Dear Members,
My new GST registration application was rejected on the following 2 reasons please suggest solution-
1. Place of business- place of business was given on consent by XYZ, so we provided consent letter but, the electricity bill is paid by the premises on whole by the society therefore they gave an invoice issue by society to XYZ for such charges. Can we provide a different place with valid documents which is not our place of business.
2. Residential proof i.e. passport of partner since he is an NRI- passport of NRI had his Indian address so i provided electricity/ utility bill of foreign country still
We mentioned all this in clarification to new gst application filed but still not accepted.

I am facing an issue in approving the filed Nil returns for International workers in EPFO. I filed the returns for the month of Feb 2021 to Oct 2025 two weeks before. But in the "Returns pending for approval portal" I cannot find the returns made before the Nov 2024. I even tried to file again for the period Feb 2021 and it shows that you have already filed. So what should be done to get this issue rectified? Is it a problem from my side or technical glitch?

Sir, in one of the Asstt.Year we have prefered an appeal against the penalty order u/s.270A. Notice u/s.156 speaks that if the demand is not paid within 30 days, then simple interest could be charged u/s.220(2), again furthere to say that provisions of U/s.221 would attract that penalty would also attracted. Here my doubt is, if I succeed in the appeal, then, penlaty will be deleted. If I do not succeed, then as I understand that the penalty levied by the AO remains same. But how come, penalty carries the simple interest U/s.220(2) and again penlaty carries U/s.221 ie the further penalty. Kindly help me out in this regard sir.
