The GST Network did not perform optimally on Tuesday, the last day of filing of GSTR-1 forms for business done in July.

Sources said about one third of the total returns are yet to filed, and businessmen will have to pay a penalty of Rs 4,200 for late filing. Tax practitioners and businessmen are angry for the penalty that they will have to bear for a fault in the system.


GSTR-1 form gives the details of the outward supplies of goods and services. The deadline for filing of GSTR-1 for July was October 10. Messages, that GST system is not functioning properly, started pouring in during the day. Sources estimate that nationally, close of 35 per cent of returns are yet to be filed. Now, filing will be done only after 21 days, and for each day, a penalty of Rs 200 (Rs 100 for CGST and Rs 100 for SGST) will be levied.

"The department knows clearly that the GST system is not working properly. When you are launching a new system, it should be user friendly. The manner of execution has made it harsh for businessmen to comply. We will represent at the topmost level to see that the penalty is withdrawn," said Shailesh Patwari, president of Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Tax practitioners complained that even after uploading GSTR-1, a lot of errors were encountered. It took around three hours to rectify them. Many errors cropped up again, delaying the filing of returns. "This is a mental harassment to businessmen and tax practitioners alike. The government should extend the deadline for filing of returns," said Vaaris Isani, president of Gujarat Sales Tax Bar Association.

As sizable returns are yet to be filed, the cross matching of returns of buyers and sellers will be difficult, blocking the tax credit due to the buyers

Companies Act :

It is true that there is no specific provision in the Act to put a hold on the winding up order after it has been passed, but at the same time, it is equally true that there is no prohibition for the same. It depends on the facts and circumstances of each case and so where the sale of some assets is enough to pay off all the secured and unsecured creditors and the company is still left with surplus assets, it can apply for staying the winding up permanently or for recall of the winding up order and revival of the company. *Government of Karnataka v. NGEF Ltd. (In Liquidation)  [2017] 140 CLA (Snr.) 119 (Kar.)*
