AHMEDABAD: Thanks to a technical glitch on the GSTwebsite, traders and chartered accountants found it difficult to file GST returns on Saturday.
The deadline for filing GST returns for September transactions is October 20. However, when returns were uploaded on the website, it erroneously issued penalties for late filing on Saturday —
"With Diwali nearing, most businesses are in a rush to file their GST returns well in advance," said Varis Isani, president, Gujarat Sales Tax Bar Association (GSTBA)."However, since Saturday.
when we tried to upload the GSTR-3(B) form, the website has been issuing penalties for late filing. Unless the penalty is paid, returns cannot be uploaded."
The penalty charge is random, ranging from Rs 400 to Rs 2,000, Isani said.
GSTBA has made a representation to revenue secretary Hasmukh Adhia about the glitch. GSTBA officials said that a penalty of Rs 4,800 is being generated for filing returns for transactions made in August, for which exemption had already been announced.
