What do you Mean by Word Tax? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before deep diving into the main topic of GST, it is very paramount that all citizens are well versed with what tax is and why is it paid, as every human being is born with a right to know where his hard earned money is going. Therefore, to start with Tax, it is nothing but money charged by the government on public\/citizens for welfare and economic growth of the country such as construction of roads, government schools, government hospitals, Army etc. In simple terms, \u201cmoney taken from people, for the benefit of people\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Goods and Services Tax? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goods and Services tax also known as GST is a kind of an Indirect tax as mentioned earlier. It is nothing but tax imposed on goods and services bought by consumers from a middle man, who transfers it to the Government. This can be explained better by quoting an example. Z, the husband thinks of buying a beautiful gold chain and ring for his wife for her birthday. Therefore, he visits a gold shop nearby called P.N Gadgil and Sons Ltd, and after buying receives a final bill of Rs 23,465 included with 3% GST.<\/strong> So, the gold shop will have to pay this 3% GST <\/strong>to the government. Here, the Gold shop is the middle man (intermediary) who transfers the GST amount from Z (Consumer) to the government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is GST Registration? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GST Registration is nothing but filling an online application form (GST-Reg-01<\/strong>) by taxpayers to GST authorities, through the GST portal with an aim to receive an unique GST No. or GSTIN. The GST Portal ( https:\/\/www.gst.gov.in\/<\/strong><\/a> ) is an online GST Network made to ease the communication between Government and Consumers. It is an online platform wherein one can raise queries, file returns, file details of sales and purchases etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Key Updates and Amendments of GST Registration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During, GST registration, one has to fill in some details such as Name, Address etc. in the registration form on the online GST Portal. There is always a possibility that certain details can undergo changes in future. Hence, to make one convenient to alter such updates and amendments of GST Registration, there is a provision made, known as GST Registration Amendment under section 28 of CGST ACT( Central GST Act)<\/strong>. For instance,<\/strong> B, an Indian Citizen, had made an Adhar card in 2015<\/strong>. However, in 2017<\/strong> he had changed his residential address. Now, he is liable to alter his old address mentioned in his adhar card by updating it. Similar, is the case with the GST Registration Amendment. Some of the key updates and amendments of GST Registration are given below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updates of 7th November 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, after filling Reg-01 <\/strong>application form for registration and Aadhaar Authentication, a link would be sent in 15 minutes asking for OTP<\/strong> (one time password). Post which, the application would be submitted and GSTIN would be received. However, now there is a change witnessed in the registration process i.e filling the form, the portal will check all details such as PAN, Mobile Number, Address etc. and if the portal has a slight doubt regarding the particulars of the applicant, then no link shall be sent. Instead, a new link for booking a physical appointment in nearby GST Suvidha Kendra will be sent to the applicant for document verification and biometrics. While this, a copy of email evidencing the appointment, adhar number and original documents which are uploaded are to be carried by the applicant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update of 1st December 2023  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Earlier to login only username and password would be asked, however from 1st December<\/strong> 2023,<\/strong> if there is a change in the desktop\/ device used to login an OTP will be asked. This is designed to strengthen the login security system on the portal. (i.e., ONE OTP = ONE SYSTEM<\/strong>). It is one of the key updates and amendments of GST Registration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
