Respected Sir,

Sub : Extension of time limit – for Furnishing of Form GSTR – 1 and 3B.

With reference to the above subject, we the members of the Gujarat Sales Tax Bar Association (GSTBA) would like to bring to your kind notice that, the last date of filing the Return GSTR -1 of October 2018 is 10th of November and filling of Form 3B and payment of tax is 20/11/2018. As your good self must be Aware that during this period Diwali is celebrated throughout the country and mostly all the offices and shops will remain close during this period starting from 05th November till 11th November 2018. We are putting the dates for your kind reference.

In India, during Diwali festival almost all offices and shops are closed, it is not possible for dealers and tax professionals to make compliance of filing tax returns and payment of tax during this period.

Therefore your good self is requested to kindly consider the difficulties faced by the dealers and the professionals and to extend the said date to 30th November 2018 for both GSTR-1 as well as 3B.

We are quite sure that you will consider our plea and will give the positive response.

Thanking You,
