The Indian government has introduced a new GST Amnesty Scheme, effective from November 1, 2024, offering much-needed relief for taxpayers with pending GST dues. This scheme will provide waivers on interest and penalties for certain tax periods between July 1, 2017, and March 31, 2020. Businesses that qualify can apply for this waiver via the GST portal. Here’s everything you need to know about the scheme, who is eligible, and how to apply.
What Is the GST Amnesty Scheme?
The GST Amnesty Scheme aims to offer relief to taxpayers who have outstanding GST demands from 2017-18 to 2019-20. It waives the interest and penalties associated with these dues, but businesses are still required to settle the principal amount of tax owed.
This initiative was first announced in Budget 2024, and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has now confirmed its official implementation.
