A government official said that after several taxpayers raised the issue, the decision has been taken to extend the deadline by one day. The problem with the portal was a genuine concern which has also been acknowledged by the Goods and Services Tax Network. Earlier, IT company Infosys, which made the portal, had said on Thursday that the technical team is working to resolve the issue.
Tax experts said the technical problem in the portal came suddenly. However, some people say that the government has given information about the extension of one day on Friday afternoon.
