SOS - Not Able to File ER-8 - Will DG, Systems Help?

THOSE who are paying duty under Notification No. 1/2011-CE dated 01.03.2011 are required to file a quarterly return in Form ER-8. This Notification prescribes a duty rate of 2%. This duty was 1% before the 2012 Budget. Obviously, the DG, Systems has overlooked this change and they have not updated the form in their system. The return still shows duty rate as 1% and the system does not accept if you want to pay 2%.

Today is the last date for filing this return for the quarter ending 30.06.2012 and many assessees are not able to file the return electronically.

Will the Board extend the last date and will Systems update themselves?
