GST Council meet: States raise GSTN issues, difficulty in filing returns

Suggest setting up of GoM to identify and help address the issues within 2-3 months

At the ongoing goods and services tax (GST) Council meeting in Hyderabad on Saturday, states strongly raised the issue of difficulties faced by traders in registering and filing GST returns.

Jammu & Kashmir Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu recommended the setting up of a small group of ministers to examine in detail the issues with respect to the GST Network and work out a way forward in the next couple of months.

“There are issues with GSTN; there is no doubt about it. But these are transitional and some are operational. We will discuss it with the Council,” said Drabu.
