06 January 2020 Dear Colleagues,

I have applied online for GST registration on 28/12/2019. on 30/12/2019 I received mail from GST department asking for clarification.When I met the Jurisdictional Officer he said that he wants to physically verify all the documents submitted online as Proof of ADDRESS. I gave him a COPY of RENTAL agreement .But he is stressing on Originals.
He says that he will be reject the application oi original documents are not submitted . Can GST registration application be cancelled on this ground?????

Please reply asap

06 January 2020 You need not to meet jurisdictional officer as all the requisite documents to be uploaded on portal itself . No where in the GST Act / Rules - the word " original document required " is mentioned .

As per GST Rules - All the queries, clarifications shall be on line only - where the proper officer requires any clarification with regard to any information provided in the application or documents furnished therewith, he may issue a notice to the applicant electronically in FORM GST REG-03.

where the proper officer is not satisfied with the clarification, information or documents furnished, he shall, for reasons to be recorded in writing, reject such application and inform the applicant electronically in FORM GST REG-05.
