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

And no Extention of dates
Thread on TCS FOR FY 20-21 END AND TCS FOR FY 21-22 START- VERY IMPORTANT
tweet 1
>>>>Action required for TCS on Sale of Goods for Financial Year 2020-21

a. In case, you are liable to collect TCS after 01-10-2020 for sales of goods, then for march month ,ensure to pay TCS by 7th April 2021 for Q4. (not 30th april)
The due date for TCS return is 15-5-2021 ( not 31st may)
tweet 3
b. Also check your books of Accounts , From 1-10-2020, If you have not collected or short collected from the customer then You need to Reconcile with books and Pay the difference before 7th April 2021 and File TCS return before 15-5-2021.. Rate was 0.075% till March.
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
