You are about to lose access to your old GST return data

Important: You are about to lose access to your old GST return data!

how to download old gst returns

Starting August 1, 2024, the GST portal has begun archiving GST return data that is more than seven years old. This is part of a regular monthly process, following the guidelines under Section 39 (11) of the CGST Act, 2017, effective from October 1, 2023, as per Notification No. 28/2023 – Central Tax dated July 31, 2023.

What this means for you:

  • GST returns older than seven years will no longer be viewable or accessible on the GST portal.

Act now! Data for September 2017 will be archived on October 1, 2024, and this process will continue monthly.

You will permanently lose access to this data if you don’t download and save it before it’s archived.

Urgent action required: We strongly advise you to log into the GST portal and download your older GST returns data immediately. Once archived, it will not be retrievable.

Don’t wait until it’s too late! 

#Please note GSTN has restored all data due to feedback from stakeholders
