CBIC Issues Revised Instructions to Simplify GST Registration Process

In response to rising grievances over difficulties in obtaining GST registration, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has issued revised instructions to streamline the application process. The move aims to eliminate delays caused by unwarranted document demands and ensure a more transparent and efficient registration procedure. 

The new directions, issued on 17th April 2025 (Instruction No. 03/2025-GST), mandate officers to strictly adhere to the prescribed list of documents outlined in the registration application form. They are instructed not to raise notices for: 
  • Presumptive grounds 
  • Minor discrepancies 
  • Non-essential additional documents 
If any document beyond the listed ones is deemed necessary, officers must obtain prior approval from the concerned Deputy/Assistant Commissioner. 

Zonal Principal Chief Commissioners and Chief Commissioners have been asked to establish monitoring mechanisms and issue trade notices as needed. Moreover, strict disciplinary action has been recommended against officers who fail to comply with these new directives. 

This reform is expected to reduce the compliance burden, enhance transparency, and further strengthen India’s ease of doing business environment.
