CBEC issues FAQs on Migration to GST

GST rollout - Taxscan

The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) recently issued Frequently Asked Questions clarifying the queries related to migration to GST.

It is stated in the FAQs that assessees situated in the State of “Telangana”, but incorrectly issued Provisional IDs and passwords for “Andhra Pradesh”, have now been issued new Provisional IDs and passwords for “Telangana”. The previous Provisional IDs and passwords issued for “Andhra Pradesh” have been cancelled, and they can no longer be used for migrating to GST.

For assesses having multiple registered business premises in different States, a Centralized Registration (CR) is available on the ACES portal which captures the address details (including State) of the assessee’s registered business premises in a State, as well as, branches or many registered addresses in different States across the country from where services are provided.

“As a policy, these assessees are issued only one Provisional ID and password for each State (across the CR premises and all branches). For example, an assessee having CR number ABCDE1234FSD002 is having business premises in Delhi, and branches in Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. In this case, the assessee is issued five Provisional IDs and passwords, one for each State.”

The FAQs also provides solution for various technical problems faced by the tax payers during the process of registration.
