*अगर GSTR 3B नही रिटर्न 20 दिन लेट भरी तो होगी बड़ी परेशानी*



जी हाँ दोस्तो सरकार ने नया *सर्कुलर नंबर 129* जारी कर दिया है,जिसमे क्लियर लिख दिया है कि हम सभी को 👉17 तारीख को एक मैसेज द्वारा सूचना देंगे कि
👉 20 तारीख पास आ गयी है रिटर्न भर दो, अगर 20 को रिटर्न नही भरा तो 
👉21 को मैसेज आ जायेगा कि रिटर्न नही भरा है,
👉अगर 25 तक फिर भी रिटर्न नही भरा तो सरकार सरकार 3-A का नोटिस जारी करेगी कि 15 दिन के अंदर रिटर्न भर दो,
👉अगर आगे 15 दिनों के अंदर भी रिटर्न नहीं भरी तो सरकार आपका उस माह का सेल्फ़ अससेमेंट करकर अपनी मर्जी से टैक्स डिक्लेयर कर देगी,जो कि आपको किसी भी हालत में भरना पड़ेगा!नही तो आपका बैंक एकाउंट सीज कर देंगी, आपके दुकान/फैक्ट्री के माल को जब्त करेगी एवम आपका GST नंबर कैंसल कर देंगी!

*यह सभी ईमेल एवम मैसेज आटोमेटिक सिस्टम जनरेटेड होंगे!*

अब आप यह नही बोल सकते कि हम रिटर्न लेट भरेंगे, लेट फी दे तो रहे है!

📣 आपको हर हाल में समय पर अकाउंटिंग करनी होगी 
📣 सिर्फ उन्हीं सप्लायर से माल खरीदे जो समय पर GST के सभी रिटर्न भरता हो, वर्ना आपको उस व्यक्ति से खरीदे गए माल पर इनपुट टैक्स क्रेडिट नहीं मिलेगा, इस सूरत में आपको बिक्री पर सारा टैक्स कैश में भरना होगा।
📣 10 जनवरी 2020 से पहले आपने सारे GSTR 1 फाइल करदे, वर्ना उसके बाद हर दिन। का 200 रुपए जुर्माना लगेगा।
📣 *GST के सभी कायदों का सख्ती से पालन करें, वर्ना भारी भरकम जुर्माना भरने के लिए तैयार रहे 
📣 *जुलाई 2017 से अभी तक सरकार 7500 करोड़ से ज्यादा का जुर्माना लेट रिटर्न भरने वालों से वसूल चुकी हैं, इसमें और जादा योगदान देकर खुदका नुकसान ना करे, उस से अच्छा एक अच्छे कर सलाहकार को फीस देकर सारा काम रेगुलर करवा ले, और देश हित में GST के सभी नियमों का पालन करे*

 Attention is invited to notification No. 47/2019-Central Tax dated 9th October, 2019 
(hereinafter referred to as “the said notification”) issued under section 148 of the Central Goods 
and Services Tax Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”) providing for special 
procedure for those registered persons whose aggregate turnover in a financial year does not 
exceed two crore rupees and who have not furnished the annual return under sub-section (1) of 
section 44 of the said Act read with sub-rule (1) of rule 80 of the Central Goods and Services Tax 
Rules, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as “the CGST Rules”). 
2. Vide the said notification it is provided that the annual return shall be deemed to be 
furnished on the due date if it has not been furnished before the due date for the financial year 
2017-18 and 2018-19, in respect of those registered persons. In order to clarify the issue and to 
ensure uniformity in the implementation of the provisions of the law across field formations, the 
Board, in exercise of its powers conferred by section 168 (1) of the said Act, hereby clarifies the 
issues raised as below:– 
a. As per proviso to sub-rule (1) of rule 80 of the CGST Rules, a person paying tax under 
section 10 is required to furnish the annual return in FORM GSTR-9A. Since the said 
notification has made it optional to furnish the annual return for FY 2017-18 and 2018-19 
for those registered persons whose aggregate turnover in a financial year does not exceed 
two crore rupees, it is clarified that the tax payers under composition scheme, may, at their 
own option file FORM GSTR-9A for the said financial years before the due date. After 
the due date of furnishing the annual return for the year 2017-18 and 2018-19, the common

notification has made it optional to furnish the annual return for FY 2017-18 and 2018-19 
for those registered persons whose aggregate turnover in a financial year does not exceed 
two crore rupees. Accordingly, it is clarified that the tax payers, may, at their own option 
file FORM GSTR-9 for the said financial years before the due date. After the due date of 
furnishing the annual return for the year 2017-18 and 2018-19, the common portal shall 
not permit furnishing of FORM GSTR-9 for the said period. 
3. Section 73 of the said Act provides for voluntary payment of tax dues by the taxpayers at 
any point in time. Therefore, irrespective of the time and quantum of tax which has not been paid 
or short paid, the taxpayer has the liberty to self-ascertain such tax amount and pay it through 
FORM GST DRC-03. Accordingly, it is clarified that if any registered tax payer, during course 
of reconciliation of his accounts, notices any short payment of tax or ineligible availment of input 
tax credit, he may pay the same through FORM GST DRC-03. 
4. Difficulty if any, in the implementation of this circular may be brought to the notice of the 
Board. Hindi version would follow.

