THREAD on GST portal issues

Inspired from @ca_shridhar post
I Have added few points & made this list

Its not about Portal glitches or Its Getting down/slow its capacity issue or anything abt Law. We made list here list how GST Portal inefficient to give full fledged experience
1. Negative figure in GSTR 3B-
Law is clear but Portal is still not ready for same. Negative Figure in 3B is necessary . Definitely not provided because technical team is not ready.
2. Headache of Jumping to screens while searching in B2B -
While searching particular Invoice in B2B in GSTR 1 Screen , U can Always view only 5 invoice in one screen in B2B in GSTR 1
Imagine u hv 450 invoice of diff GSTIN then there will be 90 times jumping
3. Incapable to provide viewing if 500 or more invoice-
For more than 500 invoices you can’t even see invoice on portal. Needless to say, In this case, you can’t share screen shot to vendors that you uploaded his invoices for proof. @sktajsant .
4. Limited Login time -
Why limited login time ? IT portal used to give 45 mins in one login. But GST Portal is too limited . Sometimes while New registration Application or refund application , It takes hours Frequent log out will waste hours @ca_shridhar
5. Editing Figure -
On GST portal, even editing a number is not simple. First backspace has no impact on changing figure. You have to re-write whole figure again. Can It be as simple as excel. @ca_shridhar
6. COPY PASTE -
Copy paste facility is must. We do not create content on your portal most of the times. @ca_shridhar
7. CREDIT LEDGER / CASH LEDGER-
You can view on 6 months. Now for a Particular Financial year , You have jump 3 times to view full Credit ledger / cash ledger. Why cant give Full fledged experience? Isnt it irritating ?
8. My applications menu -
Same, You can see only 3 months DRC -3 OR REFUND applications So again Jumping Jumping... At-least year wise Index will help to find things easily
Problem is
how Infosys engineers is far in their understating of tax portal ? How they fail at understanding how tax professionals work.?How unable to provide Ease , & simplistic experience. ?Not able to provide Wholesome experience even after 4-5 years

please add more points

Thread on Machine Vs Humans Vs GST
1

The fact that Law conceptualized after developing IT modules on GST Portal is the irony and big failure point

This shows How human touch is missing in GST

Depending tooo much on tech and machine driven systems is in-human

Read below
2. Taxpayer is Allowed ITC only if reflected in 2B

GST return filling system should understand that the counter party is also human.. He is not machine

It may not be possible for him Everytime that he may file his GSTR1 before 11th/13th every month
3. A human is prone to mistake, Forgetful nature, full of problems & hurdles & unavoidable events

Like there might be health emergency at his home, Marraige function at home, or his accountant is unavailable or same with his consultant

All these unavoidable

Thread on QRMP
#QRMP

70% of ppl, i asked before Feb,
They converted all Taxpayers in Monthly

After filling January returns & looking to PMT6 & IFF difficulties, & half baked solution QRMP
Even rest 30% saying that they will convert ALL clients to" Monthly" from APR 21
QRMP - Idea is good

But Things getting very difficult in practical life
Better to switch " Monthly "

Read below how it is irritating cycle of 3 months
Parties are sending 3B+ 1

We have to file PMT 6 + IFF

This half baked Idea of IFF is very frustrating. It does not allow B2C and export and Exempted details

So We have to remember all this for 2 months and report in QUATERLY GSTR 1

practically more confusing & time consuming

Thread on QRMP

1. 3B was very smooth. PMT 6 is challan but u stil hv to compute the way u did 3B.They shud have continued with 3B for all
PMT6 is useless

Only thing required was IFF 4 quarterly dealers so that they can upload their b2b invoices &counter party can claim ITC
2 what Govt think -
QRMP is wrongly promoted as LESSER compliance to MSME
Rather it is more

MONTHLY Parties -
monthly GSTR1
monthly GSTR3b

QUATERLY parties-

Quarterly GSTR1
With Monthly IFF (optional)

Quarterly GSTR3b
With Monthly Challan

Hardly name changed.
Hats off
3 what actually happened to Quarterly dealers

पहले
GSTR 3B monthly था
GSTR 1 Quaterly था
अब
GSTR 1 monthly हो गया
GSTR 3B Quaterly हो गया

Disclaimer-PMT 6 is nothing but same challan
Use only if Tax payable in M1 M2 of Quarter
If no tax payable then Nothing to do
