The Government on Monday said the date of filing GSTR 1 has been extended to September 10 against the earlier deadline of tomorrow.
Subsequently, filling of GSTR 2 and GSTR 3 has been extended to September 25 and 30 respectively.
The filing of GSTR 1 for August has been extended to October 5, GSTR 2 till October 10 and GSTR 3 till October 15.
By late afternoon, the GSTN portal had crashed under heavy load and users got an error message asking them to try again later.
Several companies that ET.com spoke said they had started the filing process quite early, but the system is very complex and it takes long to upload even one invoice.
Form GSTR-1 is a statement in which a regular dealer needs to capture all the outward supplies made during the month. Broadly, all the outward supplies made to registered businesses (B2B) are required to be captured at invoice level, and supplies made to unregistered business or end consumers are required to be captured at rate-wise. This would often mean several thousand invoices would need to be uploaded by a midsized firm and therein lies the challenge.
GSTR-1 format contains 13 tables in which the outward supplies details needs to be captured. However, the companies ET.com spoke to there are additional details the site asks for and this is proving to be another time consuming area.
The government last month has extended the filing of GSTR-3B to August 28th after the GSTN site crashed under heavy load.
