However, some taxpayers faced an issue that they are unable to report TDS deducted in the month October 2024 as they are not able to file return for the month of October 2024. This issue has occurred because while the taxpayers applied for GST registration in October 2024 pursuant to the above notification, their GST registrations were approved only in November 2024. Hence, in the return dropdown the month October 2024 is not visible to such taxpayers. This is as per the existing GSTN system design where returns for tax period prior to registration month is not enabled for taxpayers.
However, to resolve the issue, taxpayers who were granted registration in November 2024, but deducted TDS in October 2024, are hereby advised to report the consolidated amount of TDS deducted for the period from 10.10.2024 to 30.11.2024 in the GSTR-7 return to be filed for the month November 2024.