*Any business entity/person having business turnover/gross receipts exceeding INR 50 Crore in FY 2018-19, please note the following changes brought in to effect from 1st Nov:*

* वित्त वर्ष 2018-19 में INR 50 करोड़ से अधिक का कारोबार करने वाले किसी भी व्यवसायिक संस्था / व्यक्ति के पास कुल सकल रसीदें हैं, कृपया 1 नवंबर से लागू होने वाले निम्नलिखित बदलावों पर ध्यान दें: *

1 नवंबर 2019 से लागू आयकर अधिनियम, 1961 की धारा 269SU, निर्धारित इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मोड में, मौजूदा मोड के अलावा, पेमेंट स्वीकार करने के लिए अनिवार्य है (अर्थात भुगतान स्वीकार करने के लिए ग्राहकों को सुविधा प्रदान करना) अनिवार्य है। INR 50 करोड़ से अधिक का कारोबार।

ऐसी सुविधा प्रदान करने में विफलता के लिए हर दिन पांच हजार रुपये का जुर्माना देना होगा, जिसके दौरान ऐसी विफलता जारी है।

*इसका क्या मतलब है?*

कृपया सुनिश्चित करें कि आप अपने चालान / अनुबंध / समझौतों / समझौतों / आदेश स्वीकृति पत्र आदि पर अपने ई मोड भुगतान विवरण प्रस्तुत करके इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मोड में ग्राहकों / देनदार / भुगतानकर्ताओं से भुगतान स्वीकार करने के लिए अपनी प्राथमिकता प्रिंट करते हैं।

* मौजूदा इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मोड के अलावा इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मोड क्या है? *

शुरुआत में, यदि आप कड़ाई से एनईएफटी, आरटीजीएस, आईएमपीएस द्वारा अपने बैंक खातों में आपको भुगतान के लिए भुगतान को प्रोत्साहित करते हैं, जैसा कि ऊपर उल्लेख किया गया है, यह उचित अनुपालन है। इसके अलावा, ई मोड्स जैसे BHIM UPI, UPI-QR कोड, आधार पे, बैंकों के भुगतान गेटवे / वित्तीय संस्थानों / भुगतान निपटान प्रणाली आदि की व्यवस्था करने का प्रयास करें।

* NEFT / RTGS / IMPS भुगतान की व्यवस्था करने के बावजूद, यदि ग्राहक आता है और चेक / डिमांड ड्राफ्ट सौंपता है, तो क्या किया जाना चाहिए? *

a) कृपया आपको भुगतान करने के लिए E मोड का उपयोग करने के लिए उन्हें सलाह दें

ख) यदि वे केवल चेक / डीडी भुगतान के लिए जोर देते हैं, तो कृपया उनके द्वारा उनके / उनके वाणिज्यिक पत्र प्रमुख पर विधिवत हस्ताक्षरित एक घोषणा प्राप्त करें यदि कोई हो (उनके आधार नं और वैध मोबाइल फोन का उल्लेख न करें):

I / हमारे पास भुगतान के समय / हमेशा के लिए नेट बैंकिंग सुविधा या कोई अन्य ई मोड नहीं है / हमेशा

I / हमारे पास E मोड के अलावा किसी अन्य मोड से भुगतान करने के अलावा कोई विकल्प नहीं है, हालांकि आपने केवल E मोड द्वारा भुगतान के लिए जोर दिया है

* हर संभव प्रयास और व्यवस्था करने के बावजूद, यदि ई-मोड के अलावा कुछ भुगतान प्राप्त होते हैं, तो क्या 5000 रुपये प्रतिदिन का जुर्माना, स्वचालित रूप से लागू होगा? *

यह एक अंधाधुंध और यांत्रिक रूप से लगाया गया दंड नहीं है। आप आवश्यक साक्ष्यों के साथ अपनी प्रतिभा को साबित कर सकते हैं और इस तरह के दंड से बच सकते हैं।

Deemed Exports : Concept and Refund Procedure under GST

डीम्ड एक्सपोर्ट्स की अवधारणा क्या है?


What is the concept of Deemed Exports?

To boost export sector and to reduce financial burden on exporters, government has notified some supplies as Deemed Exports. These supplies are made by any GST registered person to some specified (notified) entities who fulfill criteria in this regard.
After successful supply, these suppliers are allowed to claim refund of Tax paid on such supplies. This is the main thrust of concept of Deemed Exports.
Deemed supplies are different from Regular Exports (i.e. ZERO Rated Supplies). Deemed exports are not allowed to supply under Bond or LUT. 
Hence, all supplies notified as supply for deemed export are subject to levy of taxes in first instance, i.e. such supplies can be made on payment of tax only at normal rate of GST as for others.
And, then, one of them, (recipient or supplier, on mutual understanding), can claim a refund under Section 54 of CGST Act 2017 in respect of taxes paid on such supplies.

Notified Supplies as Deemed Exports

Till date, following supplies are notified as Deemed Exports (i.e. any supply of goods to these persons are considered as Deemed Exports):-

Provided further that no such certificate shall be required if input tax credit has not been availed on inputs used in manufacture of export goods.}
