Process for Factory stuffing/self selaing permission

[Navid Mukadam]

Dear All,

currently, we are in the process of obtaining factory stuffing/self sealing permission foe which our CHA has recommended to obtain an NOC from our GST jurisdictional officer. this is due to the fact that Custom authorities issuing stuffing permission will not be visiting the premises but rather depending on the NOC issued by GST officer based on the survey conducted by GST officer

my query is, whether this NOC is compulsory or some other procedure need to be followed?. kindly advice

AI Summary

No NOC Required from GST Authorities for Factory Stuffing; Customs Handle Self-Sealing Permissions. Refer to Circulars for Guidance. A query was raised about the necessity of obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from GST authorities for factory stuffing/self-sealing permission, as recommended by a Customs House Agent (CHA). Responses clarified that GST authorities typically do not issue NOCs, and such a requirement is not stipulated in the GST Act. Instead, customs authorities confirm the existence of business premises. Some suggested obtaining a local business license or NOC from the Pollution Control Board. It was also noted that jurisdictional customs authorities, not GST, are responsible for inspecting premises for self-sealing permissions. References to relevant circulars and escalation procedures were mentioned for further guidance.
