Bank asks borrower to obtain IT Certificate under section 281 of Act. But Dept does not issue. At the same time,,GST holds higher stake. Then why not Lending bank asks similar Certificate from GST dept. Both are Statutory Auth. Kindly guide.

the reason IT certificate is requested is becuase Income-tax department has the power to nullify any such sale or lein/mortgage. So the lender ask for this certificate as a permission by the IT department that they no objection to such a mortgage being created.
GST department does not have similar powers. Hence, no such requirement.

Yes. Last year we did apply but no response. My query is that GST conventionally have higher Stake than IT. Then why not any such permission from them. Banka are clueless
