Problem: Harassment at the time of GST Registration.

GST officers are harassing taxpayers while granting registration. They ask for any xyz document in the name of compliance like -

1. Registry papers of rented premises despite of submitting notarizd rent agreement.
2. PAN card and aadhar card of landlord.
3. PAN card and aadhar card of all witness.
4. Aadhar card of directors and partners despite doing aadhar authentication on GST portal and many more...........
5. Issuing notice citing different reasons every time to the same type of application.

Their sole purpose of asking so many documents is to call the taxpayer / consultant in their office for their benefit.

Kindly make a detailed guidelines for the officers as to which documents they can ask from taxpayers for GST Registration.

Rectification of returns should be enabled in gstr with certain amount of penalty
By: Shailesh Padelkar | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
Replied to Komal
GST Law is not a ease of doing business because of the GST Return return preparation process can not be completed without help of professionals, unnecessary reconciliations, unnecessary refunds procedure, in the case mistakes, heavy late fee and penalty etc. This law gives harrasment and fear to people. As a result, people will do something else to avoid the GST Registration.

Therefore, GST Law is required to make it easy for taxpayers and professionals. Otherwise in future, only big limited tax payers will remain under GST.

The following amendments are required to make it easy.

1. Name of Tax should be one as GST in place of IGST, CGST, SGST.

2. Every month GSTR 3B should be closed. It should be quarterly only. In place of this, tax payer will pay monthly tax as per his liability. In short fall of tax, interest may be charged.

3. Any revision/ rectification should be done in same respective quarter only, not should be affected other quarter, or next year

4. Tax payers should have unlimited number of times to revise GSTR1 upto sept of next year.

5. Late fee, penalty are too high. It should be total maximum Rs. 5000 so that small businessman can afford.

6. Format of GSTR9 and 9C are complicated and too lengthy.
In place of 9 and 9C. It should be only one Annual Return.

Benefits of the above mentioned Amendments will be to the tax payers and professionals.

a) too much time saving to all.
b) no refunds application filings are required further, In the case of incorrect payment in wrong head or incorrect return filing etc.
c) fear of gst will be removed from tax payers.
d) after removing such difficulties and fear, tax payer will think to start their business and join GST very easily

they are unnecessarily asking for more documents creating objections and is just harassment. GST council must ensure that GST is issued without such bottlenecks and with ease.

Man times purchase bills are missing in GSTR-2B of buyer even after filing of GSTR-1 by seller before 11th of next month. The same bill is reflecting in GSTR-2A but not in 2B.

The reconciliation process is getting complicated day by day. It should be resolved. Buyer return should not be dependent on seller return.
By: Samir Goel | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
Many problems arise just because, there is no option to revise GSTR-3B. There should be an option to revise GSTR-3B as well. That would solve problems of many.

For turnover kindly consider annual return if filed inspite of 3b.
As there is no option for rectifying the returns if there is any error/mistake can be rectified through annual return only so kindly consider annual return

DRC 07 issued but assessee paid it through GSTR 3B OR DRC 03 DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, THEREFORE AMOUNT IS STILL PENDING AS DEMAND

DURING REGISTRATION OFFICERS ASK FOR IRRELEVANT DOCUMENTS OTHER THAN DOCUMENTS AS LISTED IN GST ACT

REVOCATION OF CANCELLATION ORDER IN CASE OF NON FILERS SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC AFTER FILING OF RETURNS

16(4) SHOULD BE RELAXED FOR FIRST TWO YEARS OF GST

GSTR 1 SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR ReVision once in a year as sometimes clerical mistakes do happen

Rule 21 should be taken away as it's leading to high corruption

During transit observation by officers mechanism should be made as how many vehicles has been passed with eway bill by side of the observers. As in many cases bribe is being taken.

Track of new GST registration rejected, approved should be taken into account in order to stop corruption and harassment.
Any SCN in case of new GST REGISTRATION should be made within 3 working days as in many cases officers tend to wait till assessed approach the department.
By: Ca Sidharth Jain | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
In case of appeal, certified true copy is being demanded.
It should be stopped as it leads to corruption and harassment.

RCM on royalty

Due to inverted duty structure in quarry
(stone mining) industry and 18 rcm payable on royalty, crores of rupees are blocked in cash ledger of such industry player. So it leads to working capital issue in this sector.

There are number of dealers having Annual Turnover less than 1/2 crores, who are not aware of return filing procedures, and could not able to aford to maintain their accounts mechanically by engaging an accountant an computers. They are also not able provide data to file returns timely and correctly. In certain cases they have paid their Tax correctly in GSTR-3B which is filed before filing GSTR-1, but have filed GSTR-1 wrongly showing less Tax payable. In such case Govt. does not loose revenue.

There should be an option to revise GST Returns.. That would solve problems of many.
By: Shashi Bhusan Sahoo | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
In case of refunds, sometimes PO acknowledges the application in Form RFD-02 without verifying the documents and details as mentioned.
But while processing the application, PO informs the taxpayers that "relevant period" is incorrect so he rejects the application in Form RFD-06 as RFD-02 (deficiency memo) option is not available now thereby a taxpayer needs to go to appeal u/s 107 which leads to unnecessary litigation and expenses.

By: Richa Kansal | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
1.GST registration officers taking unnecessary time at the time of GST registration.
2. When we are requesting for GST number cancellation, GST number is getting suspended rather than it being getting cancelled.

Restriction on claiming of ITC of a particular year till due date of filing sept return of next financial year should be done away with and such restriction may be linked with the dato of filing of annual return of the concerned financial year as certain unclaimed ITC come to the knowledge only while filling of annual return
By: Varadarajulu Polanki | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
There is no option in Department's system to Recredit the ITC in case of Refund is inadmissible applied under ANY OTHER OPTION.

