The last date to file provisional return GSTR 3B was extended from August 20 to August 25 after taxpayers faced difficulties in filing.So far, 39.7 million returns have been filed by the 5.95 million entities registered for the GST in July, excluding those under the composition scheme.

Based on this, 2025 per cent of those registered have not filed tax returns. Experts pointed out taxpayers were grappling with GSTR 3B, the selfdeclaration form, for the first two months.This did not give them enough time to upload invoices, they added.

The government on the recommendation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council on Friday waived the late fees for the GSTR 3B returns for July, filed after the due date.

The announcement comes amid concerns raised over difficulties faced by the industry in filing returns.
