3.0 Is it the fake news? Or do we expect the GSTR 1 extension to 20^th September?

Though the news which is circulating in the social media regarding the extension may not be confirmed by the government yet, however, people may expect the extension from the government as a lot of people are still not able to file the GSTR 1 and which is mainly on account of the GSTN website which is not running properly.

In the end, we would urge people to follow the 10^th September due date and not to expect the extension. However, if government extends the due date then it is most welcome. In case of any doubt, please email us at info@hubco.in
