No Technical Glitch On Portal While Accepting Returns: GSTN Chief
Taxpayers were facing some delays in the filing of GST returns, but there were no issues in the functioning of the Goods and Services Tax Network, its chairman Navin Kumar told BloombergQuint.
“Tax collections in the last 24 hours (from 6 pm on Friday till Saturday evening) have been around Rs 16,000 crore,” he said, adding that there weren't any glitches in the functioning of the portal.
We wouldn't have collected so much in taxes if there were issues in the working of the platform.Navin Kumar, Chairman, GSTN
On Saturday evening, the Central Board of Excise and Customs extended the last date of filing GST returns for the month of July by five days to August 25.
Some taxpayers were facing difficulties in filing their GSTR-3B returns on Saturday and raised complaints on the official Twitter handle created by CBEC, @askGST_GoI, to address queries.
Kumar said the portal is already capable of taking the workload of returns to be filed, and taxpayers will not face any problems in the future. From September, taxpayers will need to file three returns -- GSTR 1, GSTR 2 and GSTR-3B.
The GSTN chief dismissed the idea that the delays faced today were a result of GST being implemented in a haste. If that were the case, he said, “we wouldn't have over 70 lakh registrations on the portal.”
