A new enhancement has been made to the Goods and Services portal, introducing a valuable feature. The portal now includes a list of “Additional Place of Businesses” within the Search Tax Payer Option.
This addition proves to be beneficial for verifying whether the customer’s billing address and place of delivery are registered. By doing so, it helps prevent goods detention caused by delivering to an unregistered address, ultimately facilitating smoother movement of goods.
Previously, only the principal place of business was accessible for viewing on the portal, requiring verification of additional places through certificate registration. It is important to note that these details are not publicly available. Merely providing the GST number will not grant access to this information. To view such details, login credentials are necessary.
The GST department has also enabled the refund application withdrawal in the GST Portal. The update makes clear that the refund application can be withdrawn in case of a mistake in filing of GST Refund Application. The RFD-01W form is to be filled to withdraw the refund application.
The corrected refund application should be immediately filed for quicker processing. The withdrawal can be made up to the stage of acknowledgment of application in Form RFD-02.
This functionality is implemented for the taxpayer, to withdraw an already filed refund application, by filing Form GST RFD-01W (until the Refund Processing Officer issues an acknowledgement in Form GST RFD-02 or a deficiency memo in Form GST RFD-03).
The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has recently introduced a user-friendly feature that enables users to retrieve the Invoice Reference Number (IRN) for invoices, credit notes, or debit notes, even if it was not saved initially. If you happen to forget to save the IRN, there’s no need to worry, as GSTN has simplified the process of effortlessly locating it.
