Analysis
Notification 12/2024-CT amended Rule 62 to move the date to 30 June from FY 2024-25. The GSTR-4 FAQ also says the date can be changed by notification, so check before each year. Example: GSTR-4 for FY 2025-26 was due on 30 June 2026; filing in August 2026 means late fee. Practitioners note that the withdrawal-year date in Rule 62(5) may still read 30 April; check before relying on 30 June in that case.
Conclusion
- Note 30 June as the yearly due date.
- Check the portal and CBIC for any extension notification.
- If you left composition during the year, check the withdrawal-year date.
- File early in June to avoid portal rush.
