Problems in gst migration and solution

 

All the  existing Central Excise, Service Tax assessees and the VAT dealers are required to migrate to GST. In order to migrate to GST, assessees would however be provided a Provisional ID and also a  Password by the CBEC/State Commercial Tax Departments. However, there are also a number of problems that the businesses however  generally face during their  migration.

 

The GST common portal would also reopen for the purpose of  migration on 25th June 2017. Assessees are also  required in order  to complete the migration process which is before 30th September 2017. DG Systems is thus also constantly compiling the provisional Id requests and also sending them to the GSTN for the  creation of Provisional IDs and also  pursuing with the GSTN for the issuance of PIDs and also  resolution of the  problems which are faced also  by the registered taxpayers of the  Central Excise and Service Tax. DG Systems would thus also  disseminate the Provisional IDs which is  by or either  after 25th June 2017 to all the assessees whose Provisional IDs were however cancelled for the purpose of not being activated by them. Also , in the interim, following advisory is thus issued for the taxpayers and also the departmental officers thus for the frequently faced problems.

 

The purpose of this article is to make the reader aware of the problems in GST migration and solution .

 

Also, any kind of difficulty which is however faced by the taxpayers while completing the enrollment process on www.gst.gov.in is thus also required to be taken up with the helpdesk of the GSTN.

 

Here are thus a few of the problems which is faced and also  the manner in which it can however  be resolved:

  1. Provisional ID Invalid

One must also try deleting the browsing history and is then signing in on the GST portal again. One will then receive a 10-digit access token which is thus  along with a provisional ID. If one’s  access token which is however less than 10 digits (eg. 7654356), one must then insert a zero, in the beginning, one is also required in order to make it a 10 digit access token (eg. 0007654356).

  1. RC Canceled

If one recieves an error message: “Your RC under is however cancelled, therefore the  Provisional ID thus stands cancelled. Hence one cannot migrate under GST”.

Resolution: One might however will also not be required to file his returns (ST/VAT) within the due date. Hence the ST/VAT department would however  not have forwarded the GST provisional ID thus  to the GST department. One is then required to go to the department (ST/VAT) thus  in person and is also required to  ask them in order  to push the provisional ID which is  manually.

There is thus a chance that the  provisional ID was however issued before 31st Jan 2017 and was also  not utilised. So the same has thus also  been cancelled. One must thus take the following steps in order to get this resolved:

  • Firstly, one is required to send an mail to the cbecmitra.helpdesk@icegate.gov.in in the  form by which your registered e-mail ID
  • The Subject which should thus be : PID which is  required in order  to migrate to GST
  • Then one is required to mention one’s  Service Tax or the Excise R C Number(s)
  • Also, any other problem which is thus  being faced in migration can however be mentioned
  1. OTP not Received

Once one gets registered he needs  the OTP which is  sent to his e-mail id and the mobile.If one however has  not received the OTP, one must then  do the following:

  • Firstly, Click on the  resend OTP
  • Then one should check if one has  Do Not Disturb (DND) services that are  activated with the service provider. One must however deactivate this and then try again in order  to receive the OTP on his  phone.
  • Then one is required to check the spam folder. The mail can also however go to the spam folder.
  1. PAN Details Incorrect

One would however get a validation error if one has  entered an  incorrect PAN details. However , Entering the correct PAN details of the directors is thus very important. This is thus specifically applicable which is  in the case of the full name of the directors is thus being entered on the GST portal. When one  enters  the First, Middle and the  Last Name, it is thus necessary in order  to update the same as it is thus  specified in the PAN database (which is thus with  the income tax authorities).

  1. Range The Code Error

One is thus required to select the correct range code while they are thus  filling in the GST Form-20 which is thus on the GST Common Portal. It may also thus  happen that the required range code is also  not appearing in the drop down. One must then Try refreshing the page and also one must check again in order to see if the range code which is thus  required by him is appearing now.

  1. Pending for the  Verification

When one gets  a message saying that it is  “pending for verification” one must then check if one has however provided the correct OTP. Also, one must  check if his Adhaar is however  linked to the  mobile number.

  1. ARN Not Received

ARN for all the migrations will thus  be received after the 15th June 2017. If one has however  not received the same after 15th June, one must then  get in touch with the GST Helpdesk.

  1. DSC Is Not Registered

If one however gets this error message there are thus  a few things which one needs to do:

  • Register the  DSC on the GST Portal
  • If it however  does not work one must  try uninstalling the DSC utility and then  reinstalling the same
  • One must then Check the Java version. He should thus make sure that  it’s updated and is thus the version of Java which is  being used is the same as what is required
