Delhi: In a significant move aimed at simplifying the Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration process, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, has issued revised instructions to its officers. The revised guidelines, announced on April 17, 2025, are set to reduce the compliance burden on taxpayers and enhance transparency in the registration process.

The decision comes in response to numerous grievances raised by GST applicants who faced challenges during the registration process, particularly due to frequent queries from officers requesting additional documentation beyond what is required. This often led to delays and confusion for taxpayers, hampering the ease of doing business.

Key Changes in the Revised Guidelines:

  1. Adherence to Document List: Officers are now instructed to strictly follow the prescribed list of documents provided in the GST registration application form. This measure aims to minimize the unnecessary requests for additional paperwork, ensuring a more streamlined and predictable process for applicants.
  2. No Notices for Minor Discrepancies: The revised instructions emphasize that notices should not be issued based on presumptive grounds or for minor discrepancies. Officers have been directed to avoid asking for documents that are not critical for the application process.
  3. Approval for Additional Documents: In cases where a document other than those specified in the application form is deemed necessary, officers must seek prior approval from the concerned Deputy/Assistant Commissioner before requesting it from the applicant.
  4. Monitoring and Enforcement: Zonal Principal Chief Commissioners and Chief Commissioners have been advised to set up mechanisms to closely monitor the adherence to these revised guidelines. Trade notices will be issued when required, and strict action will be taken against officers who deviate from the new instructions.

These revisions are expected to significantly ease the GST registration process, ensuring a smoother experience for businesses and reducing the administrative load on taxpayers. By streamlining procedures and enhancing clarity, the CBIC aims to further promote the ease of doing business in India.

This move is a part of the ongoing efforts to refine and simplify the GST framework, making it more taxpayer-friendly and efficient for businesses across the country.
