The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has acknowledged via Twitter, “GST portal is currently experiencing technical issues and is under maintenance. We expect the portal to be operational by 12:00 noon. CBIC is being sent an incident report to consider extension in filing date.”

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has not yet issued any notification on this matter. 

However, several chartered accountants on social media have expressed concerns about difficulties in filing the GSTR-1 return. The filing deadline for the December 2024 tax period is January 11, 2025, while for QRMP filers, the deadline is January 13, 2025.
