Compendium of GST FORMS and relevant Notifications issued from June 2017 upto October 2020

Book excerpt: This book basically consist of compilation of all GST FORMS prescribed under CGST Act, 2017/CGST Rules, 2017 and compilation of relevant provisions of CGST Act 2017 and CGST Rules 2017 [ as amended till 31.10.2020] together with all Notifications, Circulars, Orders issued during 01.07.2017 to 31.10.2020. Government has issued more than 400 Notifications and more than 100 Circulars and Orders during last three years, which are relevant to the subject matter of this book, and these references are difficult to view at one place chronologically, when needed for tracking of Compliances of GST provisions as governed by the various GST FORMS. This eBook is aimed at mitigating such difficulty, by arranging all those Notifications, Circulars, provisions of Act and Rules chronologically, at one place, subject wise, so that it becomes easy reference for reader to access and view them, when needed, instantly. Accordingly, we have created 19 groups of FORMS and all the provisions of Act and Rules and Notifications, Circulars, Orders have been placed below each Group for easy reference. Apart from these 19 groups few more groups have been created for Compilation of Late fee and interest waiver notifications, compilation of provisions of newly inserted Section 168A in CGST Act, 2017 and notifications and circulars issued thereunder. We have also compiled all other allied GST acts for ready reference. With the introduction of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, the Government decided to move towards IT based implementation of GST Law across India. More than 180 different FORMS have been introduced under this legislation for monitoring the Compliances and most of these forms are mandatorily required to be filed Electronically. As on date more than 150 Forms are already available on GSTN Portal for Taxpayers as well as Tax Authorities. On this background, these Forms assume extreme importance when it comes to implementation of the GST Law and therefore this book will be handy for Business / Industry / Trade as well as Government and Statutory Auditors while tracking the Compliance for past three years. We are hopeful that this Compilation will be useful for all stakeholders. We propose to update this book periodically and we are open for any suggestion from stakeholders. Disclaimer Utmost care has been taken to download and reproduce and compile these notifications, Forms, Circulars, Orders, GST flyers from CBIC.gov.in official website, however for any reference of the provisions of Act, Rules, Notifications, Circulars and Orders for litigation purpose before judicial authorities, should be drawn from official website of the Govt.
