ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CGST OFFICERS
The Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 came into force with effect from 1.7.2017 in India.
Based on the initiative of the young inspectors of Chennai Outer CGST Commissionerate a Handbook for CGST Officers has been prepared and issued for guidance. The Principal Chief Commissioner of GST and Central Excise, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry has pointed out that It is commendable that the handbook is being released at an appropriate time, as many officers are appointed in the recent past; and several others are promoted to the higher cadres and have assumed new functional roles, after the recent annual cycle of promotions.
The officers of States and Union Territories were also in the same view/position and hence the handbook issued is given below for ready reference. The State Government and Union Territory GST officers can refer the handbook if necessary.
