GST Portal : New functionalities for GST Registration and Refunds

GST

Some new functionalities have been made available by GSTN in regard to GST Registration and Refunds on the GST Portal during the month of February,2021. For ready reference of our readers the same are given below:

1. Post TRN Login, Tracking of Registration Application Status

The Search ARN Functionality for Registration, post TRN Login (ie after TRN is generated by taxpayer/ applicant but has not completed the filing of registration application), has been enhanced for the taxpayers.

They will now be displayed various stages of Registration, with the current status of their application in green colour and remaining pending stages being greyed out.

2. Pre login Tracking of Refund Application Status

Now taxpayers can navigate to Services > Track Application Status > Select the Refund option > Enter ARN to track their refund application, without logging into the GST Portal.

This will display various stages of Refund application filed by them, with the current status of their application in green colour and remaining pending stages being greyed out.

3. Withdrawal of Refund Application by Taxpayer, in Form GST RFD-01W

Earlier the taxpayers had no option to withdraw their refund applications, if they have committed any mistakes, while filing the application.

A functionality has now been implemented for the taxpayer, to withdraw an already filed refund application, by filing Form GST RFD-01W (until the Refund Processing Officer issues an acknowledgement in Form GST RFD-02 or a deficiency memo in Form GST RFD03).

4. Enabling taxpayers/ applicants with (only) TRN, to manually enter bank account details in Refund Application in Form GST RFD-01

So far the taxpayers/applicants having (only) TRN were unable to file an application for refund, as they were not allowed to enter or add bank account details in the Registration Module.

To enable filing of Refund Application by such taxpayers/applicants, a facility has been made available to them for manual entry of bank account details in Form GST RFD-01, while filing an application for refund.
