Sir,

          Sub: Inadequacies of  CGST backend  - Reg

          Please refer to this Associations letter dated 08.03.2019 bringing to your kind notice, some of the requirements in CGST backend that would enable the officers at field level to function effectively. We had among other issues pointed out the inadequacy in accessing GSTR2A, non availability of certain reports for a period greater than a month and the non availability of details of goods and services supplied by  a registrant in the reports .

2.       We would like to highlight some of the functionalities available in the Kerala SGST and are constrained to state that we are far inferior to them. You may recall the recent comparison of performance of CGST and SGST officers where in it was observed that the performance of SGST officers was much better. In this regard, we would like to unequivocally state that SGST being better equipped with man power and technology such a conclusion alone is to be expected.

3.       In the Annexure to this letter the reports available in respect of a single unit for an SGST official in enclosed.

                                                                             Yours faithfully

                                                                             ARUN ZACHARIAH.P
