GST Network Chairman Ajay Bhushan Pandey on Tuesday hoped that the new leadership at Infosys will continue with the efforts to further strengthen the portal and make it convenient for businesses to file returns.
In the first four months of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), over 3 crore returns have been filed on the GST Network (GSTN) portal, with 80 lakh alone being filed in November.
Pandey said the return filing on the portal has been increasing by 5 lakh every month on an incremental basis and expressed hope that the new leadership at Infosys would carry the momentum forward.
The comments of the GSTN chief comes at a time when Salil Parekh has been named the next CEO of Infosys, ending three months of high-profile executive search at the IT services firm that has been bruised by an internal turmoil.
Asked if GSTN is satisfied with the handling of back-end software by Infosys, Pandey said: “The GSTN system is showing improvement and everybody who is working for this need to continue their efforts to make the system even more robust and comfortable for more people.”
