The extension decision follows widespread complaints from taxpayers and professionals about GST portal malfunctions that hindered the generation and filing of returns.
Acknowledging these concerns, the GST Network confirmed the issues in a series of social media posts, assuring taxpayers that corrective measures were underway. It also announced that the portal is now functional.
This move aims to provide much-needed relief to taxpayers, particularly small business owners and quarterly filers, who faced significant challenges in meeting the original deadlines.
The CBIC’s proactive step is expected to ensure smoother compliance while addressing the systemic inefficiencies that caused disruptions.
