The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) portal has been upgraded to handle up. "The GSTN Portal now successfully handles almost double the taxpayer traffic for return filing immediately after lockdown. It has been made possible as the GST infra has been upgraded to handle up to three lakh concurrent logged-in users at a time," according to an official statement by the ministry.

The GST portal had increased the capacity of the gateway from 1.5 lakhs to 3 lakhs users concurrently logged in June 2020. It was considered as a proactive measure to handle the expected sudeen increase in the indirect tax-related activities on the portal after unlock from the pandemic struck. And also the upgradation has enabled GSTN to handle and scale up to five lakhs concurrently logged-in taxpayers, if necessary.

"The GST eco-system is future-ready to offer a seamless experience to the taxpayers with its augmented capacity even beyond the current load limits. Taking the surge during the peak filing into consideration, GSTN also took on the performance and stress testing of GST System applications that helped identify and remove bottlenecks in the software," the official statement further added. The month of September 2020 reported a sudden increase in the filing of GSTR-3B, the monthly return filed by the normal taxpayers. "It is noteworthy to mention that the number of active taxpayer numbers has effectively doubled since the launch of GST at approximately 1.3 crore. This surge was due to the backlog in the filing of previous months' returns for which relaxations were provided to the taxpayers in view of the Covid-19 outbreak," as per the official statement.
