CBIC Tweaks Norms On GST Registration

New Delhi: Businesses will be able to get GST registration within 7 days, while applications flagged as risky will be processed within 30 days after physical verification of the premises.

Observing that some field officers are seeking various ‘unwarranted documents’ by raising ‘presumptive queries’, the CBIC gave an ‘indicative list’ of the documents which officers can seek online from businesses.

“While processing registration application, query should not be raised by the officer seeking original physical copy of these documents,” said the CBIC’s revised instruction for granting GST registration.

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) said it has received complaints regarding difficulties being faced in getting a GST registration.
