GST Clarification

Introduction

Every business with a turnover that exceeds a certain threshold must register for GST. During the registration process, business details such as statutory information, address of the business, nature of goods and services, and so on are required.

While the registration may be approved within 7-10 days, the tax officer may require clarification before granting the business registration.

When Should You File a Clarification Form During GST Registration?

If the GST officer is not satisfied with the information you provided in your GST enrollment application or the documentation you attached, the tax office may request clarification.

In such cases, the status of the application is changed to ‘Pending Clarification.’ Within 7 working days of receiving the notice seeking clarifications, you must log in to the GST Portal using your TRN and provide the requested clarifications electronically or upload the requested documents.
