The government had extended the deadline from 20th April 2020 to 5th Mat 2020 because of the lockdown.

The Chamber of Trade Industry has asked the PM, in writing, to extend the GTS deadlines for some months. They argued that the provisions of GST require an assessee to file the returns by the 20th of the next month for but they will be unable to do so as no payments are being received against most of the issued invoices. The burden of EMI, interests, rent and wages are also creating problems for the assessees. They suggested that the government should at least shift the deadlines until the lockdown is over.

The Board of Trade of Indian Industry has suggested that if the tax liabilities are not postponed then it will be difficult for the industries to recover from the crisis as the working capital is low and savings are draining regularly.
