It has been 8 years since GST was implemented in the country! The government will tell what all has changed after the introduction of GST

The initiative comes at a time when the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has announced significant changes in the return filing process that will come into effect from the July 2025 tax period. After the implementation of the new changes, the monthly GST payment form GSTR-3B cannot be edited.
According to the CBIC, this means that businesses will no longer be able to manually change any details after filing. Instead, this form will now be auto-filled on the basis of sales data from other forms like GSTR-1 and corrections will have to be made in advance through Form GSTR-1A. The move is being taken to improve accuracy among GST returns and prevent revenue leakages, GSTN said. Additionally, a strict time limit is being introduced for filing returns. From July 2025, taxpayers will not be allowed to file any GST return more than three years after the due date. The rule will be applicable to all types of returns including GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9, GSTR-4 and others. This change was part of the Finance Act, 2023 and will now be implemented on the GST portal. Additionally, taxpayers have been advised by the CBIC to review their records and submit any pending returns before the new rules come into force to avoid being permanently locked out.
