President Advocate Ashok Bansal in his address said that since the enactment of GST Act, the living conditions of tax lawyers and traders has turned worse. The GST law continues to change frequently and new notifications continue to be issued by the authorities. Many tax associations had earlier come together and submitted a memorandum to the Finance Minister in this regard, but it had no effect on the concerned authorities. So now it is being protested by tax lawyers at all India level.

Among other demands, they said “due to Covid-19 and other arrangements, GSTR-3B & 1 is yet to be filed in abundance. They should be given an opportunity to file. The provision of late fees should be limited to GSTR-3B only and its maximum fee should be kept at thousand rupees. Late fees levied on GSTR-1 should be abolished. The maximum late fee should be kept at GST-9 thousand rupees. The benefit of missed ITC should be given till the filing of GST-9.”
