W.e.f. 27th March, 2016 MCA portal is under unconsciousness stage. Stakeholders are not able to even login, sign, prefill, upload, prescrutiny check of forms. Unnecessary cookies related solutions are being suggested by the MCA.
Efforts should be made to make this portal most user friendly so that stakeholders may easily make compliances and necessary working may be done at a shorter span of time. Every working of data management or back end work should be completed before implemented it on the portal.
Testing should not be done at the cost of stakeholders convenience. Whenever these kind of system problem arises, huge number of filing delayes. At this point of time when we are taking about Startup and Make in India, Digital India these sort of technical problems should be avoided even when it will affect the entire Corporate World.
We have to suffer every year at the time of Annual Filing when the filing loads increases on the portal it crashes. It is new thing or unexpected thing? When everyone knows that at that period the load on the portal will increase, proper arrangements should be done in advance but stakeholders have to co-operate with the system congestion problem. Professionals have to work on odd hours to co-operate with it.
This is a request on behalf of entire corporate world and on behalf of all the stakeholders of the MCA portal to :
1. Not change the service provider agency at a regular interval of time;
2. Please consider the system load at its peak and make suitable arrangement to deal with it;
3. All changes should be first examined and then applied on the main portal of the MCA;
4. Required system maintenance work should be completed with the closure of MCA portal. But when it is on working phase, it should work properly;
5. MCA portal should be user friendly and operation should not be changed as each and every stakeholder is not so computer savvy and tech guy. This portal is being handled by the senior citizens and new professionals as well. Even the number of seniors and new user are much larger than the medium term users who may rapidly adhere the changes in the operations.
