2021 (2) TMI 770 - HC - GSTErrors in the common portal of the GSTN which is preventing them to file the statement in compliance of Section 52 (3) of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 [CGST Act] read with Rule 67 of the Central Goods and Service Tax Rules, 2017 - HELD THAT:- The statement of Mr. Amit Bansal is taken on record and further it is directed that the Petitioner to approach Ms. Shrishty Saxena, the concerned Officer, with GSTN on 17th February, 2021 at 11:00 AM for the purpose of filing and uploading the statement in compliance of Section 52 (3) of the CGST Act. Ms. Shrishty Saxena will assist the Petitioner in filing and uploading the statement on the online portal. In the event, for any technical reason, the statement is not uploaded on the portal, she would accept the statement manually and forward it to the concerned Commissionerate for processing the same. Mr. Narsimhan has also pointed out that, on account of the error on the portal and delay/ non-filing of the statements within the period stipulated, there is a possibility that the Petitioners are burdened with levy of penalty and interest under the provisions of the CGST Act. On this aspect, we can only observe that, if and when the penalty or interest are levied on account of delay in filing the statement, that is eventually filed electronically or manually on 17th February, 2021, as the case may be, the Petitioner would be at liberty to approach the concerned Commissionerate with a representation explaining the reasons for the delay that prevented them to file the statement within the statutory timelines. The representations as and when filed, shall be considered, and disposed of in accordance with law, having regard to the circumstances noted in this order - Petition disposed off.
