Madam/Sir,
Subject: Instructions for processing of applications for GST registration –
regarding.
References have been received in the Board regarding difficulties being faced by the
applicants in getting a GST registration, mainly on account of nature of clarifications being sought by the officers with respect to information submitted in the application FORM GST REG-01 and seeking of additional documents which are not prescribed in the List of Documents appended to FORM GST REG-01. While on one hand, there is a need to prevent registration of fraudulent firms created for passing on input tax credit (ITC) without any underlying supply, on the other hand, there is a need to ensure that genuine applicants seeking registration are not unduly harassed.
