Instruction No. 03/2025-GST dated 17th April 2025, issued by CBIC, provides updated and uniform guidelines for officers processing GST registration applications. It aims to prevent undue harassment of genuine applicants while curbing fraudulent registrations.
Officers are directed to seek only prescribed documents listed in Form GST REG-01 and avoid unnecessary or presumptive queries. Clear instructions are given for owned, rented, shared, or SEZ premises, as well as business constitution documents.
Timelines for approval or rejection are reiterated, and strict disciplinary action is advised against deviations from these instructions.
