To achieve this, the department has set a formidable goal of attaining a 100% approval rate for GST registrations, specifically through manual mode. This meticulous process involves a thorough examination and verification of all documents submitted along with the registration applications.
Moreover, recognizing the need for proactive measures, the department is taking additional steps to conduct physical verifications for registrations that are considered ‘dicey’ or potentially suspicious. This multifaceted approach underscores the department’s determination to maintain the integrity of the GST system and safeguard against fraudulent activities, reported TOI.
