73% taxpayers availed Sabka Vishwas, commit Rs 30627 Cr, date extended upto 15 Jan
New Delhi: Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme has received a huge response with almost 73% of the total eligible taxpayers availed the Scheme and have committed to pay tax dues of Rs. 30,627 Crores. Keeping in view the response of the taxpayers to the Scheme, the Central Government today extended it for a period of fifteen days, till 15th January, 2020. This is one-time and final extension in view of taxpayers’ response.
CBIC said today that out of the total 1.84 lakh taxpayers who are eligible to avail the Scheme, as many as 1,33,661 taxpayers have so far submitted their applications by the morning of 31.12.2019. Their applications involve tax dues of Rs. 69,550 Crores and after availing various reliefs, the payable amount is Rs. 30,627 Crores. Sabka Vishwas is received by the taxpayers as the most beneficial dispute resolution scheme ever announced by the Government.
CBIC said that there has been a spurt in the number of taxpayers opting for the Scheme during the last fortnight. The Government has noted the huge interest amongst the taxpayers for this Scheme and would like to ensure that eligible taxpayers who have yet not applied to avail amnesty or relief under this Scheme do not miss out due to the last-minute rush. Therefore, the Government has extended the SVLDRS as a one-time measure for a fortnight up to 15.01.2020. There will be no further extension to this Scheme, CBIC reiterated.
The SVLDRS was introduced in last Budget with the twin objectives of liquidating the legacy disputes in Central Excise and Service Tax that are pending at various fora as well as encouraging non-compliant tax payer/tax evaders to declare the tax not paid so far and come under the tax net voluntarily.
GST was launched and termed as biggest tax reform after indepdendence. Being a new law and new platform of compliance, some teething troubles were expected initially.

However now nearly three years will be complete still the #GSTN portal is throwing glitches without any solution, it is not updated to cater to increasing number of taxpayers and runs on a very slow/ Zero speed during the peak days of compliance due dates because of which still after 2.5 years the compliance rate is less than 60 % on due dates and  less than 80 % overall.

The customer care team and self service portal are having standard replies to tweets as well as grievances which hampered the taxpayers and tax professional very dearly by wastage of time, energy and peace of mind.

This mayhem has costed the taxpayers very dearly and as per a RTI reply to me, the govt has collected nearly Rs 8000 Crores as LATE FEES towards GST 3 B filing. To update stakeholders about the problems created because of faulty and under capacity GSTN and non responsiveness of governemnt, starting this post which will be updated continuosly for the glitches on GSTN.

There are hundreds of tweets about the glitches and problems, fhe hashgtag #GSTNFAILED and #GSTR3B were top trends in India on 20th Janaury 2020, however only few tweets are reproduced below for the sake of information.  
Analysis of Statewise filing of #GSTR3B based on November 2019 Data as per #GSTN website

No of taxpayers filed by due date = 68%
No of taxpayers filed after due date upto 31st December 2019 = 10 %
*NON FILERS = 22 %*
