Registration:

• For application of registrations, acknowledgement or deficiency note should be given in one day. Deficiency Note should be formatted.

• In case of non-delivery of certificate in seven days, where proper acknowledgement has been given by the department for application, the assessee will make his own registration number (on the basis of PAN number). The department will notify/publicize on how to give own number in such situations.

• On line registration should be operationalised in six months

• On the issue of filing returns/documents in person, Association can collect these returns on behalf of the assessee and file with the department. This will prevent individual assessee and department interface. Proposed Help Centre in public-private partnership can be given this mandate

Does any body face any problem regarding registration now? Lok Satta had once campaigned that Central Excise demands about Rs. 25,000/- for issue of Registration and about Rs. 15,000/- for cancellation of registration. May be they don’t understand the recent changes. Which Association is ready to collect returns of all its members and hand over to the Ranges and why is nobody talking of e filing of returns?
