendments.
