In response to the devastating floods that have struck Tamil Nadu, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes (CBIC) has taken a compassionate stance towards businesses grappling with the aftermath of the natural disaster. The CBIC has officially announced an extension of the deadline for filing Goods and Services Tax Return-9 (GSTR-9) and GSTR-9C for the financial year 2022-23.
The initial due date for these crucial forms was set for December 31, 2023. However, recognizing the severe impact of the floods on the business community in specific flood-affected districts of Tamil Nadu, the CBIC has granted an extension, allowing registered persons with their principal place of business in these areas more time to comply with the regulatory requirements.
