"It has been made possible as the GST infra has been upgraded to handle up to 3 lakh concurrent logged-in users at a time," it said.

GSTN augmented the capacity of the gateway from 1.5 lakh to 3 lakh concurrent logged in taxpayers in June 2020 as a proactive measure to handle the expected  sharp surge in the indirect tax-related activities on the portal after easing of lockdown.

Further, the upgrade has enabled GSTN to handle and scale up to 5 lakh concurrently logged-in taxpayers, if necessary.

With the upgrade, the GST ecosystem is future-ready to offer a seamless experience to the taxpayers with its augmented capacity even beyond the current load limits, as per the statement.
