The GST website for filing returns is facing “issues” and services to the website has not been restored, throwing into disarray the return filing processes for some business. However, the site is still not up.“It is experiencing problems and keeping the tax payers anxious over the weekend before the first deadline is drawing to a close tomorrow. It will be prudent to extend the timeline for 3B from 20 Aug to 31 Aug for all taxpayers in the interest of a truly smooth rollout sans anxiety. Many of our clients have called up saying they can't file returns. If this continues the government might need to extend the last date of filing by another couple of days at least.”
