GST registration Issue

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A user applied for GST registration using a rental agreement, but the department raised a query requiring the rental agreement to be registered under Section 17(1)(d) of the Registration Act 1908. While some tax officers support taxpayers, others insist on registration for enforceability. If registration is rejected on this basis, an appeal may be the only recourse.

27 November 2020 In Rules related to GST registration, it is no where mentioned rent agreement have to be registered. If they reject the registration asking registered rent agreement, you can go in appeal that is only way out.
