2.7 mn assessees yet to fully migrate to GST portal

By

Failure to do so will lead to cancellation of the provisional ID after the statutory three months
As many as 2.7 million of the 7.1 million who were assessed under the pre-goods and services tax (GST) system and have activated their accounts on the latter portal, are yet to complete the entire enrollment process.
As a result, they are yet to file returns, said GST Network, the body handling the system's information technology backbone.
"If you have activated your provisional ID for migrating to GST but not completed all the enrolment formalities, you might be heading for a dead end at the time of filing GST returns," GSTN said.
After the initial process of activation of the provisional ID, a taxpayer has to fill Part-B of the enrolment form at the GST portal, providing relevant information regarding the business, including the authorised signatory. Submission of the completed form with digital signature certificate or electronic verification code entitles the taxpayer to the final registration certificate. About 4.4 million have completed the entire process, of the 7.1 million.
Failure to do so will lead to cancellation of the provisional ID after the statutory three months, GSTN said. "Though the law allows enrolled taxpayers three months to submit Part-B, they should not wait until the last moment to complete this formality. In fact, they need to hurry, as they will be able to file their returns only after they have submitted the completed form," it said.
"The deadline for filing the first return, GSTR-3B, is August 20. Those who fail to submit the enrollment form with completed Part-B before this date will not be allowed by the IT system to file this return," said Navin Kumar, GSTN chairman.

Data storage norm splits digital payments industry  India’s nascent digital payment industry could be thrown into disarray due to the demand by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that all user data be stored within the country, fears an industry grouping, which has termed the decision as “heavy-handed”, even as others, including the country’s largest digital payment provider Paytm, have hailed the move.  In a bid to narrow the growing schism, the industry is planning to send a formal representation to the regulator highlighting its concerns, a top official told ET.  “We are trying to build a consensus on the issue," said the person adding that the representation to the central bank will be ready this week.  RBI on April 6, mandated all payment companies—global and local—to set up data storage facilities within India by October. The stringent six-month deadline has attracted the ire of several sections of the industry that fear it will lead to a disruption of wel...

The Commodity Derivatives Advisory Committee of the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi) will meet on Friday with senior officials of the latter, to give a final shape to the rules on options trading in commodity futures, beside revising the warehousing norms to ensure good delivery on settlement. The decision taken, after discussing with the advisory committee, will be placed before the regulator’s board, to finalise the regulations.
