Unsettled questions
The words of Rule 62 do not answer this question. Where one decides a matter on the file, the answer depends on the position taken on it.
- How does the FY2024-25-onwards June proviso after Rule 62(1), together with amended GSTR-4 instructions, interact with the unchanged April wording of Rule 62(5) for a withdrawal-period GSTR-4? No answer is adopted; applicable period and notifications require professional confirmation.
