GST registration gets easier as CBIC drops Udyam proof, sets seven-day limit for approvals

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has issued clarifications regarding GST registration requirements for businesses. Companies will no longer need to provide Udyam certificates or face rejections due to unpaid bills. Registration applications must be processed within seven working days with Aadhaar authentication. Tax demands must include clear justifications and cannot be arbitrary. These changes aim to simplify compliance and reduce disputes in tax administration.
