Press Release, Dated 30-06-2026
The Government has extended the due date for filing appeals before the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) in certain cases. The earlier due date of 30-06-2026 has now been extended to 31-07-2026.
The extension has been granted in view of technical difficulties reported by taxpayers due to heavy traffic and rush in filing appeals on the GSTAT portal.
1. Extension Under Section 112
The extension applies to appeals required to be filed before the GSTAT under Section 112(1) read with Section 112(3) of the GST law.
Taxpayers covered under these provisions may now file their appeals within the extended timeline.
2. Revised Due Date
The due date for filing eligible appeals before the GSTAT has been extended as follows:
- Earlier due date: 30-06-2026
- Revised due date: 31-07-2026
3. Reason for Extension
The extension has been provided due to technical difficulties faced by taxpayers on the GSTAT portal.
The rush in filing appeals close to the original deadline had reportedly caused issues in completing the filing process.
4. Relief to Taxpayers
The extended timeline provides additional time for eligible taxpayers to file their appeals before the GSTAT.
This will help taxpayers complete the appeal filing process without being adversely affected by portal-related technical difficulties.
5. Key Takeaway
The Government has extended the due date for filing certain appeals before the GSTAT from 30-06-2026 to 31-07-2026. Taxpayers eligible to file appeals under Section 112(1) read with Section 112(3) may now submit their appeals up to the revised deadline.
