Arunachal Pradesh Sets Special Procedure for PID Holders to Obtain GSTIN; Key Deadlines in August and September 2018.

The Arunachal Pradesh government issued a notification detailing a special procedure for certain taxpayers to obtain a Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). Taxpayers who received only a Provisional Identification Number (PID) by December 31, 2017, must submit specific details to the jurisdictional nodal officer by August 31, 2018. They must then apply for registration through the GST portal and provide additional information to the GST Network by September 30, 2018. The process includes mapping their new GSTIN to the old one, and these taxpayers will be considered registered from July 1, 2017.
