@cbic_india Users can't file GSTR-3B, kindly extend due date for March 2026 GSTR 3B return. Why taxpayers suffer due to tech co's inability? @nsitharamanoffc @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia @PMOIndia

[Karnik Kothari @KothariKarnik]

Dear @Infosys_GSTN

GST Portal not working properly since morning. Users facing:

➡️ Login difficulty
➡️ Captcha not loading
➡️ Repeated logout
➡️ Issue saving GSTR-3B
➡️ Payment & file works only after 6-7 attempts

Pls resolve ASAP.

@Infosys_GSTN How can we file our gst returns before due date if cross utilisation in Igst liabilities not happened with either CGST or SGST

[Karnik Kothari @KothariKarnik]

GST portal has stopped the utilisation of CGST and SGST credit in any manner for IGST liability in the March 2026 3B month return.@Infosys_GSTN @GSTN_IT @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia

[Karnik Kothari @KothariKarnik]

@Infosys_GSTN Already 2 days have passed, and only 3 days remain until the filing due date. Any solution for the grievance raised? @Infosys_GSTN

Utterly shocking from GST Portal.Please read the full post!

Cross-utilisation functionality allowing SGST against IGST before full utilisation of CGST has been disabled from the current month. It was available for February only - No communication regarding the same!!

More shocking: the 30 Jan advisory on portal appears to have been SILENTLY MODIFIED. Earlier it had 4 points; now it shows only 3 points. The cross-utilisation point has vanished [Check Pics]
Link to Current (Silently modified) advisory on portal dated 30th Jan
https://t.co/4ZbzyzPSEG

I had already pointed out on day one that this was not as per law, because the proviso to Section 49(5)(c) still carried the restriction.

But the real issue is this:
Portal first said it would apply from Jan 3B, then from Feb 3B, and now the advisory is being quietly altered without any clarification on what happens to taxpayers who followed it in February.

This affects 1.4 crore taxpayers and lakhs of professionals.
Is there no accountability?
Can such huge backdated changes in advisory be made this casually?

Do they think deleting a point from the portal advisory will erase the earlier copies already floating across the internet and in our systems?

This mess needs responsibility, not silence.
A formal press release clarifying the full position must be issued immediately @Infosys_GSTN @cbic_india @FinMinIndia

Such actions reflect a mindset that -we helpless taxpayers and professionals has no option other than to follow whatever random directions issued 🙏

1st photo is the original advisory dated 30.01.2026 where cross utilisation is mentioned.

2nd photo is the same advisory but now they have changed it and removed the cross utilisation point from it. @Infosys_GSTN @GSTN_IT @PMOIndia @rambajajgst @R_N_Vaghani @abhishekrajaram

Your iPhone is dying by 2 PM every day.

It's not the battery.🔋

It's 14 settings Apple turned ON by default that are silently draining it in the background.

I changed all of them and gained 4+ hours of daily battery life.

Steal them 🧵

@Infosys_GSTN Already contacted your team; they replied it will arrive on or after 01.04.2026, not before. Posted here after their reply. If it arrives on 01.04.2026, how can the business do E-inv registration & make accounting software compatible?

A single buyer's TDS default is blocking sellers from claiming ALL OTHER VALID TDS CREDITS in the Cash Ledger. This systemic flaw is creating a severe #CashCrunch. Compliant taxpayers cannot be held responsible for third-party default. @GST_Council @GST_N, please prioritize this.
