GSTAT Portal Glitches Prompt Calls to Extend Appeal Filing Deadline

  • Tax professionals and industry bodies are asking the Finance Ministry to extend the June 30 deadline for filing legacy appeals before GSTAT بسبب persistent portal glitches.
  • They say the tribunal’s long non-operational period has created a huge backlog of about 4–4.5 lakh appeals, but only around 36,929 have been filed so far.
  • Reported filing problems include server timeouts, login/authentication issues, DSC failures, payment reconciliation delays, and weak integration between GSTN and the GSTAT portal.
  • The appeal process is also slowed by the need to compile years of records and documents, making timely filing difficult for taxpayers.
  • Experts argue a one-time extension would be fair, revenue-neutral, and help ensure cases are decided on merits rather than technical barriers.
