This is to apprise you of a recent advisory issued by GSTIN on 24 September 2024 regarding archival of GST returns data on GST portal. In this regard, below key points are worth noting:
- GST
Return Deadline: As per Section 39 (11) of the CGST Act, 2017,
effective from 01-10-2023, taxpayers are prohibited from filing GST
returns after three years from the due date of furnishing the said return.
- Data
Retention Policy: As per GST portal data policy, the GST portal
will retain taxpayer data for a maximum of seven years, after which it
will be archived and inaccessible for viewing.
- Monthly
Archival: Effective 1 August 2024, the GST return for July 2017 was
archived, followed by the archiving of August 2017 data on 1
September 2024. Data archival will occur monthly, with September
2017 data scheduled for removal from the GST portal on 1 October 2024, and
will continue in this manner thereafter.
Way forward
- Taxpayers should proactively
download the GST data from the portal for any future needs before it is
archived.
