The GST Portal allows registrants to upload documents, whether they are submitting a core amendment to the registration or responding to a tax official’s inquiry in Form GST REG-13.
During GST Registration, When To File A Clarification?
Depending on whether the GST officer is satisfied with the information you provided in your GST enrollment application or the documents you attached, you may be asked for clarification.
A ‘Pending Clarification’ status is now applied to the application. The GST Portal will require you to log in with your TRN within 7 working days of receiving the notice and provide the requested clarifications electronically or upload the requested document(s).
‘Pending Clarification’ – Reasons for GST Registration Status
The GST Portal allows taxpayers to register for GST. Within seven working days, the GST Department approves or rejects a taxpayer’s application for registration.
GST officers may occasionally need more information or documentation. GST registration status is set to ‘Pending Clarification’ in this scenario. The GST officer will request additional information and documents from the taxpayer in the email that follows.
A number of reasons call for clarification:
- The application is missing the required documents and information
- There is no permission letter to use the premises for business purposes in the file
- Documents supporting the NOC do not correspond with the address on it
- Documents uploaded as proof of address are neither readable nor clear.
