Finance Ministry Seeks Public Feedback on Amended GST Return Forms from November 1
The Finance Ministry will invite public comments from November 1 to 30 on proposed changes to monthly GST return forms, with the amended forms set to apply from April 1, 2027. These changes, approved at the 57th GST Council meeting, aim to reduce mismatches and notices by improving reconciliation between GST forms. The ministry also plans to streamline the GST audit process to minimize taxpayer harassment, especially for businesses operating across multiple states. Notifications on these decisions will be publicly available soon.