When Refund gets declined under EXCESS PAYMENT OF TAX OPTION on the basis that ITC was utilised to Pay Tax & PMT 03 was not available that time, We need to apply under ANY OTHER OPTION. But here Option to Recredit refund is not available on Department's portal.

Reversal of GST where payment is not made by Recipient to Supplier within 180 days of purchase. It means if A will not pay to B then, Government of India needs reversal of tax with interest without giving any simultaneous benefit to B. Means on Supply B already paid tax, A should reverse the tax with interest. Not able to understand the logic behind section, it is pure double taxation with interest on one part also. Please withdraw the section for ease of business by not fetching working capital to pay not needed tax.
By: Ca Tejas Kumar Saraf | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
Replied to CA TEJAS KUMAR SARAF
Tejas ji. The logic is on purchase recipient availed benefit of ITC even he did not paid for it even for a period of 180 days. Thus it is unjust enrichment and to be paid back.

1. Navigation in gst portal is painful task rather it should be more user friendly.
Whenever we move from step A to B to C to D then while moving back it should follow same hierarchy from D to C to B to A instead now which it throw us directly from D or C to A.

2. While moving from step A to B, portal buffers for 2 seconds which should not happen.

3. In case where we want to amend any thing in GSTR 3B pertaining to previous financial year then specific tab should be given in table 3.1 and 4, so that all the confusion which arises between 2 financial year will be minimised.

4. Negative figures should be allowed in GSTR 3B

5. Amendment option for GSTR 1 and 3B should be given atleast once or before filing annual return.

6. Amendment to any invoice in GSTR 1 can be done only once. This should also be done away with.

GST Registration Process Issue
Dear Sir
My query is at the time of fresh registration if my registration application assign to state it will go to state if previous application rejected by state in this concern my issue is how can I convince the same officer for same issue again and again the officer rejecting the application he is not going to accept my submission cbic has to make necessary changes I. This rule if 2 times same officer rejecting the application it will move to another officer like state rejecting application third time it should be move to center cos this time taking gst registration is very much hectic. They are unaware of company law partnership act stamp duty and many more similar acts simply are raised query and rejecting application.
By: Mohit Goel | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
In 3B my staff had inadvertantly filled outward supply of Zero rated in B2B raw. IGST refund held up. In GSTR 1 the information submitted correctly. There is no functionality in GSTR to rectify such Bonafide errors. Is there any way out?
By: Rajesh K Tanna | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
If in any month we have only credit notes (sales return) and no sales in that month or no sales in subsequent months the system ignors this negative figure how to solve this ?

Make refund process easy and freindly. Officers are asking unnecessary document and questions while Granting refund, even standard procedures are there. So much Corruption in the Department.

Add more options of GST payment. Like UPI,Debit Card etc.
By: Gopika | Dt: Sep 26, 2021
Government should come up with an idea of gaining revenue from taxpayers which now goes in the pockets of GST Officials say in the name of fast approval of any matter, or rectification of some mistakes in return, in short.. "the same resolution options, if provided by government can generate a good revenue to the government, which is now taken by GST officials by harassing taxpayers"
Example..
1. Revised return option with an amount of penalty.
2. Resolution in same day with an amount of fees.
3. Option of Complaint of GST officials on portal, so that they atleast hesitate to demand any benefit from the taxpayers.

In any unforeseen circumstances when one is not able to file Gstr 3A or 1 an option to deposit an average sum of tax paid in the previous 3 months should be provided. This option should be for one month only.

Registration officer directly asking for bribe to get registration. They claim that they are adjusting the papers though submitted with due care. The logic behind submission of same papers again and again will reduce the registration counts.

Gst main roz roz notification circulars regarding new implementation or amendment etc nahi aana chahiye. Only once a year gst upgradation if required ho to hona chahiye. Roz changes aane se small professional ko bahut musibat hoti hai, vo upgrade nahi ho pate and mistake karte hain. Sath hi hum apne client ko roz ek naya change follow karne ko kahte hain to vo bhi frustrated hota hai and pura cooperation nahi karta. Hamain same old fee main sare new compliance free of cost usko provide karne parte hain. Sath hi jitne bhi GSTP, assessee, professional etc hain unki mail per evry changes jab bhi ho aa jane chahiye.

Jo supplier bill issue karne and sale karne ke baad timely tax deposit and compliance nahi karte unke liye koi strict rule hona chahiye jiska sidha fayda buyer ko ho. If govt intt, latefee, registration cancel etc karti hai to uska koi direct fayda buyer ko nahi milta, and if supplier ka registration cancel ho jata hai to buyer ke liye input milne ke sare raste hi band ho jate Hain. So, jab tak supplier ke sare liable tax deposit na ho uska no. Cancel nahi hona chahiye, Haan koi aur rasta govt ko uske liye nikalna chahiye. And vo supplier agar future main tax jama kar deta hai to related input claim ke liye koi last date restrictions nahi honi chahiye, supplier in that fy main input claim karne ka hakdar hona chahiye.
By: Rk Rajput | Dt: Sep 27, 2021
Hi

Some time while taking input tax credit, if the seller is filing late, the buyer is made to pay the tax amount. If the tax value is very high, the buyer cannot pay for tat much huge amount and also this leads to working capital shortage.

Later when the seller has done the gst filing, the tax paid by the buyer on behalf of the seller, there is no refund, but the taxes can only be adjusted in the future payment.

This leads to capital getting stuck with the government

Thank you
