Advisory on filing of Amnesty applications under Section 128A

Notification/Circular No.: Advisory dated June 11,2025

Applicable Act/Rule: Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017

Applicable Section/Rule: Section 128A

Section 128A of the CGST Act allows for conditional waiver or reduction of late fees for non-filing of returns. To operationalize this, the SPL-01/02 forms were made available on the GST Portal. As per the latest update, over 3 lakh applications have been submitted as of June 8, 2025. However, many taxpayers have reported technical difficulties in filing their amnesty applications.

Taxpayers facing portal-related technical issues that restrict them from filing amnesty applications via SPL-01/02 can now use an alternate filing mechanism provided in the GST advisory.

A detailed step-by-step guide has been made available to assist such taxpayers in this link https://tutorial.gst.gov.in/downloads/news/link_data.pdf

Any further difficulties experienced while using this alternate route should be promptly reported through the GST Self-Service Portal. (https://selfservice.gstsystem.in)
