The GSTR 3B filing due date has finally been extended by 5 days. Since this is the first return and also the site has not been working since last night, this extension comes as a welcome move. Also, keeping in mind the flood affected neighbouring states, this was very much required. The official twitter handle of the Govt, GST@GOI, has published this press note. Wherein the due date for filing the returns for tax payers who do not wish to avail transitional credit has been extended to 25th August, 2017.  However, the due date for tax payers availing transitional credit, i.e. tax payers who are required to files TRAN 01 along with GSTR 3B, the due date for GSTR 3B will remain August 28.
