CBEC opens GST Office

By Vijay Kumar

WHETHER the GST Bill will get through Parliament or not, the CBEC seems to have suddenly become active on the GST front. Slots have to be booked in advance for GST if and when it comes.

CBEC has decided to create a GST Directorate in Delhi and for this purpose they are shifting the headquarter of DGST, Mumbai to Delhi. Directorate General of Service Tax (DGST) will henceforth be re-named as Directorate General of Goods & Service Tax (DGGST) w.e.f. 01.08.2015.

This GST directorate will be headed by a Principal DG - as and when they are able to promote some Chief Commissioners to the level of Principal Chief Commissioner.

CBEC F. No.A-11013/18/2015-Ad.IV., Dated July 31, 2015.
