What is the time limit for approval of application for new GST no. SGST keeps on pending it for many days. Also they demand Gumashta License and Nagar Nigam license. Are these documents compulsory for reg.

Reply—As per Rule 10(5) of CGST Rules, Where the registration has been granted under sub-rule (5) of rule 9, the applicant shall be communicated the registration number, and the certificate of registration under sub-rule (1), duly signed or verified through electronic verification code, shall be made available to him on the common portal, within a period of three days after the expiry of the period specified in sub-rule (5) of rule 9.

So many businesses are facing the issue of delay in getting registration approval, and have found no help on raising the issues with the authorities. So taxpayersare required to wait for some time.
