2. Who can report grievances? Do I need to be a registered user of GST Portal for filing grievances?  

Any registered taxpayer and any user who has been assigned Temporary ID can raise grievance for Payment related issues.

3. Who addresses the submitted grievances?

All grievances related to Payments are handled by the GST Portal. Based on the CPIN and Bank name entered by Taxpayer in the Grievance Form, an on demand call will be sent to the concerned bank. Based on the response from the bank, the Electronic Cash Ledger will be updated with appropriate comments and the grievance will be closed.

If no response is received from the concerned bank or incorrect response is received from the bank, the Grievance ticket will be closed with appropriate remarks explaining the error occurred; e.g. “No details received from your bank for CPIN. Please contact the bank to resolve this. You can also contact the ombudsmen of the concerned bank if the bank is not responding.”.

The remarks will be sent to you on the registered email address and SMS of the authorized signatory. In case of taxpayers who have been filed grievance in pre-login mode, the remarks will be sent on the e-mail message and mobile phone number mentioned in the grievance form.

4. While making GST payment, money has got deducted from my bank account but it is not reflecting in the Electronic Cash Ledger, neither I have received the CIN.

For grievances related to Payments or Electronic Cash Ledger and situations where money got deducted from the bank account but not reflecting in the Electronic Cash Ledger, or CIN not received, etc., users are advised to wait for 24 hours from the time of making the payment. Most cases get resolved automatically within 24 hours. If your payment has failed, the deducted money may either get rolled-back into your bank account, or it may get processed to generate a CIN and thereafter it will be reflected in your Electronic Cash Ledger.
