GST was launched and termed as biggest tax reform after indepdendence. Being a new law and new platform of compliance, some teething troubles were expected initially.

However now nearly three years will be complete still the #GSTN portal is throwing glitches without any solution, it is not updated to cater to increasing number of taxpayers and runs on a very slow/ Zero speed during the peak days of compliance due dates because of which still after 2.5 years the compliance rate is less than 60 % on due dates and  less than 80 % overall.

The customer care team and self service portal are having standard replies to tweets as well as grievances which hampered the taxpayers and tax professional very dearly by wastage of time, energy and peace of mind.

This mayhem has costed the taxpayers very dearly and as per a RTI reply to me, the govt has collected nearly Rs 8000 Crores as LATE FEES towards GST 3 B filing. To update stakeholders about the problems created because of faulty and under capacity GSTN and non responsiveness of governemnt, starting this post which will be updated continuosly for the glitches on GSTN.

There are hundreds of tweets about the glitches and problems, fhe hashgtag #GSTNFAILED and #GSTR3B were top trends in India on 20th Janaury 2020, however only few tweets are reproduced below for the sake of information.  

Starting this thread for the benefit of GST stakeholders
