The government said GST collection for the first quarter of the year was 41% less than the revenue collected during the same quarter last year, but a large number of taxpayers still have time to file their return for the month of May, 2020 till early this month.
“Since government has allowed a relaxed time schedule for filing of GST returns, returns of the month of April, March as well as some returns of February got filed during June, 2020 and some returns of May, 2020, which would have otherwise got filed in June, will get filed during first few days of July,” the department said.
