NEW
FUNCTIONALITY TO CHECK PAN IN GST PORTAL
The Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 came into force with effect from
1.7.2017 in
The GST Registrations are allotted on Permanent Account Number (PAN) basis. (The GSTIN consists 15 characters and first two characters will be State Code and next 10 digits are as in PAN Card.) Hence the name of the proprietor or partners or directors or name of the concern should be entered as available in the PAN Card without any change.
In order to avoid misuse of PAN details by others (other than the PAN holder) a new functionality has been provided in the GST Portal.
Please verify the PAN details in the GST Portal to avoid the misuse of PAN by others and misuse of PAN by others i.e. other than the PAN holder may be reported to the GST Authorities to avoid unwanted problems.
