Organizational Structure proposed under GST
The organizational structure under the GST regime should be on functional basis rather than on territorial jurisdiction basis. The present organizational structure is based on territorial jurisdiction and one office i.e. Range handles all the different functions pertaining to units falling under their jurisdiction. Thus, one office handles the various functions of registration, audit, refund, adjudication, legal, recovery, taxpayer services etc.
Under GST, it is proposed that different divisions of an office should handle different functions of registration, audit, refund, adjudication, legal, recovery, taxpayer services etc. This has been done to encourage specialization as well as better organizational structure. The new structure would be having:

Anti-evasion work is done by three types of teams –
(i) Anti-evasion wing of the Commissionerate Headquarters;

GST is, as generally understood, a national code, intended and expected to be implemented and enforced uniformly across the country, the state barriers not coming in the way and leading to any influence / impairment in doing so. Perhaps, while one is not quite clear, the learned writer, it appears, is inclined to the said view as is gathered, though not made explicit, from the very opening sentence of the write-up. Should that be so, and if that were the view finding favour with the experts at large (open to correction, if wrong), then the matter might be worthwhile taking up with the highest authority , sooner than later, to the end of having the entire scheme of things as presently envisaged , revamped, appropriately, beforehand.
The learned expert may wish to bring out sufficient clarity, for the common good.
