GSTN Issues Advisory on Amnesty Application Filing u/s 128A

GSTN Advisory, Dated 11-06-2025

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has released an important advisory outlining a new alternative method for filing amnesty scheme applications under Section 128A of the CGST Act. This measure has been introduced to support taxpayers facing technical difficulties on the GST portal.

1. Reason for the Alternative Method

Certain taxpayers have been unable to submit their applications due to technical glitches or validation errors within the portal. Recognising this issue, GSTN has now allowed a manual entry of order details, bypassing the system validations that were previously hindering the application process.

2. Manual Submission Process

Taxpayers choosing this alternate route must follow the step-by-step procedure prescribed by GSTN for manual application submission. While the detailed process is expected to be available on the GST portal, it is essential that applicants:

• Accurately enter the order details manually
• Ensure submission as per the advisory guidelines
• Keep necessary documentation and records for verification, if required

3. Deadline for Application Submission

The last date to avail of this alternate filing mechanism is 30th June 2025. Taxpayers are strongly advised not to delay and complete the submission well before the deadline to avoid last-minute complications.

4. Support for Technical Issues

If any technical issues arise while using this facility, taxpayers can report their problems through the GST Self-Service Portal by visiting: https://selfservice.gstsystem.in

GSTN aims to resolve such queries promptly to ensure smooth compliance for all users availing the amnesty scheme.
