GSTN Introduces Mandatory CA/EC Number Tabs in State Specific Information Section

Last updated: 31 July 2023


Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has introduced new tabs in the 'State Specific Information' section of the GST registration form to collect Consumer Agreement (CA) or Electricity Consumer (EC) numbers. This is a mandatory requirement for all applicants who are applying for GST registration.

The GSTN has introduced these new tabs to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the GST registration process. By collecting CA/EC numbers, the GSTN will be able to verify the identity of applicants and ensure that they are registered in the correct state. This will help to prevent fraud and ensure that only genuine taxpayers are registered under GST.
