The booking system is available from October 9, 2024, onwards. This allows applicants and their legal or financial representatives to schedule a slot that suits their convenience and ensures a smooth and time-saving approach to resolving registration issues.

A Step Towards Greater Efficiency

The implementation of an online mode of grievance redressal is aimed to expedite the resolution process, making it more accessible and user-friendly.

As per the Additional Commissioner of the CRC, Karanjit Vadodaria, who is leading the initiative, this move is part of a broader effort to digitize and smoothen government services. This virtual system allows the Department to address the concerns of applicants more effectively and ensure that the GST registration process becomes smoother and hassle-free.
