A faceless GST system means taxpayers can manage all their GST-related activities, including filing replies and attending hearings for dispute resolution, online, without needing to visit a physical tax office.
It makes the system more efficient, streamlined, and transparent, reducing pressure on taxpayers and removing the fear of harassment by officers. It also prevents misinterpretation of laws and delays caused by irrelevant document requests.
All instructions, queries, requirements, notices, and orders are digitally recorded, ensuring transparency and accountability. Decisions are based more on facts, and officers cannot misuse power or delay cases without reason.
