NEW DELHI: The government has asked Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani to make a presentation before the GST Council next week as the IT major has repeatedly failed to fix glitches in the GST Network (GSTN), the technology backbone for the indirect tax.Recently, the government was forced to stagger the deadline for filing returns as Infy executives were unable to address the concerns. These range from a slowdown in the platform to login errors or auto logouts, as well as a delay in getting one-time passwords, among several other complaints submitted by users.In fact, postponing the deadline for some of the returns was seen as a major embarrassment for the government as it wants the entire tech platform’s system to be glitch-free.This was despite summons to senior company executives by revenue secretary A B P Pandey, prompting the finance ministry to directly take up the issue with Nilekani over a month ago. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has held several rounds of discussion on the issue. She had brainstormed with officials last week too, where she discussed the GSTN issue in detail, including Infosys’s role.The GST Council, headed by Sitharaman, is scheduled to meet on Saturday.Officials admitted that the IT platform has not stabilised even two and a half years after GST was rolled out. Even earlier, a ministerial panel had ticked off Infosys as it believed that the IT major had not deputed senior executives across states to tackle glitches that had emerged, prompting the Bengaluru-based company to deploy better quality manpower.Indian IT companies, which are known to cite large government contracts to bag global orders, are often accused of poor service quality. Repeated problems with the platform, which taxpayers claimed often delay filings beyond the deadline and lead to penalties, have also landed in court, with the Supreme Court recently asking the government to resolve technical difficulties.
