The Allahabad High Court has upheld the government's decision to extend GST return filing deadlines for the financial year 2017-18. The extension was initially made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A bench comprising justices SD Singh and Donadi Ramesh dismissed multiple petitions arguing against the extensions. The court ruled that the government had the legislative authority to extend these deadlines and acted within its powers.
The court noted that no excessive extensions of time were granted and confirmed that these actions were prompted by the extraordinary circumstances posed by the pandemic.
