Summary of CGST (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2021
OUR COMMENTS: The Ministry of Finance, Government of India, Central Board of Direct Taxes vide Notification No. 15/2021-CGST dated 18.05.2021 has amended certain provisions who brief summary is mentioned as under:
1. Rule 23(1) is amended to allow the filing of an application for revocation of cancellation of registration within a period of 30 days from date of service of the order of cancellation or within such time period as extended by the Additional Commissioner or the Joint Commissioner or the Commissioner, as the case may be. Such amendment is done to bring the rules in line with the amendment made in Section 30 of the CGST Act which allows the time period for filing revocation application to be extended.
2. Proviso has been added to Rule 90(3) to exclude the time period from the date of filing of the refund claim in FORM GST RFD-01 till the date of communication of the deficiencies in FORM GST RFD-03 by the proper officer, from the period of two years as specified under sub-section (1) of Section 54, in respect of any such fresh refund claim filed by the applicant after rectification of the deficiencies. This is a welcome relief as it was observed in many cases that the deficiency memos were being issued very late at the time of expiry of the statutory time period of 2 years.
