Government Extends GSTAT Appeal Filing Deadline to July 31, 2026PreviousNext

The government has extended the deadline for filing appeals before the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) by one month to July 31, 2026, citing technical difficulties on the GSTAT portal amid a surge of nearly 30,000 appeals in 15 days. The extension applies to appeals under Section 112 of the GST law.
