The GST Portal has reinstated the option to download deleted GST returns data for the financial year 2017-2018. This follows feedback from taxpayers who raised concerns about the previously scheduled deletion of certain data.
Key Points:
- Data Availability: Users can now access GST return data for the period from July 2017 to September 2018.
- Data Deletion Schedule: The portal had initially planned to delete this data in early October 2024. However, due to taxpayer feedback, this decision has been reversed, and the data is now available for download.
- How to Download: Navigate to the ‘Returns’ section on the GST portal and select GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2A, or GSTR-2B to download your data.
- Time Frame: This data will only be available for a limited period, so it’s crucial to download it as soon as possible.
Recommendations:
Taxpayers should download their GST return data as soon as possible, especially if they have notices or orders related to previously paid taxes. Be aware that some errors may occur while downloading as the portal stabilizes, so patience is recommended.
