Registration processing: physical appearance not required; officers may seek only relevant information or conduct premises verification when justified. Applications for GST registration must be processed under Section 25 and the applicable rules, using documents listed in FORM GST REG-01; personal appearance and extraneous document requests are not required and should be discouraged. In cases of doubt or suspicion, the proper officer may call for information relevant to the application and, if warranted, conduct physical verification of business premises under Rule 25 of the HGST Rules, 2017. Requests for additional material must be pertinent, and implementation difficulties should be reported to the Department.
