Source: https://taxguru.in/goods-and-service-tax/kscaa-representation-streamlining-gst-registration-process.html

Karnataka State Chartered Accountants Association (KSCAA) has presented a detailed representation to the CBIC Chairman, highlighting challenges faced in the GST registration process and proposing solutions to enhance efficiency and user-friendliness. Key issues include inconsistent documentation requirements between central and state authorities, logistical hurdles in biometric verification, inaccuracies in geocoding addresses, and lack of transparency in centrally allocated registrations. KSCAA suggests implementing uniform Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), enabling biometric verification at local GST Seva Kendras, and integrating reliable mapping tools. They advocate for technology-driven solutions like online verification, SMS alerts for spot visits, and fast-tracking registration approvals within a stipulated time frame. KSCAA emphasizes the need for a case-by-case evaluation of applications, especially for home-based businesses, and urges clarity on landlord-tenant registration conflicts. Additionally, they recommend establishing redressal mechanisms for frivolous rejections and enhancing portal transparency to provide real-time updates and officer details. These measures aim to simplify the GST registration process, reduce delays, and support genuine taxpayers in compliance efforts.
