GST
The CBIC issued comprehensive instructions for processing GST registration applications, establishing clear guidelines for tax officers to streamline and standardize the verification process. Key directives include: (a) accepting one documentary proof for principal place of business ownership, (b) restricting additional document requests, (c) mandating registration approval within 7-30 days depending on risk assessment, and (d) prohibiting presumptive queries unrelated to submitted documents. Officers must carefully scrutinize applications, avoid unnecessary delays, and ensure genuine applicants are not harassed while preventing fraudulent registrations. The instructions aim to create a transparent, efficient GST registration mechanism with defined timelines and reduced administrative discretion.
