The new mechanism, introduced by CBIC Instruction No. 04/2025-GST, provides a formal process for GST registration applicants to raise concerns and receive timely resolutions regarding their applications.

The new grievance redressal mechanism was introduced by the CBIC on 2nd May 2025.

Businesses can file a grievance by emailing their concerns, along with their Application Reference Number (ARN) and jurisdictional details (Centre/State), to a dedicated email ID that will be published by each Zonal Principal Chief Commissioner/Chief Commissioner of CGST.

If the grievance pertains to State jurisdiction, it will be forwarded to the appropriate authority with a copy to the GST Council Secretariat. Applicants will be informed with guidance if the query was valid, or corrective action will be taken if it was improper.

This mechanism aims to bring transparency, time-bound resolution of issues, and a feedback loop between taxpayers and the administration, thereby reducing bureaucratic delays and making GST compliance easier for startups and MSMEs.
