FAQ :
The new guidelines aim to maintain ease of doing business for regular taxpayers while engaging in investigations, ensuring uniform procedures, and streamlining enforcement activities.
Investigations generally require approval from the Commissioner. However, matters involving interpretation issues, major corporations, sensitive issues, or those before the GST Council need prior written approval from the Chief Commissioner.
Initial inquiries should preferably be made via official letters, providing specific reasons for the investigation. Digital or online information already available on the GST portal should not be redundantly requested.
Summons should be used strictly within the scope of the CGST Act, avoiding broad or vague requests. They are reserved for situations where necessary to obtain evidence or documents, and prior approval for their content is required.
Investigations are expected to conclude within one year, with an emphasis on avoiding unnecessary delays in issuing show cause notices or closure reports.
Taxpayers can approach the designated Grievance Officer for the redressal of any complaints or grievances related to ongoing investigations.
