PwC India Partner and Leader (Indirect Tax) Pratik Jain said issues were being faced on GST portal as regards acceptance of tax deducted by the deductor for claiming credit/ benefit by the deductee and generation of TDS certificates.
"Even after following the steps, TDS certificates were not getting generated in certain cases, leading to disputes between deductor and deductee," Jain said. He said the government should consider all such challenges being faced in the entire workflow of TDS return filings and make necessary changes on the GST portal.
