“By improving the user interface and redesigning the process, filing of GSTR-3B has been made considerably convenient. We anticipate our taxpayers to experience limited scope for errors in filing returns, save time, and increase the speed and accuracy in return filing,” said the statement, quoting Kumar. According to Pratik Jain, partner and leader of indirect tax at PwC India, the changes are a welcome step towards making the tax filing process more user-friendly. GSTN and federal tax body GST Council have been working on simplifying the return filing process to increase tax compliance. The last date for filing initial GSTR-3B returns for a month is the 20th of the subsequent month.
