Form GSTR-3 for July will now have to be filed between September 11-15 and for August the date is September 26-30. The original date for filing GSTR-3, which is the monthly return on the basis of finalisation of details of outward supplies and inward supplies along with the payment of amount of tax, was 20th of the next month.
