Issues related to filing GST/ITR quarterly/yearly returns

This is regarding difficulties facing by the DDOs in connection with filing of GST/ITR quarterly/Yearly returns and due lack of training and knowledge officials are getting notices for payment of lakhs of rupees penalty for delay in filing returns. In this connection my federation suggests the following to avoid such unwarranted penalties.

Appointment of centralized CA to bill ITR & GST returns because DDO or Accountant are not expertise in such task. Such work should be entrusted to DAP/PAP to bill the returns of all DDO as BIN generation work is being done by there only and the officials of PAP are qualified in accounting work.

Engagement of AAO in DDO for compilation of data related in SAP with e-lekha on daily basis because e-lekha commands and generation of CGA report relates PAP.

After GL integration in SAP some data relating in DTR but such transactions are not carried out by respective office which resulted to officials are facing great difficulties for compilation of account. In spite of this DAP is asking cash account DTR based duly verified figures but concern branches are unable to reconcile the figures of DTR and its office record. There are no provision in SAP to prepare HO Summary, SO summary, Cash Book, Cash Account at HO level.

Hence my federation requests the authority kindly take immediate action to deploy AAO/Sr Accountant to each Head Post office (DDO) so that e-lekha figures may be reconciled on daily basis at HO level to remove the anomaly. It will be also useful to avoid DAOA/OTDAOA/ICR/AIR audit objections also.
